The Skull Hammer is swung forward by using it while holding the left stick in the direction Link is facing when standing still or by not holding any direction, and can be swung in a circle when using it while standing still and holding the left stick in any direction Link is not facing. It can pound certain large ground switches, usually resulting in a path being opened or an event triggering. Link can also use the Skull Hammer to attack enemies, by squishing them, and its shock waves also stun nearby enemies.

The player can assign the Skull Hammer to either {{button|GCN|X}}, {{button|GCN|Y}}, or {{button|GCN|Z}}. Link is able to move around while carrying the Skull Hammer, although this slows his movement. Link holds the Skull Hammer with both hands, similar to the [[Megaton Hammer]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''; it is not instantaneous like other weapons. It takes around one second for Link to pound it on the ground. Link can still perform a [[Spin Attack]] or [[Jump Attack]] while holding the Skull Hammer.

The Skull Hammer is an item that is frequently required since Link acquires it. The Skull Hammer is required in the fight against the [[Helmaroc King]], where it must be used to break the Helmaroc King's mask. It is also required in the [[Earth Temple]] and the [[Wind Temple]].

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'', the Skull Hammer, now known as the '''Hammer''', appears as an [[Item Card]] on the [[Great Sea Map]] and the [[Master Wind Waker Map]]. It is initially obtained on a space representing the Forsaken Fortress, and is used to press switches that appear on a small amount of other spaces to reveal enemies, in order to keep the Forsaken Fortress visited before the [[Earth Temple]].
