The Cane of Somaria is a recurring Item in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][name references needed]

Location and Uses

The Cane of Somaria can create a single Somarian Block that Link can push and sometimes carry around. Only one block can exist at a time. This is useful to press switches or obstruct enemy projectiles.

A Link to the Past

In A Link to the Past, the Cane of Somaria is the main Item of Misery Mire, although it is mostly used in Turtle Rock. The Somarian Blocks created by Link can damage Enemies that run into them, though they cannot sustain more than five hits. Magic is needed to create blocks.
