10 Strongest Weapons In The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

While acquiring monster parts can be fun and incredibly useful, sometimes you just want to traverse the map without being disturbed. Most players know to use the Stasis rune when a persistent enemy isn’t letting them climb a cliff or pass through a valley, but it becomes trickier when multiple enemies are chasing you.

The Blizzard Rod freezes all nearby enemies and, provided they’re not near fire or in a hot climate, they’ll stay like that – giving you all the time in the world to run away. However, if you’re wanting to use this in combat, giving yourself time to prepare a bomb, a charge attack or a critical hit from an arrow is nothing to scoff at.

Like other elemental weapons, the Blizzard Rod can only be used a certain amount of times before it has to recharge, but with one or two swings being enough to freeze a pack of foes, you’ll barely notice it. And what’s more, you can wield it alongside a shield for ultimate protection.

There’s a lot of fun to be had with this rod, just don’t make a melee attack with it as you’ll soon find out how quickly a rod harnessing the power of ice can shatter.
