Appearances

The Legend of Zelda

The Power Bracelet in The Legend of Zelda, had only a few uses when compared to later games in the series. Found under an Armos statue in Death Mountain, the power bracelet in this game gave Link the strength to move certain objects that would otherwise be too heavy for him. This would usually reveal a staircase leading to an Old Man with warp points linking certain areas throughout the Overworld.

The Adventure of Link
