{{ALttP}} features both the Power Glove and the Titan's Mitt.

{{Manual|ALttP&FS|Power Glove|This allows the wearer to lift and throw heavy objects.}}
The Power Glove is located in the {{Term|ALttP|Desert Palace|link}} in {{ALttP}}, introducing the need to lift heavy rocks. These rocks obstruct the path to the bosses of the dungeon, the [[Lanmola]]s. These rocks also surround the entrance to [[Death Mountain]], necessitating the retrieval of the Power Glove before Link can ascend to the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]]. Unlike the Gloves in {{TAoL|-}}, the Power Glove does not alter Link's Sword power.

The Titan's Mitt is located in the [[Thieves' Town (A Link to the Past)|Thieves' Town]]. It can lift heavier, dark boulders as well as [[Skull]]s in the [[Dark World]]. The Titan's Mitt is necessary for rescuing the [[Dwarven Swordsmiths|Dwarven Swordsmith]] who is trapped in the Dark World and desires to return to his partner.<ref>{{Cite|Ribbit ribbit...

The Power Glove is located in the [[Ancient Tomb]] in {{OoA}}. It functions as the L-2 [[Power Bracelet]], being able to lift considerably heavier objects, such as the statues found in and around the Tomb. The Power Glove is crucial for defeating the boss of the dungeon, [[Ramrock]], in its final form. In said form, its hands transform into metal balls, connected to the main body by chains. Link must use the Power Glove to grab onto one of the balls that it doesn't throw towards the young hero and pull it far enough so that it recoils and hits Ramrock, eventually defeating it.

Like the Power Glove, some large boulders also hide Maiamais beneath them, and require the Titan's Mitt to free them. Unlike the Titan's Mitt in {{ALttP|-}}, the Titan's Mitt in {{ALBW|-}} is not needed to lift and break Skulls in [[Lorule]]. When obtained, both the Power Glove and the Titan's Mitt are visible on Link's hands.

It has been suggested that the portion of this page concerning Handy Glove should be made into its own page.
Should the target page already exist, this content should be merged into it where appropriate. Discuss this on article's talk page.

The Power Glove,(ALttP | OoA | ALBW | TFoE | CoH)[1][2][3] also known as the Handy Glove,(TAoL)[4] is a recurring Item in The Legend of Zelda series that allows Link to lift heavy objects.[name references needed] In some games,(ALttP | ALBW) it is eventually replaced by the more powerful Titan's Mitt. In others,(TAoL | OoA) it is itself an upgrade to the Power Bracelet.

Location and Uses

The Adventure of Link

The Handy Glove is situated within the walls of Midoro Palace in The Adventure of Link. Upon collection, it increases the strength of Link's Sword, allowing it to crush the blocks found in Palaces.[5]

A Link to the Past

The Power Glove is located in the Desert Palace in A Link to the Past, introducing the need to lift heavy rocks. These rocks obstruct the path to the bosses of the dungeon, the Lanmolas. These rocks also surround the entrance to Death Mountain, necessitating the retrieval of the Power Glove before Link can ascend to the Tower of Hera. Unlike the Gloves in The Adventure of Link, the Power Glove does not alter Link's Sword power.

The Power Glove is replaced by the more powerful Titan's Mitt in Thieves' Town.

Oracle of Ages

The Power Glove is located in the Ancient Tomb in Oracle of Ages. It functions as the L-2 Power Bracelet, being able to lift considerably heavier objects, such as the statues found in and around the Tomb. The Power Glove is crucial for defeating the boss of the dungeon, Ramrock, in its final form. In said form, its hands transform into metal balls, connected to the main body by chains. Link must use the Power Glove to grab onto one of the balls that it doesn't throw towards the young hero and pull it far enough so that it recoils and hits Ramrock, eventually defeating it.

A Link Between Worlds

The Power Glove in A Link Between Worlds functions nearly identically to its counterpart in A Link to the Past. Rosso gives Link the Power when the hero expresses an interest in picking up small rocks.[6] Rosso also hints that Link should pick up the rocks surrounding his home.[7] If Link obliges in picking up all of the rocks surrounding his house, Rosso will reward Link with a Chest containing 50 Rupees. Some Lost Maiamai can be located beneath small rocks that must be lifted.

The Power Glove is eventually replaced by the Titan's Mitt on the Gear screen, though both are visible on Link's hands.[clarification needed]

Other Appearances

Ancient Stone Tablets

InS Item Worn Glove.png The Worn-Out Glove is an item only available in Ancient Stone Tablets. It works identically to the Power Glove, except that only a single rock can be lifted per screen.

The Legend of Zelda (Valiant Comics)

Link lending the Magic Glove to Bagu

In the The Legend of Zelda comics by Valiant Comics, Link uses the Handy Glove in a fight against Bagu. When Link finds out that Bagu stole a fragment of the Triforce of Wisdom, Link grabs the Handy Glove and proceeds to hunt him down.[8] He spots Bagu coming back towards the castle,[9] and charges him before the two engage in combat. Link then uses his Glove and is able to heave Bagu into the air and throw him down,[10] forcing Bagu to reveal why he took the sacred relic. When he confesses that he gave the Triforce fragment to Ganon because he's holding Bagu's pet frogs for ransom,[11][12] Link reluctantly allows Bagu to use his Magic Glove so that he can defeat the Prince of Darkness and retrieve his frogs.

The Faces of Evil

TFoE Power Glove Sprite.png

In The Faces of Evil, the Power Glove is an item that can be used to destroy stronger enemies and boulders instantly, as opposed to using Bombs. It costs 10 Rubies per use. The Power Glove is created by giving the Crone in Spearfish Falls some Grapple Berries.

The Wand of Gamelon

In The Wand of Gamelon, the Power Glove appears identically as in The Faces of Evil; it is an item that can be used to destroy enemies and boulders instead of using Bombs. It costs 10 Rubies per use. The Power Glove is created by Grimbo of Washubi Swamp after Zelda gives him a Hanyu Spore.

Hyrule Warriors

In Hyrule Warriors, the Power Gloves are the third Level form of the Gauntlets, a class of Weapon used by Link. They are joined with a Chain Chomp, functioning as the Weapon's Ball and Chain.

Cadence of Hyrule

In Cadence of Hyrule, the Power Glove is an Item that allows heroes to pick up light Blocks, Cracked Blocks and Jars, and to push and pull around heavier Blocks.
