Hammer: Difference between revisions

'''Hammers''' are recurring items in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They vary in size, name, and design, but they all serve [[Link]] the same purpose: smashing objects. Every variation of the Hammer has its limitations, and thus must be used accordingly.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Hammer is called the [[Magic Hammer]]. Contrary to its name, it does not cost any magic power to use. This weapon is used to flatten fence posts and "moles" to advance further in the game, to get through enemy shells or flip them, or to solve puzzles. It is found at the first dungeon in the [[Dark World]], the [[Dark Palace (A Link to the Past)|Dark Palace]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Hammer is known as the [[Megaton Hammer]]. It is very useful against [[Torch Slug]]s because it flips them over to their weak point. It is also used on rusty switches that cannot be pressed otherwise. It can also smash up red boulders that bombs cannot, most of these boulders are located around [[Death Mountain]]. It is the dungeon item of the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]], the second [[Link|Adult Link]] temple.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Hammer is known as the [[Skull Hammer]]. It is acquired at the [[Forsaken Fortress]] the second time [[Link]] visits it. It can be used to smash up spiked or wooden pegs and it also serves as a very powerful weapon against enemies.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Hammer that appears is known as the [[Magic Hammer]]. It is a basic hammer that can be used to flip switches, and defeat certain enemies. It can be upgraded to the Level 2 Magic Hammer, which is a more powerful variation.

In ''[[Cadence of Hyrule]]'', the Hammer, once again appearing as the [[Megaton Hammer]], is an item added in the [[Symphony of the Mask]] expansion. It is a powerful item that can flatten enemies, destructibles (i.e. bushes or pots), or bombable/diggable walls, at the cost of [[Stamina (Cadence of Hyrule)|Stamina]]. On the Inventory screen, it occupies the slot that where the first [[Bottle]] goes in the base game.
