— In-game description

Gauntlets are a weapon class used by Link in Hyrule Warriors. While wielding it, Link fights using a pair of strength-enhancing gauntlets, enabling him to swing a hefty wrecking ball and tear the earth itself apart.

Variations

  • Silver Gauntlets: The Level 1 variation. Link wields the Silver Gauntlets from Ocarina of Time, paired with the Ball and Chain from Twilight Princess.
  • Golden Gauntlets: The Level 2 variation. Link wields the Golden Gauntlets from Ocarina of Time, paired with a golden ball and chain. The ball has larger spikes than the Level 1 version.
  • 'Power Gloves: The Level 3 variation. Link wields a pair of Power Gloves from A Link to the Past, paired with a Chain Chomp wrecking ball.
  • 8-Bit Power Bracelets: The Level ★ variation. Link wears a pair of Power Bracelets from The Legend of Zelda, rendered in 3D and attached to black gloves; they are paired with the Raft from the same game, attached to a green rope and also rendered in 3D.
  • Power Gloves +: The Level 4 variation. Their appearance is identical to the Power Gloves.
  • Burning Gloves: The Level 4+ variation. Their appearance is identical to the Power Gloves, but the gauntlets are completely red, with a red Chain Chomp wrecking ball.

Attack Explanation
Base String? Link performs a string of five attacks; He swings the ball right, swings it left, spins it around him, thrusts it forward, and flips before smashing it into the ground a short distance away.
C1? Link makes a grab in front of him. If he grabs a Jar, Bomb Flower, or enemy unit, Link will pick them up, and can either slam them down with Y / B or throw them with X / Y . Contents of Jars are automatically dropped, while enemies are automatically thrown.
C2? Link digs his hand into the ground, creating a small shockwave; This can be extended, causing Link to pull out a boulder and throw it into the air, then burrow into the ground and leap up with an uppercut. During the second extension, Link is invulnerable while underground.
C3? Link pounds his fists together, creating an electric surge around him; This can be extended, causing Link to punch the ground and send out three paralyzing electric pulses in an arc, then dash forward with an electric slap.
C4? Link tears a tall stone pillar out from the ground and slams it down in front of him before shattering the pillar with a thrust of the ball; This can be extended, causing Link to instead grab the pillar and spin it around him (throwing it if the second follow-up isn’t performed), then throw the pillar into the air and slam it into the ground.
C5? Link charges the gauntlets with electricity, grabs a chunk from the ground in front of him, and vaults away, tearing it out in a blast of energy.
Special Attack Link smashes the ball into the ground, then jumps, spins 360°, and tears it out, creating an enormous shockwave around him.
Focus Spirit Finisher Manual: Link swings his ball up into the air, then as it falls, he punches the ball, thrusting it forward with devastating power.
Automatic: Link jumps and slams his palm to the ground, releasing his remaining magic in an electric explosion around him.
