Ice Rod

Appearing exclusively in Link to the Past, this blue rod harnesses the power of ice. Link can find this weapon in a cave to the east of Lake Hylia, but the cave cannot be opened without a bomb. By using a little magic power, Link can use this to shoot a snow-like projectile. Most enemies will be permanently frozen solid if they are hit, but some will be defeated instantly. Ether's effect will often have a similar result on enemies.

The Ice Rod is particularly effective against the Lanmolas boss, as one shot can dish out enough damage as four normal sword swings.
