Iron Boots

The Iron Boots are a recurring item in.

Ocarina of Time
In, the Iron Boots can be found in the Ice Cavern near Zora's Fountain. When equipped, they make Link walk slower due to their extreme weight, but he can go at the bottom of lakes and other sources of water. Link must wear the Zora Tunic in order to stay underwater; otherwise, a timer will appear and, if he does not take off the boots and re-surface before time runs out, he will drown. They are required to traverse through the deep water in the Water Temple, and are also useful in the Shadow Temple, as they enable Link to walk against the fan currents.

In, the Iron Boots are changed from equipment to an item, simplifying their use.

The Wind Waker
In, the Iron Boots are found inside a cave in the Ice Ring Isle. Link can use the Iron Boots to avoid being blown away by the wind, making them required for the Wind Temple. They also allow him to activate springboards by wearing the boots and then taking them off. Additionally, wearing the Iron Boots and using the Hookshot on some statues allows Link to pull them down. Unlike in Ocarina of Time, the boots cannot be used to sink beneath the water, as they are automatically unequipped should Link enter deep water.

Twilight Princess
In, the Iron Boots are found in Mayor Bo's house in Ordon Village after defeating him in a sumo match. They are an item assignable to specific buttons. They are used to ward off the Gorons on the way up Death Mountain, and to defeat Gor Coron and Fyrus.

The Iron Boots also allow Link to walk on magnetic roofs and walls in Goron Mines. They are also required to complete the Lakebed Temple, as they allow Link to use Water Bombs while underwater. In the City in the Sky, they can be used to hold Link steady in strong gusts of wind. Link can also roll with them on and hurt enemies.

Hyrule Warriors Series


In and, Linkle gains a new DLC weapon called the Boots, which grant her great kicking power. Her Rank 1 boots have iron padding around the sole and toes of the boots, similarly to the Iron Boots in Ocarina of Time. Her Rank 2 Boots are based directly off of the Iron Boot's in Twilight Princes, with slight alterations making the boots come up past her knees and the addition of blue and yellow feathers attached to them.

Trivia

 * A pair of boots called the Water Boots were set to appear in The Wind Waker. They were possibly an earlier version of the Iron Boots or a seperate version which would allow Link to sink underwater.
