The '''Magic Meter''' is a recurring element in {{LZS|Series}}. It measures [[Link]]'s current level of [[Magic]] Power.
   
  +
==Uses==
−
{{LZS|Series}} has made numerous '''Cameos in Nintendo Media'''. Elements and characters from the series have appeared in a number of [[Nintendo]] games and other licensed, related media. This listing does not include appearances in third-party video games. Please visit Cameos of The Legend of Zelda in Third-Party Media for examples of these.
  
  +
The Magic Meter appears as a green bar (white in {{TAoL}}) on the HUD, which decreases when Magic Power is used. It can be refilled by using [[Magic Jar]]s, drinking [[Potion]]s, or by being healed by a [[Great Fairy]] and certain type of [[Fairy|Fairies]]. The Magic Meter is drained when using Spells or certain items. Enemies such as [[Bubble]]s can drain Link's Magic Meter if they come into contact with him.
   
  +
The Magic Meter can also be upgraded. Depending on the game, it can either be extended or its Magic Power consume rate decreased.

==Non-Canon Appearances==
−
* The [[Master Sword]] appears as a piece of furniture in the original {{np|Animal Crossing (GCN)|''Animal Crossing''}}, {{np|Animal Crossing: Wild World|''Wild World''}}, {{np|Animal Crossing: City Folk|''City Folk''}}, and {{np|Animal Crossing: New Leaf|''New Leaf''}}. It is part of the "Nintendo Set" of furniture. Interacting with it plays the "get item" jingle.
  
  +
{{Noncanon|start}}
−
* The [[Triforce]] appears as a piece of furniture in ''Wild World'', ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf''. It is part of the "Nintendo Set" of furniture. Interacting with the Triforce separates its pieces as they twirl before reforming, mimicking the animation and sound effect of {{ALttP}}'s title screen.
  
  +
===''Hyrule Warriors''===
−
* [[Kafei]]'s and [[Anju]]'s outfits appear as clothes in the original ''Animal Crossing'' only.
  
  +
In {{HW}}, the '''Magic Gauge''' can only be filled by collecting Magic Jars, or when playing as [[Young Link]], by pressing the Strong Attack button to play the "[[Song of Time]]." When it is full, Warriors can enter the [[Focus Spirit]] mode. In this mode, their attack, speed, and range are increased. Different bonuses are granted upon defeating certain number of enemies; reaching those thresholds also refills the Magic Meter slightly. These bonuses last as long as the Warrior is in Focus Spirit mode. When the gauge runs out, the Warrior automatically performs a powerful attack. Focus Spirit mode can also be ended prematurely by pressing the Special Attack button, which triggers an even stronger finishing move.
−
* [[Link]]'s hat and clothes appear in ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf''. Link's pants and boots also appear in ''New Leaf''.
  
  +
{{Noncanon|end}}
−
* The [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]] appears as a mask accessory in ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf''.
  
−
* [[Midna]]'s [[Fused Shadow]] appears as a hat in ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf''.
  
−
* [[Tingle]]'s hood appears as a hat in ''New Leaf''.
  
−
* [[Makar]]'s mask appears in ''New Leaf''.
  
−
* A mask resembling [[Fi]]'s face appears in ''New Leaf''.

  +
*Early images of {{TP}} show a Magic Meter, suggesting that it was intended to appear in the game at some point in development. This is further supported by the fact that a Green [[Chu Jelly]] can be obtained in the [[Wii]] version of the game by merging a Blue and a Yellow [[Chuchu]]. Drinking the Green Chu Jelly has no effect, and scooping it with an empty [[Bottle]] results in no description of the Jelly.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= TheStrawhatNO|published= September 27, 2012|retrieved= |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqVMNt1o1nI|title= Green Chu Jelly (LoZ: Twilight Princess)|site= YouTube|type=}}</ref> It was probably intended to refill the Magic Meter.

