This list of boot abilities is found directly below the item list above. Notably, there is a "dash boots" ability that is commented out. Nothing akin to the Pegasus Boots, an item found in previous Zelda titles that has a similar effect, exists in Ocarina of Time; however, putting on the Bunny Hood in Majora's Mask does cause Link's speed to increase.
