Hall claimed victory in the men's slalom standing event, powering from fourth to first after blitzing the field with a second run of 47.42 seconds.
The 30-year-old will return home with two medals in Korea, having claimed bronze in the Super combined event.
New Zealand's final medal haul will be three, with another alpine skier, Corey Peters, having winning a downhill sitting bronze.
The Dunedin farmer said since winning gold eight years ago, this was the moment he had been waiting for.
"To be able to get the results that you're after is what you're trying to do and when it comes to fruition, it's absolutely amazing.
"It's almost a shock because you work so hard to do it and then when it actually happens, especially on a global stage, yeah, it's going to take a while to sink in."
Hall will be presented with his medal during the Games' closing ceremony tomorrow night.
We are beyond words. @kiwiskiracer Adam Hall has won gold in the Men’s Slalom Standing almost 8 years since he won gold in this discipline at Vancouver 2010! This adds to bronze in Men's Super Combined Tuesday. Adam, you legend. #pyeongchang2018 #paralympics #spiritofgold pic.twitter.com/RuAsRpi339