====''{{Dk|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest}}''====
  
−
: If the game is beaten with 18 Video Game Hero Coins (in the form of DK Coins) or less, third place in Cranky's Video Game Heroes will be held by [[Link]], behind [[smw:Yoshi|Yoshi]] and {{smw|Mario}}. Link's appearance is based on the design used for official art in {{ALttP}} and {{LA}}, albeit with darker hair, possibly due to palette limitations. He appears unequipped, and looks around the room before crossing his arms. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Link takes the second place instead of {{smw|Yoshi}} (at the time of the original game, ''{{Smw|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island}}'' had just been released). As the game used pre-rendered sprites, this marks the first time Link had been rendered in three dimensions for a game.

−
: In several games, starting with ''{{wk|Kirby Super Star}}'', Kirby's {{wk|Sword}} ability makes many reference to [[Link]], most notably with a hat based on Link's cap from {{ALttP}}, the most recent design at the time of release (although with the addition of a bobble at the tip). The Sword Kirby uses was also made into a design resembling the [[Master Sword]]. When using it, Kirby gains many abilities based on those used by Link, such as the [[Sword Beam]] and [[Down Thrust]].

: In {{wk|The Great Cave Offensive}}, one of the treasures to collect is the [[Triforce]].

These names may also appear on the scorecards of other courses as well. The Links Club, while a reference to the golfing term, may also be a pun of Link from ''The Legend of Zelda'' as well.

====''{{Smw|Super Mario Sunshine}}''====
  
−
: The character Il Piantissimo has a (masked) face reminiscent of the [[Running Man]] from {{OoT}} and the [[Postman]] from {{MM}}.
  
−  
−
====''{{Smw|Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga}}''====
  
−
: One of the items obtained from the Starbeans Café is the Great Force, a yellow triangle resembling the Triforce. Originally, various Nintendo characters were intended to appear at the Café to present the Mario Bros. with related items, before being replaced by Professor E. Gadd and the items slightly renamed. Link was originally supposed to appear and give the Triforce to the brothers.
  
−  
−
: In the Winkle Colosseum, the Mario Bros. participate in a mini-game where they must deflect rocks at enemies known as Chuckoroks, whose name is derived from [[Octorok]]s. These enemies also have a similar appearance, as they shoot rocks from their snouts.

====''{{Smw|Super Paper Mario}}''====
  
−
: Throughout the game Mario is guided by a hint giving Pixl named Tippi. She has the appearance of a rainbow colored (but mostly light blue) butterfly, and is obviously a parody of Navi. Also, when Mimi insists that Mario pays for a vase he broke, she will not accept coins, since she prefers to use octagonal gems called Rubees, again a parody of Rupee. There is a Pixl inside a bathroom on the moon named "Fleep" which requests a piece of paper. Mario then must buy a map, which is then used a toilet paper by Fleep (in a similar way to [[???]]), who rewards him by joining his team.
  
−
: The first boss of the game is a robotic dragon named [[smw:Fracktail|Fracktail]] who is attacked by [[smw:Dimentio|Dimentio]]. After being attacked, the dragon malfunctions and begins to say several computer-inspired phrases, one of which is "I AM ERROR."
  
−  
−
====''{{Smw|Super Mario Galaxy}}''====
  
−
: Game director Yoshiaki Koizumi said in an interview with Nintendo Power (issue #225) that the battle strategy against the boss character [[smw:Megaleg|Megaleg]] is inspired by what was going to be used for the final battle against [[Ganon]] in {{OoT}}, but that was scrapped due to difficulty on camera control. Also, in the third mission of Good Egg Galaxy, Mario fights giant creatures that resemble [[Deku Scrub]]s firing cannonballs at him. In one galaxy, a giant [[Rupee]] appears and grants Mario a large amount of star bits.

====''{{Smw|Super Mario 3D Land}}''====
  
−
:{{Smw|World 5-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-2}} is heavily based on the ''Zelda'' series and was created to honor the game's 25th anniversary. Played predominantly from a top-down perspective and involving Mario moving from room to room in a similar manner to a traditional Zelda dungeon. A puzzle to obtain a Star Coin involves lighting torches using [[smw:Fire Mario|Fire Mario]] which causes the Zelda "puzzle solved" musical cue to play, and the dungeon includes traps that mimic those that appear in Zelda games, such as [[Guruguru Bar]]s, [[Spiked Roller]]s, and [[smw:Spiny|Spinies]] appear as enemies, who also appear in the ''Zelda'' series in the form of [[Spiked Beetle]]s.

