How To Get The Magic Rod In Zelda: TOTK (& Best Fusions)

The Magic Rod is one of the most flexible and versatile weapons in, making it an essential part of Link’s arsenal. The Magic Rod is generally unremarkable in its base form, with low durability and damage. However, by using Link’s Fuse ability, you can transform it into a powerful all-purpose weapon.

Unlike unique weapons such as Link’s Master Sword, the Magic Rod is a generic weapon that can be obtained from several sources, including as a drop from certain monsters. Using Link’s Fuse ability, players can Fuse different materials to the Magic Rod, increasing its damage stat and potentially giving it new and functional abilities.

Link can obtain a Magic Rod from two main sources: Bargainer Statues in The Depths and killing Wizzrobes. To find a Bargainer Statue, you must explore The Depths underneath Hyrule. There are several Bargainer Statues scattered all over The Depths, but due to the darkness and patches of Gloom, it can be tough to locate them. Instead, it’s highly recommended that you visit the Bargainer Statue in Lookout Landing, one of the first settlements Link visits.

The Depths are extremely dark and filled with Gloom, so it’s highly recommended that you learn how to resist Gloom’s negative effects. Finding and interacting with Lightroots also helps by casting light on Link’s surroundings.

In exchange for Poe, the Bargainer Statue at Lookout Landing will give Link the location of another Bargainer Statue. The Statue will charge Link a fee of 10 Poe for the location of the first Statue, allowing Link to track them down and trade. All theBargainer Statues will trade a Magic Rod for 100 Poe, so it’s a good idea to spend some time farming Poe. Poe is easy to find, as these lost spirits manifest as glowing lights in the darkness.

Magic Rods can also be obtained from Wizzrobes if you want to avoid the dangers of The Depths. Wizzrobes are magical monsters that float off the ground and use Magic Rods to cast spells. Different elemental variants can be found
