Power Bracelet: Difference between revisions

The '''Power Bracelet''' is a recurring item in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. This item gives [[Link]] unheard of strength, allowing him to lift and/or pull large objects that were simply too heavy before.

The Power Bracelet makes it debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It can be found under an [[Armos]] statue in the area east of the [[Graveyard (The Legend of Zelda)|Graveyard]], and can be obtained as soon as Link has the courage to try and pass through the Graveyard. In this game, the Power Bracelet gives Link the strength to move some of the snail-like rocks found in the [[Overworld]].{{Ref|[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual|''The Legend of Zelda'' Instruction Booklet]], pg. 23|This bracelet gives Link amazing inner strength. He can even lift giant rocks.}} Underneath these rocks are staircases that lead to a secret cave. Inside, Link finds the [[Old Man]], and three more staircases. The Old Man tells Link to take any one he wants.{{Ref|LoZ|43|[[Old Man]]}} Each staircase leads to a certain location in the Overworld. Basically, the Power Bracelet allows Link to access the [[Warp]]ing system of the game. It is not required to complete the game.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Power Bracelet has two levels to the item now. The first level of the item can be found at [[Bottle Grotto]]. This version of the Power Bracelet allows Link to be able to pick up objects such as pots, skulls, rocks, etc. It can also be used to open certain doors by throwing an object at that closed door. The upgraded version of the Power Bracelet is found in the [[Face Shrine]]. This version of the Power Bracelet allows Link to be able to pick up large statues that are bigger than himself, along with really heavy objects, like the iron ball used in [[Eagle's Tower]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', young Link obtains the Goron's Bracelet, a power bracelet, from [[Darunia]] in [[Goron City]]. It allows Link to pick up [[Bomb Flower]]s, which are useful until obtaining the [[Bomb Bag]]. The bracelet also allows Link to pick up grass clumps.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', the Power Bracelet serves much of the same purpose as it did in ''Link's Awakening''. It is found in the second dungeon, [[Snake's Remains]]. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', the Power Bracelet serves the same purpose as it does in ''Oracle of Seasons'', yet it does not lack its second upgrade. It is found in the first dungeon, [[Spirit's Grave]]. It receives an upgrade, the [[Power Glove]], in the eight dungeon, [[Ancient Tomb]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Power Bracelets are found inside [[Fire Mountain]]. Once Link obtains them, they are equipped at all times. They are needed in order for Link to gain access to the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]]. In this game, the Power Bracelets allow Link to lift heavy headstone shaped stones and other heavy objects, specifically [[Link the Pig|Link]] the pig. They also allow him to lift some bombable rocks.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Power Bracelet can be found in certain stages where it is needed to proceed. Also, in addition to large rocks, the Power Bracelet also allows all the Links to pick up and throw large trees.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', a pair of Power Bracelets can be found in the [[Hyrule Town Sewers]], after Link becomes [[Minish]]-sized. These bracelets allow Link to lift objects in his Minish size that could normally be picked up by normal Link.
