[[File:LA - Piece of Power.gif|left]]The '''Piece of Power''' is a temporary upgrade to [[Link|Link's]] sword attacks in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. It is triangular shaped, slightly resembling the [[Triforce]]. These are dropped by common enemies, similar to [[Rupee]]s, but are much rarer; one will be activated as soon as Link touches it.  The item will be denoted by a change in music and causing Link's sword to flash. The item causes Link's sword to deal double damage and to send enemies flying when he hits them. This also results in a larger explosion when an enemy dies. It also increases Link's movement speed. It is one of two temporary upgrades available, the other being the [[Guardian Acorn]].

In [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]], the Red Tunic can be obtained, which acts like a permanent Piece of Power. Pieces of Power can still be obtained after this, but the damage boost will not stack with the Red Tunic, and the only benefit will be the extra speed granted by the Piece of Power.

Pieces of Power are items in Link's Awakening.[1][note 1]

Location and Uses

Pieces of Power appear after defeating 40 to 45 enemies.[3] When obtained, the music changes and Link's Sword begins to flash, causing double damage and sending enemies flying when hit.[1] Pieces of Power also increase Link's speed.[1] Their effect wears off after being hit three times or changing areas.[1]

In Link's Awakening DX, when the Red Clothes are worn, obtaining a Piece of Power quadruples the original damage output.
