Iron Boots

The Iron Boots are a very heavy type of footwear. They are found in three The Legend of Zelda series' games to date. When equipped, the Iron Boots will greatly increase the weight of Link, allowing him to sink to the bottom of lakes, push down rusty switches, stick to metallic surfaces, and more. The Iron Boots are one of many equippable footwear in the series, including the Hover Boots, Kokiri Boots, Pegasus Boots, and the Boots.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

After traversing through the Ice Cavern, Link will walk into a room with a single Treasure Chest. This chest contains the Iron Boots. Afterwards, Sheik will appear and begin to teach him the Serenade of Water. The boots are used to make Link sink in water, or resist high winds.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, the Iron Boots are given to Link by Mayor Bo. He does this after Link was told by Renado that the only way to reach the summit of Death Mountain, where the Goron Mines lie, he must beat the Gorons in a contest of strength. Renado explains that the only person he ever knew that was capable of beating the Gorons was Mayor Bo. Upon travelling back to the Ordona Province and into Bo's house, the mayor will teach Link the art of sumo wrestling, and if Link can beat Bo twice, he will give Link the Iron Boots. He explains that the boots helped him defeat the Gorons.

The Iron Boots can be used to make Link heavier. This element is used in all sorts of ways in Twilight Princess, including to outstrength the Gorons, press rusty switches, resist high winds, and more. The Iron Boots are also used to stick to metallic surfaces. These surfaces are found commonly in the Goron Mines and in the Bridge of Eldin Cavern. While walking on these matellic surfaces, Link walks slowly, which is the result of the increased weight thanks to the Iron Boots. Link will also walk slowly with the Iron Boots equipped on normal surfaces.
