(From Japanese text (https://www.glitterberri.com/adventure-of-link/retranslation/) it seems the hammer may have been intended to be the Sacred Hammer, matching some of the other "sacred" items, though the manual forgets about it and the English version drops the mention entirely. (Skull Hammer is also intended to be one but needs looking into if it should be merged with Magic Hammer.))
