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.
