Spears are recurring objects and weapons in The Legend of Zelda series.
Spinoff appearances[]
Zelda's Adventure[]
Spears in Zelda's Adventure are obstacles appearing only in the Shrine of Water, where they emerge from the walls periodically. If Zelda is hit by a Spear, she takes a Heart of damage.
Hyrule Warriors[]
Spears are a class of Weapons used by Lana in Hyrule Warriors. It is associated with Water. The default Spear is the Deku Spear. The second form of the Spear is the Kokiri Spear, followed by the Faron Spear.
The Lv.★ Spear is the 8-Bit Magical Rod?, which is based on the Magical Rod from The Legend of Zelda. It was added to Hyrule Warriors with the Twilight Princess Pack DLC. In Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, instead of appearing as a separate Weapon, the 8-Bit Magical Rod? replaces the Sun Faron Spear when the "8-Bit Weapons" Setting is turned on in Game Settings within the Settings menu.

Special Attack[]
Lana stabs the Spear into the ground, causing a number of root-like tendrils to emerge. They soon form into a miniature version of the Great Deku Tree, while Lana mysteriously disappears and reappears sitting on a branch. She hops off and waves to it before it vanishes, dropping the foes it collected. This attack damages a circular area ahead of Lana.
