It can be found under an [[Armos]] statue in the area east of the [[Graveyard (The Legend of Zelda|Graveyard]], and can be obtained as soon as Link has the courage to try and pass through the Graveyard. In this game, it will give Link the strength to move some of the snail-like rocks found in the [[Overworld]]. Underneath these rocks are staircases that lead to a secret cave. Inside, Link will find the [[Old Man]], and three more staircases. The Old Man will tell Link to take anyone he wants.{{Ref|LoZ|43|[[Old Man]]}} Each staircase leads to a certain location in the Overworld. Basically, the Power Bracelet allows Link to access the warping system of the game. It is not required to complete the game.
