The Iron axe is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the original game, it is a mid-level weapon typically restricted to more physically-oriented characters.

Characteristics

The iron axe is the first axe in the series to be used as a weapon. It is a simple tool for woodcutting, but can be a deadly weapon in the right hands. The axe consists of a sharpened iron head attached to the top of a wooden handle. The handle has a length of cloth wrapped around it. Although it is described as being heavy and difficult to wield, it has no actual bearing on gameplay. It was originally depicted as a small hand axe, but after Dragon Quest VIII, the iron axe now has a long enough handle to be wielded with two hands.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

In the original NES version, it was known as the Hand Axe. Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the iron axe was simply known as Iron with a symbol of an axe next to it.
