The Stockings of Cowardice, or Cowardly Socks, are a peculiar form of cozy cotton socks, usually colored a shade of yellow. The socks have one uncanny effect that is only possible to trigger when the user is in a panicked, 'fight or flight' state of mind. Using the adrenaline of survival, the socks enable their wearer to sprint away from any perceived danger at extremely high speeds. A typical Hylian can quickly reach a sprinting speed of 40 mph (of 65 km/h), which is several times faster than any Hylian could normally sprint, and nearly twice as fast as a Hylian wearing Pegasus Boots. This speed can be retained until the wearer feels he or she is a safe distance away from the threat.

It is virtually impossible to activate the socks without a perceived threat, as they will only trigger if the wearer legitimately feels he is in great physical danger--and will only enhance speed on a course directly away from the source of that danger. Should the wearer's course become less cowardly, he will drop down to normal running speed almost instantly.

Trivia

  • An Outfitter can treat a Stockings of Cowardice as a material for the purpose of combining its effects with other materials or treasures into one item of the Footwear field. When determining how many materials the Outfitter can craft into one item, treat this item as though it had a set cost of 8 rupees.
  • Notably, these socks do not combine with other effects which primarily increase running speed, such as the Pegasus Boots or Pegasus Seed Supply. They do, however, stack with any effect which enhances the user's ability to move faster through Time, as is the case with the the Bunny Hood.
  • The Stockings of Cowardice treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
