The Hover Boots appear as regular leather boots, albeit with a pale yellow brim along the bottom. What makes them truly unique becomes apparent so long as the pair is worn. The wearer's feet will be hovered above the ground on a tiny cushion of air. As a result, the wearer will have greatly reduced traction, and slide around in a manner similar to traversing a floor of ice. The boots coincidentally enable safe walking over otherwise dangerous hazards, such as moving floors or pits of spikes. With practice, the boots can be used in a fashion somewhat similar to ice skates--effectively trading precision of trajectory for speed. A wearer who is familiar with these boots may be able to turn off the hovering effect at will, enabling the hover boots to be immediately switched into normally-functioning boots, or vise versa.

The boots have a secondary effect. When the user completely leaves the ground and becomes airborne, the boots enable the wearer to hover in mid-air a few seconds. After this brief period of hovering ends, the user drops out of the air normally.

Trivia

  • An Outfitter can treat a Hover Boots 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 15 rupees.
  • The Hover Boots treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Ocarina of Time. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