====''{{Smw|Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon}}''====
  
−
:In Mission C-3: Roundhouse Brawl in the Old Clockworks, the [[smw:Ancient Poltergeist|Ancient Poltergeist]] (Elder Boffin in the PAL release) is briefly seen arranging six bricks into the shape of the [[Triforce]]. As he does this, the background music briefly plays the "item found" refrain from the Zelda games.
  
−  
−
====''{{Smw|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}''====
  
−
:One of the Luiginoid moves is called [[smw:Luiginoid Generator#Hookshot|Hookshot]], which is a reference to the [[Hookshot|item of the same name]]. This Luiginoid move works in a similar manner to the aforementioned item, causing multiple Luigis to stretch out in a chain to latch onto targets and pull Mario and the remaining Luiginoids to it.
  
−  
−
====''{{Smw|Super Mario 3D World}}''====
  
−
:A secret area in one level of the game takes Mario to an area composed of black blocks that form an 8-bit Link sprite from the original {{TLoZ}}. Lighting them all up to reveal the sprite causes the "item found" refrain from {{OoT}} to play, and a Green Star to appear. After this, the music will change to a remix of part of the main theme of the Zelda series until Mario leaves.

Revision as of 01:34, 27 March 2016

Template:Ability The Magic Meter is a recurring element in Template:LZS. It measures Link's current level of Magic Power.

Uses

The Magic Meter appears as a green bar (white in The Adventure of Link) on the HUD, which decreases when Magic Power is used. It can be refilled by using Magic Jars, drinking Potions, or by being healed by a Great Fairy and certain type of Fairies. The Magic Meter is drained when using Spells or certain items. Enemies such as Bubbles can drain Link's Magic Meter if they come into contact with him.

The Magic Meter can also be upgraded. Depending on the game, it can either be extended or its Magic Power consume rate decreased.

Upgrades

Game How to upgrade Effect
The Adventure of Link Using Experience points
Finding Magic Containers 		Decreases the amount of Magic consumed
Increases the size of the Magic Meter
A Link to the Past Obtained after sprinkling the Mad Batter with Magic Powder on the shrine next to the Dwarven Swordsmiths' house Halves the amount of Magic consumed
Ocarina of Time Obtained from the Great Fairy of Wisdom in the Death Mountain Crater Doubles the size of the Magic Meter
Majora's Mask Obtained after returning all Stray Fairies in the Snowhead Temple to its respective Great Fairy Fountain Template:ExpGame
Obtained after returning all Stray Fairies in the Woodfall Temple to its respective Great Fairy Fountain Template:ExpGame 		Doubles the size of the Magic Meter
The Wind Waker Obtained from a Great Fairy after defeating the Big Octo in the Two-Eye Reef Doubles the size of the Magic Meter

Non-Canon Appearances

Non-Canon Information

Hyrule Warriors

In Hyrule Warriors, the Magic Gauge can only be filled by collecting Magic Jars, or when playing as Young Link, by pressing the Strong Attack button to play the "Song of Time." When it is full, Warriors can enter the Focus Spirit mode. In this mode, their attack, speed, and range are increased. Different bonuses are granted upon defeating certain number of enemies; reaching those thresholds also refills the Magic Meter slightly. These bonuses last as long as the Warrior is in Focus Spirit mode. When the gauge runs out, the Warrior automatically performs a powerful attack. Focus Spirit mode can also be ended prematurely by pressing the Special Attack button, which triggers an even stronger finishing move.

Trivia

TP Magic Meter

Screenshot showing a Magic Meter in an early version of Twilight Princess

  • During development of Ocarina of Time, only adult Link could use Magic.[1]
  • Early images of Twilight Princess show a Magic Meter, suggesting that it was intended to appear in the game at some point in development. This is further supported by the fact that a Green Chu Jelly can be obtained in the Wii version of the game by merging a Blue and a Yellow Chuchu. Drinking the Green Chu Jelly has no effect, and scooping it with an empty Bottle results in no description of the Jelly.[2] It was probably intended to refill the Magic Meter.
