The Power Bracelet is a recurring item in The Legend of Zelda series. This item gives Link unheard of strength, allowing him to lift and/or pull large objects that were simply too heavy before.

The Legend of Zelda

The Power Bracelet makes it debut in The Legend of Zelda. It can be found under an Armos statue in the area east of the Graveyard, and can be obtained as soon as Link has the courage to try and pass through the Graveyard. In this game, the Power Bracelet gives 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 finds the Old Man, and three more staircases. The Old Man tells Link to take any one he wants. 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.

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, the Power Bracelet has two levels to the item now. The first level of the item can be found at Bottle Grotto. This version of the Power Bracelet allows Link to be able to pick up objects such as pots, skulls, rocks, etc. It can also be used to open certain doors by throwing an object at that closed door. The upgraded version of the Power Bracelet is found in the Face Shrine. This version of the Power Bracelet allows Link to be able to pick up large statues that are bigger than himself, along with really heavy objects, like the iron ball used in Eagle's Tower.

Ocarina of Time

Main article: Goron's Bracelet

In Ocarina of Time, young Link obtains the Goron's Bracelet, a power bracelet, from Darunia in Goron City. It allows Link to pick up Bomb Flowers, which are useful until obtaining the Bomb Bag.

Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages

In Oracle of Seasons, the Power Bracelet serves much of the same purpose as it did in Link's Awakening. It is found in the second dungeon, Snake's Remains. In Oracle of Ages, the Power Bracelet serves the same purpose as it does in Oracle of Seasons, yet it does not lack its second upgrade. It is found in the first dungeon, Spirit's Grave. It receives an upgrade, the Power Glove, in the eight dungeon, Ancient Tomb.

The Wind Waker

In The Wind Waker, the Power Bracelets are found inside Fire Mountain. Once Link obtains them, they are equipped at all times. They are needed in order for Link to gain access to the Earth Temple. In this game, the Power Bracelets allow Link to lift heavy headstone shaped stones and other heavy objects, specifically Link the pig. They also allow him to lift some bombable rocks.

Four Swords Adventures

In Four Swords Adventures, the Power Bracelet can be found in certain stages where it is needed to proceed. Also, in addition to large rocks, the Power Bracelet also allows all the Links to pick up and throw large trees.

The Minish Cap

In The Minish Cap, a pair of Power Bracelets can be found in the Hyrule Town Sewers, after Link becomes Minish-sized. These bracelets allow Link to lift objects in his Minish size that could normally be picked up by normal Link.

Non-Canon Appearances

BS The Legend of Zelda

"Go, hero! Now, my spell appears to have awoken the Armos. If you provoke this enemy, it will come to life. But... Wait... What is that I see under the foot of Armos? It is... Oh! The Power Bracelet, which was lost for centuries! This was used by an ancient hero. You should also obtain it."

— Old Man (Starting Screen cave)

The Power Bracelet can only be found during Week 4, beneath an Armos north-west of Level 4 of MAP1 and Level 4 of MAP2. It is required to move a rock which prevents the hero from accessing Level 7 and Level 8. It can also allow the hero to move rocks to open a warp from the south-eastern corner of Hyrule to a point slightly east of where the Power Bracelet is found.
