How to Get the Golden Gauntlets - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Guide - IGN

The Golden Gauntlets are the final upgrade to Link's lifting strength in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. These gauntlets allow Link to lift even the heaviest blocks and pillars. This page will explain how to get the Golden Gauntlets, and what other items you can obtain with their power.

Check out IGN's complete guide to the Golden Gauntlets below.

The Golden Gauntlets are the final dungeon item in the entire game, found in Ganondorf's Castle. They allow you to lift the gold and black Ganon pillars, an upgrade from the Silver Gauntlets which only let you lift the black Ganon pillars.

To reach Ganondorf's Castle, you must complete every single Temple then speak to Zelda at the Temple of Time. Once you are inside the castle, head straight for the Shadow Trial (the door marked with the Shadow Medallion symbol).

Inside the Shadow Trial is a massive room sparsely filled with platforms. To cross, you need to first light the torch in the distance with a Fire Arrow (or, shoot a regular arrow through the torch by the door toward the torch in the distance). This will cause a set of platforms to appear, allowing you to cross to the platform on the other side.

Here you first need to defeat the Like Like (you can stun it with your Longshot), then equip the Hover Boots and cross over to the next nearest platform, with the black and gold pillar on it. Look right and you will see a platform with a button on it. Use the Hover Boots again to float over there (or use the Lenses of Truth to see the invisible platforms connecting to it).

Open the chest to receive your shiny new upgrade!

With your fancy new Golden Gauntlets equipped, there is one other upgrade you can quickly get: the Gift of Halved Damage . Exit Ganondorf's Castle, cross the rainbow bridge, then go left toward the dead end. Lift the black and gold pillars to reveal the entrance to a Great Fairy Fountain, where you can pay 500 Rupees for the permanent half damage upgrade!
