A '''Piece of Power''' is an item from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. | |||
==''Link's Awakening''== | |||
[[File:LA_Piece_of_Power_Sprite.png|left]]Pieces of Power are small flashing triangles that sometimes materialize after Link defeats an enemy on [[Koholint Island]].{{Ref|p. 134|[Pieces of Power] occasionally drop from defeated enemies.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]''}} They temporarily increase [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]]'s speed by 25% and double his [[sword]] strength and knockback.{{Ref|p.134|[Pieces of Power] double attack power and slightly increase movement speed.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]''}} While the Piece of Power is in effect, special music plays and Link's sword icon flashes. This power-up either expires after a short time moving around, after getting hit three times, or upon entering or exiting a cave or building.{{Ref|p. 134|The effect disappears after getting hit three times or moving to a different area.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]''}} | |||
Pieces of Power drop based on how many enemies Link has killed. They become rarer as Link obtains more [[Heart Container]]s. The count of how many enemies have been killed is reset when the player dies or reloads the game. If something else spawns from killing the enemy (such as a [[Guardian Acorn]]), the Piece of Power will usually drop on the next enemy. | Pieces of Power drop based on how many enemies Link has killed.

For example, when the game starts and Link has three hearts, a Piece of Power will drop every 35 kills. | In ''Link's Awakening'' for [[Nintendo Switch]], the number of enemies required to get a Piece of Power is 32 plus the number of Heart Containers that Link has.

*According to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]'', the Pieces of Power were the inspiration for [[Force Gem]]s in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''.{{Ref|p. 267|The idea for Force Gems in "Hyrulean Adventure" came from the Pieces of Power that appeared in ''Link's Awakening''—items that occasionally dropped after defeating enemies and temporarily boosted attack power.|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]''}} | |||
