The Ice Rod is an item from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. When used, it shoots a blast of cold energy that will freeze objects and most standard enemies. It requires Magic Power to use.
The Ice Rod can be found inside a cave hidden behind a suspicious wall located on Lake Hylia's northern shore. It is not necessary to obtain this item until Turtle Rock in the Dark World, where it must be used to defeat Trinexx. However, obtaining it earlier makes it significantly easier to defeat the Lanmolas of the Desert Palace.
The Ice Rod is most effectively used in conjunction with the Magic Hammer, as frozen enemies smashed with the hammer usually yield large Magic Jars.
