Ice Rods are dropped by [[Ice Wizzrobe]]s and are the less powerful counterpart to the [[Blizzard Rod]]. Ice Rods can shoot a projectile of ice to freeze anything it hits. Due to the fact it dispels ice it only has 10 attack damage.

Ice Rods are dropped by [[Ice Wizzrobe]]s and are the less powerful counterpart to the [[Blizzard Rod]].

Although useful to paralyse enemies temporarily, it only has 5 attack damage and so has limited use as a sole weapon. It is not recommended to use an Ice Rod for melee combat, as it will break more quickly and is much more useful when used as a ranged weapon.

The Ice Rod is an optional permanent item in ''[[Cadence of Hyrule]]''. It can be used to freeze water or enemies in a straight line at the cost of stamina. Unlike the [[Ice Arrow]]s, the Ice Rod does not have a finite amount of ammo, making its usage solely dependent on the character's remaining stamina. The effects of the Ice Rod last the same amount of time as the Ice Arrows and the [[Scroll of Freezing]].
