'''Candles''' are items that have appeared only twice in the ''Zelda'' series. They are usually used to light up dark areas, such as a [[dungeon]] room or a cave. Later titles have replaced the candles with similarly functioning [[Lantern|lanterns]].

The '''Power Bracelet''' is an item that increases Link’s strength to almost super-human ability. It is more common in the 2D [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda games]] but has also made appearances in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and similar types of items (the [[#Goron Bracelet|Goron Bracelet]], [[#Silver Gauntlets|Silver Gauntlets]], and [[#Golden Gauntlets|Golden Gauntlets]]) could be found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. Another similar item appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''; the Power Glove and its upgraded form, the [[Power Bracelet#Titan's Mitt|Titan's Mitt]], have the same effect as the Power Bracelets.
==In ''The Legend of Zelda''==
 
[[File:BlueCandleArtwork.png|left|100px]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', there are two obtainable candles, the Red Candle and Blue Candle. When used, either will shoot a fire ball a few tiles ahead of [[Link]], which will remain for a few seconds before disappearing. Although the flame's main function is to light up dark rooms in certain dungeons,.<ref>{{cite manual|quote= Some of the rooms inside of the labryinths are really dark. So use these to brighten them up.|game=''The Legend of Zelda''|page= 25}}</ref> it will also slightly damage anyone who walks into it, including [[Link]] himself. Either candle's flame can also burn down certain bushes in the overworld to reveal hidden staircases, including those leading to [[Lion Labyrinth]] in the first quest, and [[Demon Labyrinth]] in the [[Second Quest|second quest]].
 
   
  +
It can be assumed that the Power Bracelets have been scrapped for most 3D Zelda games because of the use of bombs on bigger rocks and the unrealistic situation of needing a bracelet to lift smaller rocks. Although they are mostly called Power Bracelets, there are very rarely two of them, the only such occasions having been in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''.
The Blue Candle, which can be purchased in several overworld shops for sixty or more [[rupee]]s, is capable of only producing one flame per screen. The Red Candle can produce unlimited flames,<ref>{{cite manual|quote= Blue candles are good for one screen only, but the red ones can light up rooms several screens.|game=''The Legend of Zelda''|page= 25}}</ref> and is found in the seventh level, Demon Labyrinth in both the first and second quest.

TLoZ Zol Splitting Into Gels Artwork
It has been suggested that the portion of this page concerning Power Gloves, Gauntlets, and Mitts 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 Bracelet is an item that increases Link’s strength to almost super-human ability. It is more common in the 2D Zelda games but has also made appearances in The Wind Waker and similar types of items (the Goron Bracelet, Silver Gauntlets, and Golden Gauntlets) could be found in Ocarina of Time. Another similar item appears in A Link to the Past; the Power Glove and its upgraded form, the Titan's Mitt, have the same effect as the Power Bracelets.

It can be assumed that the Power Bracelets have been scrapped for most 3D Zelda games because of the use of bombs on bigger rocks and the unrealistic situation of needing a bracelet to lift smaller rocks. Although they are mostly called Power Bracelets, there are very rarely two of them, the only such occasions having been in The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap.

In The Adventure of Link, the Glove (聖なるグローブ, Holy Glove) is found in Midoro Palace located in Midoro Swamp. It allows Link to break blocks with his sword,[2] granting access to adjacent items, and opening up previously inaccessible areas.

Goron Bracelet

The Goron Bracelet is an item obtainable in Ocarina of Time as Young Link. After arriving at Goron City, Link must play Saria's Song for Darunia to lift him out of his depression. After doing so, Darunia will give Link the Goron Bracelet, allowing him to lift up Bomb Flowers which he can then use to blow up the giant rock blocking the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern.

They allow Link to pick up the black pillars in the various places in the Castle as well as the one blocking the Great Fairy Fountain at the end of the old castle road.

They replace the Silver Gauntlets.

Trivia

  • In Master Quest, the Golden Gauntlets have relocated from the Shadow Room to the Spirit Room.
