The Ice Rod is located in the [[Ice Cave]] east of [[Lake Hylia]] in {{ALttP}} Link must use a [[Bomb]] to gain access to the cave. When used, the Ice Rod launches freezing ice that can permanently freeze enemies. It can also instantly defeat some enemies, such as [[Crow]]s. The [[Ether Medallion]] has a similar effect.  

The Ice Rod in {{ALBW}} functions differently from {{ALttP|-}}, though its effect is the same. Instead of launching balls of ice, it drops an ice block in front of Link. It can be rented from [[Ravio's Shop]] at any point in the game for 100 [[Rupee]]s, or purchased for 1200 Rupees; 800 if it is the first item bought. As in {{ALttP|-}}, the Ice Rod is essential to completing {{Term|ALBW|Turtle Rock|link}}.

The Ice Rod can be upgraded to the '''Nice Ice Rod''' by buying the Ice Rod and giving ten [[Lost Maiamai]]s to [[Mother Maiamai]]. The Nice Ice Rod drops four ice blocks in a diamond formation.

Ice Rods are one-handed {{Plural|BotW|Weapon|link}} in {{BotW}}. They are weaker counterparts to [[Blizzard Rod]]s. Ice Rods are not made of flammable materials and can safely be used around open flames or [[Scorching Climate]]s. Ice Rods are also not made of magnetic materials and cannot be manipulated with [[Magnesis]]. Ice Rods do not conduct electricity, and will float in sufficiently deep bodies of water. Ice Rods are imbued with [[Ice]] elemental energy, generating a flurry of Ice when swung. However, Ice Rods are fragile and will break easily if they make direct contact with objects or enemies. Ice Rods will also break simply from extended use. If Link executes a [[Spin Attack]] while wielding a Ice Rod, he will loose five blasts at once in different directions. They also provide minor resistance to [[Heat]], though they have no effect in Scorching Climates. When thrown with the R button, Ice Rods will not leave [[Link]]'s hand and instead produce a flurry of Ice that will advance in the direction they are thrown. Ice Rods will temporarily lose their magical properties if used excessively, requiring a brief cooldown period before they can be used again.

{{Sectstub|HW|HWL}}

In {{HW}}, the Rented Ice Rod is used by [[Ravio]] as part of the moveset for his [[Rental Hammer]] Weapon. It can be used to smash enemies with chunks of ice or create icicles that can launch enemies into the air or freeze them.

 

In {{HW|-}}, the Ice Rod also appears as an [[Item Card]] in the [[Lorule Map]]. It can be used to destroy fire statues, removing locks on certain adjacent squares so that they can be opened normally. Using it will activate the Water Element Nice Power on the Ravio Board.
