Magic Hammer

The Magic Hammer was found in the Palace of Darkness in A Link to the Past. It serves many purposes as both a tool and a weapon. In both the dungeons and overworld it can remove obstacles from Link's path, allowing him to pass into otherwise inaccessable areas. As a weapon it is useful in dispatching enemies such as Helmasaurs, and essential in defeating Hardhat Beetles. It is capable of shattering the faceplate of the enormous Helmasaur King and is also almost as effective as the sword in dealing with many foes.
