The Magic Hammer, also formatted magic hammer,[1] is an item in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. 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 Palace of Darkness. 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 Moles. He can use the Magic Hammer to attack some enemies, such as to flip over Terrorpins. 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 magic bottle. The Magic Hammer is about as strong as the Tempered Sword.
In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, Magic Hammers are found on some Item Podiums. Magic Hammers can smash objects and flatten stumps in the four Links' path. It can also unearth Force Gems 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.
