The Mole Mitts are an item from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. They are gloves shaped like the front paws of a mole that allow Link to dig his way through loose walls or into the ground, functioning similarly to the shovel. Additionally, digging holes in the ground may uncover hearts, Rupees, or Kinstones. The Mole Mitts are found in the Fortress of Winds. The speed at which Link digs can be increased by catching the Joy Butterfly found in the Castor Wilds, which appears after a successful Kinstone fusion with Farore.
