Not to be confused with the Cane of Pacci or the Cane of Byrna.

The Cane of Somaria is a recurring Item in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][note 1][name reference needed]

Location and Uses[]

The Cane of Somaria can create a single block that Link can push and sometimes carry around. Only one block can exist at a time. This is useful to press switches or obstruct enemy projectiles.

A Link to the Past[]

A Link to the Past Manual Description

Staff of Somaria
This mystic staff creates blocks formed of pure magic power. These blocks can be thrown or pushed on to the enemy to cause damage. (Power blocks disintegrate if they touch an enemy five times). If you strike a magic block with the Staff, it will shatter and the fragments will damage enemies nearby. You will need this Staff to get through the Turtle Rock dungeon in the Dark World.

In A Link to the Past, the Cane of Somaria is the main item of Misery Mire, although it is mostly used in Turtle Rock. The Blocks created by Link can damage enemies that run into them, though they cannot sustain more than five hits. Magic is needed to create blocks.

Oracle of Ages[]

Oracle of Ages Manual Description

Cane of Somaria
With a single swing, this cane will magically cause a large block to appear before you. Blocks created with the cane can be carried, thrown and even pushed around.

In Oracle of Ages, the Cane of Somaria plays a similar role as it does in A Link to the Past, but without requiring the use of Magic Power. It is the main item of the Crown Dungeon. Unlike A Link to the Past, the blocks cannot be detonated.

Notes

  1. The Cane of Somaria was referred to as the Staff of Somaria in the A Link to the Past manual.[2] Since this contradicts the name given in-game, it is not considered Canon.
