The Cane of Somaria is a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. It is a magical red cane, although more similar in appearance to a staff, with the ability to create solid blocks of magic, with which Link can hold down switches. It also has other uses; the block can be dispelled, sending fireballs in the four compass directions.
