Referred to as the '''''Pegasus Shoes''''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', they are obtained from [[Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past)|Sahasrahla]] after gaining the [[Pendant of Courage]] in the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]]. The Pegasus Boots allow [[Link]] to run/charge at high speeds. Link holds his sword in front of him while charging, which in turn allows him to do damage to enemies. Charging with the Pegasus Boots can be used for smashing rocks to open secret passages. The Pegasus Boots also have a less known property where Link can recoil off walls and solid barriers allowing him to back jump over pits.  This is required for an optional room in [[Ganon's Tower]] and the GBA exclusive [[Palace of the Four Sword]].

The Pegasus Boots are found in the room immediately before the boss of [[Level 1 (Ancient Stone Tablets)|Level 1]] during Week 1. After Week 1, Level 1 is blocked by a [[Thief (Character)|Thief]], who gives all the permanent items from Level 1 which the [[Hero of Light]] did not collect during Week 1 to the Hero in a [[Big Bag]], including the Pegasus Boots if missed. They are required to enter [[Level 3 (Ancient Stone Tablets)|Level 3]], which is otherwise blocked by a pile of rocks, and [[Level 7 (Ancient Stone Tablets)|Level 7]], which is blocked by an otherwise-immovable gravestone.

While they function mostly as in ''A Link to the Past'', the Hero can change direction while using the boots without slowing down.

The Pegasus Boots are found randomly throughout ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. They have exactly the same ability as the Pegasus Boots in ''A Link to the Past'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. Although, they are used in different ways such as running up steep slopes, defeating the boss of Talus Cave, and obliterating gel-like enemies that sometimes block Link's path.

The Pegasus Boots can be found on various item podiums in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. As in other games, it allows the Links to move more quickly. It can also be used to break certain barriers, charge into trees to reveal hidden items like [[Force Fairy|Force Fairies]], or knock [[Force Gem]]s from ledges. It is also used in the [[Village of the Blue Maiden]] to disperse a crowd by charging into them.

When the Links upgrade it to Level 2 at a [[Great Fairy Fountain]], the Pegasus Boots will allow the Links to run over holes.{{Ref|FSA|1570|In-Game Description}} This is required in some stages such as the [[Desert of Doubt]].

The Pegasus Boots are once again available to [[Link]] during his journey through [[Hyrule]]. They have the exact same ability as the Pegasus Boots in ''A Link to the Past''.  The Pegasus Boots are activated using the L button, just like in the GBA Version of ''A Link to the Past''.
