Pegasus Boots

Once the Pegasus Boots have been acquired, they will enable Link to dash at a high speed. They have appeared in many The Legend of Zelda games, although in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages they were replaced with an item with a similar effect, the Pegasus Seeds. The increased speed allows the wearer to bash into various objects like trees in order to knock out its contents. The greater speed can also be coupled with the Roc's Feather to increase jump distance.

A Link to the Past
A Link to the Past marked the first time the Pegasus Boots appeared. They are gained after the completion of the Eastern Palace, and they are rewarded by Sahasrahla, for retrieving the Pendant of Courage. They are needed to get the Book of Mudora. If Link charges into a tree, it may drop apples which refill health but it may also awaken an angry bee that will attack. They can also unleash a deadly swarm of them if the player is unlucky enough to hit that certain tree. Also, some unstable and cracked walls can be knocked down.

Link's Awakening
In the second appearance of the boots, seen in Link's Awakening, they become much more useful. When combined with the Roc's Feather, they can increase the jump distance by three times. They are also required to kill the third dungeon boss, Slime Eyes.

The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, the boots are required to cross Castor Wilds thus gaining entrance to the Fortress of Winds.

Four Swords Adventures
Pegasus boots have been given the added effect of disturbing villagers. Dashing into a wall will shuffle even an orderly line of villagers.

Phantom Hourglass
The Pegasus Boots did not appear in the main story mode of Phantom Hourglass, but they did appear in the multiplayer Battle Mode. In Battle Mode, Link could take the Pegasus Boots to increase his speed for a short time.
