The '''Magic Hammer''' (also formatted '''magic hammer'''<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures'' instruction booklet, page 39.</ref>), also simply referred to as the '''Hammer''', is a type of item in [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Despite its name, it functions like a regular [[hammer]], allowing [[Link]] to flatten obstacles.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', the Magic Hammer is the main item of the [[Dark Palace]]. The Magic Hammer can be used in the battle against the dungeon's boss, the [[Helmasaur King]], where it can help smash its face plate. Link can use the Magic Hammer to remove some obstacles, such as pegs and [[Mole]]s. He can use the Magic Hammer to attack some enemies, such as to flip over [[Terrorpin]]s. Most enemies can be defeated instantly if Link uses the [[Ice Rod]] to freeze them and then smashes them with the Magic Hammer; doing so usually grants a [[bottle|Magic Bottle]]. The Magic Hammer is about as strong as the [[Master Sword Lv2|Tempered Sword]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', Magic Hammers are found on some [[Item Podium]]s. Magic Hammers can smash objects and flatten stumps in the four Links' path. It can also unearth [[Force Gem]]s that are hidden in the ground. The Links can charge up the Magic Hammer and release to generate a shockwave attack, which stuns nearby enemies. If the Links meet a [[Great Fairy]], she can upgrade the Magic Hammer to Level 2, allowing it to generate a larger shockwave.

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', the Magic Hammer is the most basic [[Hammer (weapon type)|Hammer]] that [[Darunia]] can equip.

==Trivia==
*In the Super Famicom version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', when Link obtains the Magic Hammer, its description abbreviates it as the 「Ｍ、Ｃハンマー」 (''M,C Hanmā'', M,C Hammer), which is directly named after the American rapper {{wp|MC Hammer}}.<ref>Mandelin, Clyde (August 20, 2013).

Retrieved January 27, 2020.</ref> This was slightly modified to 「ＭＣハンマー」 (''MC Hanmā'', MC Hammer) in ''[[BS Zelda no Densetsu: Inishie no Sekiban]]''<ref>Clyde Mandelin (January 17, 2017).

*In the original Japanese release of ''A Link to the Past'', it is possible to use the Magic Hammer and [[Pegasus Boots|Pegasus Shoes]] together if the buttons are pressed simultaneously, allowing Link to charge through rows of Moles for example. This is presumably a glitch as it was removed from all later revisions.
