The Power Glove is the main treasure of the Desert Palace. When worn, the Power Glove bestows upon Link incredible physical strength, allowing him to pick up small and big gray stones scattered around Hyrule. A stronger glove known as the Titan's Mitt can be obtained later on in the game. This is needed to pick up the black stones.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages[]
The Power Glove is an upgrade of the Power Bracelet that allows Link to pick up the big blue statues found in the game. It is found in the final dungeon, Ancient Tomb. Its appearance is similar to that of the Handy Glove found in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
