Template:Item The Fire Rod, also known as the Magic Rod or Magical Rod in some games, is a recurring weapon in the Template:LZS series.
Uses
The Fire Rod is able to fire bursts of energy in the form of fire balls, and thus can be used as an effective weapon or light unreachable torches.
Appearances
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda's First Quest, the Magical Rod is found in Level 6, Dragon Labyrinth. In the Second Quest, it is found in Level 8, Lion Labyrinth. The Magical Rod shoots a similar beam to a Wizzrobe's projectile.
The Book of Magic can be use to increase the power of the Magical Rod. After obtaining it, the Magical Rod's attack leaves a fire effect similar to that of the Candle when it makes contact with an enemy or wall, causing more damage. It can be found in Level 8, Lion Labyrinth, in the first quest, and Level 4, Snake Labyrinth, in the Second Quest.
A Link to the Past
In A Link to the Past, Link obtains the Fire Rod in the Skull Woods. It can be used as a weapon to burn enemies or light unreachable torches. The Fire Rod drains magic from the Magic Meter when used.
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, the Magic Rod is used to expel blasts of magical energy in the form of fireballs. It is the main item of Turtle Rock. It is primarily used as a weapon and for lighting unreachable torches. The Magic Rod is vital to defeating the dungeon's boss, Hot Head. The Magic Rod is one of the most powerful weapons in Link's Awakening, doing twice as much damage as even the Seashell Sword.
There are some enemies the Magic Rod does less damage against, or cannot damage at all, such as Crows, Takkuris, and Stalfos. The Magic Rod is also notable as the only item other than the Magic Powder that can kill a Cucco[1] and a Mutt.
Four Sword Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, the Fire Rod can only be found in certain areas. It can be used to defeat enemies and burn grass to reveal hidden items such as Power Gems. This Fire Rod can either shoot fireballs or a continuous cascade of flames.[2] If Link gives the Fire Rod to a Great Fairy to upgrade it, the Fire Rod will act like the Cane of Somaria, creating blocks that can be used as platforms. If Link uses the Fire Rod again, the block will explode, sending fire in four directions.[3]
Dark Link also uses the Fire Rod in some levels.
A Link Between Worlds
In A Link Between Worlds, the Fire Rod can be rented from Ravio for 100 Rupees. Later on, it can be purchased for 1200 Rupees. It drains the Energy Gauge when used. The Fire Rod shoots a pillar of fire that moves in a straight line, which is capable of damaging even airborne enemies. Because it travels forward and most enemies flinch backwards, the fire pillar is often capable of hitting the same enemy more than once. The Fire Rod can also be used to melt ice, including ice-based enemies, which can be defeated with one hit of the Rod.
By finding 10 Maiamais, Link can give the Fire Rod to Mother Maiamai in order to upgrade it to the Nice Fire Rod. This upgraded version produces a much taller and wider pilar of flames, travels a larger distance, and deals more damage.
Non-canon Appearances
Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, the Magic Rod serves as an alternate fighting style to the Sword and Shield setup. It can shoot wide-ranged projectiles and conjure pillars of flames to juggle enemies. The Rod is also capable of changing shape, such as forming a flamethrower, turning into a larger staff to emit flame-based energy beams, and transforming into a fiery battle axe. While the Level 1 Variant is based more on the Fire Rod's later appearance, the Level 3 Magical Rod resembles the original Magic Rod from The Legend of Zelda.
Trivia
- The Fire Rod was meant to appear in The Minish Cap sometime during development, but was later scrapped. The item can still be found in the game's code and can be triggered by using a cheating device.[4]
