==={{TAoL|-}}===

The Handy Glove is situated within the walls of [[Midoro Palace]] in {{TAoL}}. Upon collection, it increases the strength of Link's Sword, allowing it to crush the blocks found in Palaces.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote=Handy Glove: Use this to break the blocks in the palaces by swinging the sword.|game=TAoL|page=46}}</ref>

 

The {{Term|ALttP|Power Glove}} is replaced by the more powerful {{Term|ALttP|Titan's Mitt|link}} in {{Term|ALttP|Thieves' Town|link}}.

==={{OoA|-}}===

==={{ALBW|-}}===

The Power Glove in {{ALBW}} functions nearly identically to its counterpart in {{ALttP|-}}. [[Rosso]] gives {{Term|Series|Link}} the Power when the hero expresses an interest in picking up small rocks.<ref>{{Cite|I was on the mountain mining ore when, all of a sudden, the earth started shaking! When I got home, the place was a wreck. Rocks everywhere. You seen outside? I'll be bustin' my back for days to clean up that mess. At least pickin' up rocks and smashin' the things feels pretty good. Wish they were full of good ore, though. What? You want to try too? Rah! Feels good smashin' stuff! Huh? Can’t do it? Sorry to hear it. Can’t stand to see a nice kid like you not be able to throw your weight around... Here-take this. It’s a hand-me-down from yours truly.|Rosso|ALBW}}</ref> Rosso also hints that Link should pick up the rocks surrounding his home.<ref>{{Cite|You’ll feel tough with that on your mitt—oughta be able to pick up rocks! Smaller ones, anyway. And if you get to smashin' and just can’t stop yourself, well, there’s a whole bunch of them outside! Grah-ha-ha! Just a joke, that’s all. I wouldn't REALLY tell ya to do all my work out there. Still, if you do...who am I to stop ya? Now, these rocks aren't gonna clean themselves up. Back to it!|Rosso|ALBW}}</ref> If Link obliges in picking up all of the rocks surrounding his house, Rosso will reward Link with a Chest containing 50 Rupees. Some {{Plural|ALBW|Lost Maiamai|link}} can be located beneath small rocks that must be lifted.

 

The {{Term|ALBW|Power Glove}} is eventually replaced by the {{Term|ALBW|Titan's Mitt|link}} on the {{Term|ALBW|Gear Screen|link}} screen, though both are visible on {{Term|ALBW|Link}}'s hands.{{Clarify|ALBW|reason= What appears on what hand?}}

==={{AST|-}}===

{{Noncanon|End}}

In the {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}}, {{Term|TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|Link|link}} uses the {{Term|TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|Handy Glove}} in a fight against {{Term|TLoZ (Valiant Comics)|Bagu|link}}. 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.<ref>''And the Handy Glove is on!'' - Link (''Valiant Comic Issue #4'')</ref> He spots Bagu coming back towards the castle,<ref>''He's coming back!'' - Link (''Valiant Comic Issue #4'')</ref> 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,<ref>''This time, I have a magic glove, so I'll be strong enough to beat you!'' - Link (''Valiant Comic Issue #4'')</ref> 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,<ref>''I gave it to Ganon. I had to.'' - Bagu (''Valiant Comic Issue #4'')</ref><ref>''He's holding my frogs for ransom!'' - Bagu (''Valiant Comic Issue #4'')</ref> Link reluctantly allows Bagu to use his Magic Glove so that he can defeat the Prince of Darkness and retrieve his frogs.

==={{TFoE|-}}===

[[File:TFoE Power Glove Sprite.png|left]]

In {{TFoE}}, the Power Glove is an item that can be used to destroy stronger enemies and boulders instantly, as opposed to using [[Bomb]]s. It costs 10 {{Plural|TFoE|Rupee|link}} per use. The Power Glove is created by giving the [[Crone]] in [[Spearfish Falls]] some [[Grapple Berries]].

==={{TWoG|-}}===

In {{TWoG}}, the Power Glove appears identically as in {{TFoE|-}}; 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]].

==={{HW|-}}===

{{Noncanon|Start}}

In {{HW}}, the Power Gloves are the third Level form of the {{Plural|HWDE|Gauntlets|link}}, a class of Weapon used by Link. They are joined with a [[Chain Chomp]], functioning as the Weapon's [[Ball and Chain]].

* In {{ALttP|-}}, the Power Glove and Titan's Mitt subtly alter Link's sprite so that his hands are armored and no longer flesh-colored. This detail is absent from {{ALttP&FS}}.

* The Power Glove may be a reference to Mattel's {{wp|Power Glove}} controller for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].
