[edit] The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Syrup's Magic Shop can be found in eastern Hyrule; to the north of the Eastern Palace. She is brewing a magical brew in a cauldron outside her shop. The shop, which is run by her apprentice, sells her home-brewed red, green, and blue potions. Link can give Syrup the Sleepy Toadstool found in the Lost Woods in order for her to complete her potion. After it is finished, Syrup gives Link the completed Magic Powder to him.

In the Game Boy Advance port, the apprentice is replaced by Maple.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Syrup's hut can be found in the region of Koholint Island known as the Koholint Prairie, to the east of the Mysterious Woods. Link must give her a Mushroom in order for her to complete her brew of Magic Powder. He receives some Magic Powder when she is finished. She also instructs him in the primary use for the powder, the lighting of unlit Torches.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons

Syrup the witch appears again in both Oracle games. The first canonical appearances of her apprentice, Maple, also occur in both games.

In Oracle of Ages, Syrup's hut can be found in the north-eastern corner of Yoll Graveyard in the Present. She sells potions, Gasha Seeds and one Piece of Heart. At one point, Link has to buy a potion in order to cure King Zora's illness. Visiting Syrup's hut is completely optional, however; potions can also be found inside Gasha Nuts.

Syrup's Hut from Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons In Oracle of Seasons, her hut is located in the middle of the Sunken City in eastern Holodrum. It can only be accessed during the winter, when the water has frozen and snow has piled up, effectively creating a bridge for Link.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Syrup's hut is located near Lake Hylia. At one point, Link has to get a Wake-Up Mushroom from her shop to wake up Rem the shoemaker. She also sells red and blue potion. Interestingly, Syrup refers to the potions as "Granny's," possibly referencing Granny from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
