Flames jump from the end of the rod and will burn most enemies.|Nintendo Power Player's Guide}} Some enemies like [[Gibdo]]s are especially vulnerable to fire, so use the Fire Rod wisely.{{Ref|The Fire Rod works especially well on Gibdos because the cloth which they are wrapped in is extremely flammable.|Nintendo Power Player's Guide}} The Fire Rod can also be used like the lantern to light torches, but from a distance only.

The Fire Rod in | The Fire Rod in ''Four Swords Adventures'' functions in a similar fashion to its other incarnations. If the item button is held down, the Fire Rod acts as a flamethrower, shooting a continuous stream of fire. Once upgraded to level two at a fairy fountain, the Fire Rod gains the powers of the [[Cane of Somaria]], as seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', creating blocks that can be used to depress switches. The upgraded Fire Rod also can create platforms in specific locations marked by a question mark. [[Shadow Link]] even uses the weapon against [[Link]] in certain encounters. | ||

In ''A Link Between Worlds'', Link can rent the Fire Rod for 100 [[Rupee]]s along with other items after [[Ravio's Shop]] opens. However, once [[Ravio]] lets him buy items, the Fire Rod costs 1,200 Rupees to buy it. Once Link has bought it, he can upgrade it to the [[Nice Fire Rod]] after finding ten lost [[Maiamai]]s and | In ''A Link Between Worlds'', Link can rent the Fire Rod for 100 [[Rupee]]s along with other items after [[Ravio's Shop]] opens.

Unlike previous ''Zelda'' games, when Link uses the Fire Rod, it unleashes a pillar of flames that travels across the ground and disappears shortly afterwards, depleting the [[Energy Gauge]]. As a result of traveling across the ground, if Link uses the Fire Rod on top of grates, the fireball will go through the grate and be on the lower floors of the [[dungeon]]. Being used to defeat ice-based enemies such as [[Ice Gimos]] and [[Ice Bubble]]s, the Fire Rod is also used in order to melt ice such as the ice layer surrounding [[Dharkstare]] and ice stalagmites. Like the [[Lamp]], it can light [[Torch|torches]], but Link can light them at a farther distance than the Lamp. Similarly to the Skull Woods in ''A Link to the Past'', the Fire Rod is needed in order to enter the [[Ice Ruins]] in [[Lorule]]. | Unlike previous ''Zelda'' games, when Link uses the Fire Rod, it unleashes a pillar of flames that travels across the ground and disappears shortly afterwards, depleting the [[Energy Gauge]].
