From the official guides

Pound down stakes and other obstacles that block your way so you can pass. It also works as a weapon, with the same attack power as the level 3 sword.

What it's for

  • It pounds down the stakes that block the way, in the overworld and in dungeons.
  • It hits enemies as hard as the Tempered Sword.
  • An enemy frozen by the Ice Rod breaks apart at one blow.
  • A blow sets off a Land Mine at once.
  • A blow turns a Terrorpin over. It can be hurt only while it lies on its back, and after a while it gets up again.
  • While the Helmasaur King has 32 hit points or more, each blow takes 1 off and knocks Link back.
  • Swung at the Smiths, it only gets Link a scolding.
