Common Locations Hyrule Ridge | |
Properties | |
Thunderstorm Rods are one-handed Weapons that are superior counterparts to Lightning Rods, commonly wielded by Thunder Wizzrobes. Their gems contain Electricity from the Hyrule Ridge.[1] Thunderstorm Rods are not made of flammable materials, and they can safely be used around Fire or Scorching Climates. They are also not made of magnetic materials and cannot be manipulated with Magnesis. Thunderstorm Rods do not attract Lightning during Thunderstorms or conduct Electricity, and they will float in sufficiently deep bodies of Water.
Thunderstorm Rods are imbued with the elemental energy of Electricity, generating three balls of Lightning that advance when swung. However, Thunderstorm Rods are fragile and will break easily if they make direct contact with Objects or Enemies. Thunderstorm Rods will also break simply from extended use.[1] If Link executes a Spin Attack while wielding a Thunderstorm Rod, he will loose eight blasts at once in different directions. When thrown with the R Button, Thunderstorm Rods will not leave Link's hand, and they will instead produce three balls of Lightning that will advance in the direction they are thrown. They will temporarily lose their magical properties if used excessively, requiring a brief cooldown period before they can be used again.
