[edit] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
When Link brings Syrup a Sleepy Toadstool, she offers to use the mushroom to brew him something. Once Link exits the area and returns, a satchel of Magic Powder can be found inside the Magic Shop. It is not necessary in order to complete the game, however. The satchel of Magic Powder can never run empty, as the powder drains Link's Magic Meter rather than emptying the contents from the satchel, suggesting that the powder is formed by magic. If Link's Magic Meter is emptied, he cannot use it until it is refilled.
The primary use for Magic Powder is transformation of certain enemies; Buzzblobs can be turned into Cukemen, Anti-Fairies into Fairies, and certain enemies into harmless piles of Slime. Sprinkling Magic Powder on the strange statue near the Dwarven Swordsmiths's cottage awakens the Mad Batter who "curses" Link, cutting the Magic he uses by half.
[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Magic Powder can be obtained in two different ways; Link can give a Mushroom from the Mysterious Woods to Syrup residing in Koholint Prairie, from which she creates the powder. Alternately, Magic Powder can be won in the Trendy Game.
Its primary use is the lighting of unlit torches or the defeat or transformation of certain enemies. At one point, Link must use Magic Powder to break the curse on Tarin, who has been transformed into a raccoon after getting lost in the Mysterious Woods. The Magic Powder contains a limited amount of uses, which can be refilled. At first Link can only hold 20, but the amount can be upgraded to 40 later in the game.
