The Megaton Hammer is found in the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time. It is needed to break certain boulders and smash in rusted switches. It can also be used to smash down blocks for access to new areas, as well as for the destruction of junk. It does considerable damage, though its slow speed compared to Link's swords makes it less than ideal as a main weapon. It can be used against certain enemies, such as Tektites, to flip them over and attack them. It is also required in the Fire Temple boss fight to smash in the head of the dragon Volvagia.
According to Goron legend, a mythic hero of the Gorons and an ancestor to Darunia, patriarch of the Gorons, used the hammer in battle against Volvagia himself. Wielding the powerful hammer, he was victorious and sealed the dragon in the fires of Death Mountain.[1]
During the adventures of the Hero of Time, the evil Ganondorf unleashed Volvagia once again upon the Gorons as a warning to other races who would challenge his rule. Darunia bravely rushed to confront Volvagia personally and lamented to Link that he was concerned about not having the legendary hammer, but that he would continue regardless.[2]
Trivia
- The Megaton Hammer is an extremely effective weapon in the duel with Dark Link in the Water Temple. You will still take some damage, but the battle will be much faster and you will score many more hits than if you only used the Master Sword.
- The Megaton Hammer was also a weapon Link could use in Soul Calibur II for the Nintendo GameCube. It had a short reach, but good offense.
- The Megaton Hammer can be used to open a Secret grotto instead of using a Bomb.
Other hammers
- Hammer from The Adventure of Link
- Magic Hammer from various Zelda games
- Skull Hammer from The Wind Waker
References
- ↑ A long time ago there was an evil dragon named Volvagia living in this mountain. That dragon was very scary! He ate Gorons! Using a huge hammer, the hero of the Gorons... BOOOM! Destroyed it just like that. This is a myth from long ago, but it's true! I know, because my dad is a descendant of the hero! - Link (Ocarina of Time).
- ↑ I will go on ahead to try to seal up the evil dragon... I'm concerned, though, because I don't have the legendary hammer... But I have no choice. - Darunia (Ocarina of Time).
