Here's something you may not have known about the golden gauntlets: the gauntlets don't actually increase striking power. They only allow Link to endure large amounts of pressure.

It could increase striking power in a way, though they never applied it in the game. Allowing him to endure the pressure doesn't explain how he could be able to physically lift things with such ease. If it were implied in the game, the Golden Gauntlets would probably be able to have a wide variety of uses as demonstrated in Hyrule Warriors even though it's non-canon.

It does explain the fact that he can lift things with ease. When you lift something, pressure is being put on your muscles. The golden gauntlets take away that pressure, allowing Link to lift large objects with ease.

Oh I'm not saying you're wrong about relieving the pressure, in fact that makes sense, though I'm sure it's not the only thing that do. In OoT they could easily be used to use the Big Goron Sword one handed. Though they just never implemented the gauntlets that why even though they could have been used for that purpose.

That's actually a really good idea.
