These shining gloves will allow Link to lift objects with superhuman-like strength; however, only a handful of objects need these in order for Link to lift them. For instance, when you enter the castle of Ganondorf, in order to break the Fire Seal protecting the tower, in the room where it is necessary to retrieve silver switch crystals, one of which is covered by a giant rock pillar that you need the gloves to remove. | These shining gloves will allow Link to lift objects with superhuman-like strength; however, only a handful of objects need these in order for Link to lift them.

To increase this number, go to the Lost Woods. In the Forest Stage, wear the Mask of Truth from the Happy Mask Shop, and the Deku Scrubs will have varying reactions. Try presenting your mask until they offer to increase your Deku Nut carrying capacity to 30 Nuts. | |||
If your version allows it, you can still obtain this upgrade after becoming Adult Link. To do so, find the room containing two Business Scrubs, a patch of soft soil, a large field of grass, and a tree. Look through the Mask of Truth. Above the grass, you'll see some butterflies flying around near a hole. Enter it. Put on the mask, and walk up. The Scrubs will look at you. Walk up to the Scrub with the mustache and talk to him.
