Magic Beans are recurring items in the The Legend of Zelda series. These magical, oversized beans have several multi-colored kernels in them. If planted in a patches of Soft Soil and left to grow for a while, Magic Beans sprout fluffy leaves which can carry a passenger through the air to hard-to-reach areas, often leading to treausures such as Pieces of Heart. When the "Song of Storms" is played nearby a budding plant, fairies appear.

- "You got a Magic Bean! Find a suitable spot for a garden and plant it with (C). Then, wait for something fun to happen!"
- — In-game description
Magic Beans can be purchased from the Bean Seller found near the banks of Zora's River. Every time Link purchases a Magic Bean, the price of the next bean increases by 10 Rupees. Link can purchase ten Magic Beans in all, which can be planted in ten respective spots of soft soil found across Hyrule. Once it has been planted, Link can return to the same location as an adult to find that a plant has grown — the plants often provide excellent shortcuts, as is the case on Death Mountain.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Magic Beans can be purchased from the Bean Seller, who can be found in a Grotto in the Inner Palace Garden of the Deku Palace. Once Link has purchased his first bean, more beans can be purchased either from the Bean Seller, or a Business Scrub found in the Southern Swamp (or in South Clock Town if Link has traded him the City Title Deed). Magic Beans are needed in order to sneak inside the Deku Palace's prison and talk to the Imprisoned Monkey, in effect learning the "Sonata of Awakening".
Once a bean has been planted in a patch of soft soil in the Outer Palace Garden, Spring Water, which can be carried in bottles, must be sprinkled on the plant bud to make it grow. Optionally, the "Song of Storms" can be played near the plant to make it grow instead of the Spring Water. The rain shower that occurs on the Second Day will also cause the plants to grow.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
