A Muscle Band can come in a variety of forms, from a metallic bracelet to an elastic headband. Regardless, it is always a band that can be worn on the body.
While the band is worn, the user's physical strength is magically altered. The wearer's strength becomes equivalent to the strength of a Darknut or Lynel. A particularly strong Korok with a Muscle Band will be able to match the strength of a particularly strong Lynel. Simultaneously, a particularly weak Korok with a Muscle Band will still be weaker than even an average Lynel. Indeed, relative strength is reflected appropriately by the Muscle Band. As such, any Lynel or Darknut will not be any stronger or weaker while wearing a Muscle Band.
The effect of a muscle band has a slight variance with the wearer's body mass. This variance is less noticeable when sizes are comparable, such as a 5-foot-tall Hylian and a 7-foot tall Gerudo. It becomes extreme when comparing either of these to a Picori, however, as even a typical hylian has hundreds of times more mass than any picori.
A strange side-effect of the Muscle Band is that the wearer's body tends to become much more dense and heavy. Because of this, feats of strength which move the body--such as running or jumping--are not significantly affected. A lightweight Deku Scrub won't be able to jump much higher even with a Muscle Band. That Deku Scrub also becomes significantly harder for other creatures to lift or move, however.
Trivia
- A Power Bracelet also is a band which affects the wearer's strength, albeit in a different way.
- An Outfitter can treat a Muscle Band as a material for the purpose of combining its effects with other materials or treasures into one item of the Handgear field. When determining how many materials the Outfitter can craft into one item, treat this item as though it had a set cost of 60 rupees.
- The Muscle Band treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
