Sand Wand

The Sand Wand is an item that appears in Spirit Tracks. Obtained in the Sand Temple, the fifth dungeon, this tool will turn sand into solid walls wherever the green orb of the Sand Wand touches. Each cube-shaped segment of the sand walls will stay intact for four seconds. Link can use it below his feet to raise himself to higher ground, as well as to roll boulders, flip puzzle blocks, trap certain enemies, find items hidden beneath sand, and allow Phantom Zelda to move across sand where she would normally sink.
