'''Magic Spells''' appear in multiple games of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].

==''The Adventure of Link''==
Two magic spells form a major part of the backstory of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' - when the [[King of Hyrule]] decided not to pass the full [[Triforce]] to [[Prince of Hyrule|his son]], believing him unworthy, he hid the [[Triforce of Courage]], telling only his daughter, [[Zelda (The Adventure of Link)|Princess Zelda I]] of its location, and cast a spell to ensure that when a "young man with that character who has been brought up correctly [and] has gained many kinds of experiences...reached a certain age", he would have the mark of the Triforce appear on his hand, destining him to possess it.

When the King died and the former Prince learned what had happened to the Triforce of Courage, he and an evil [[Magician]] confronted Zelda I, and the magician cast a spell which [[The Tragedy of Princess Zelda I|sent the princess into a seemingly-endless sleep]], but also killed the magician so it could never be reversed.

After the mark appeared on [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)#The Adventure of Link|Link's hand]] and [[Impa]] told him of the spells, he set off on an adventure to reawaken the sleeping Zelda I. On this journey, he learns eight spells of his own:

File:Shield Spell.png|link=Shield Spell|[[Shield Spell]]<br/>Shield temporarily halves the damage Link receives. Link learns the spell at the behest of the [[Wise Man's Daughter]] in the [[Town of Rauru]].
File:Jump Spell.png|link=Jump Spell|[[Jump Spell]]<br/>Jump doubles Link's leaping height. Link is allowed to learn the spell after recovering a stolen [[Trophy]] in the [[Tantari Desert]] and returning it to [[Town of Ruto|Ruto]].
File:Life Spell.png|link=Life Spell|[[Life Spell]]<br/>Life recovers three heart containers. In order to gain access to the spell, Link must find a [[Mirror Lady|young woman]]'s mirror in the [[Water Town of Saria]].
File:Fairy Spell.png|link=Fairy Spell|[[Fairy Spell]]<br/>Fairy transforms Link into a diminutive fairy that can fly over obstacles and through locked doors. Link is given the spell after acquiring the [[Water of Life]] from the [[Moruge Swamp]] to save a sick child in the [[Harbor Town of Mido]].
File:Fire.png|link=Fire Spell|[[Fire Spell]]<br/>Fire allows Link to shoot fireballs from his [[Sword]]. It is the only way to damage [[Tektite]]s and [[River Zora#The Adventure of Link|Zora]]s. Link learns the spell in [[Town of Nabooru|Nabooru]] after bringing [[Water]] to a [[Thirsty Lady]]. Link must possess a minimum of five [[Magic Container]]s in order to learn the spell.
File:Reflect.png|link=Reflect Spell|[[Reflect Spell]]<br/>Reflect turns [[Wizard]]s' magic against them. It also allows Link's [[Shield]] to block projectiles that it couldn't previously like an [[Acheman]]'s fireball or a [[Geru]] mace. Link is allowed to learn the spell from the Wise Man of the [[Mountain Town of Darunia]] after successfully rescuing a [[Kidnapped Child]] from [[Maze Island (The Adventure of Link)|Maze Island]]. Link must possess a minimum of six Magic Containers in order to learn the spell.
File:Spell Spell.png|link=Spell Spell|[[Spell Spell]]<br/>Spell turns most enemies into largely harmless [[Bot]]s. It also uncovers a secret in the [[Hidden Town of Kasuto]]. Link is awarded the spell after finding the Wise Man in Hidden Kasuto inside of his fireplace. Link must possess a minimum of seven Magic Containers in order to learn the spell.
File:Thunder.png|link=Thunder Spell|[[Thunder Spell]]<br/>Thunder, the most potent and powerful magic, destroys most enemies instantly. Link must cast Thunder in order to force [[Thunderbird]]'s weak point to appear. Link is taught the final spell by the Wise Man of [[Kasuto]] after collecting all eight Magic Containers.

==''Ocarina of Time''==
{{quote|{{Dump|OOT|265}}|[[Great Fairy]]}}
[[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] can obtain three magic spells in the course of his adventure, although only Din's Fire is required.
<gallery widths=300 mode=nolines>
File:Dins-Fire-Art.png|link=Din's Fire|[[Din's Fire]]<br/>Din's Fire can be acquired from the [[Great Fairy]] located in the [[Great Fairy Fountain]] behind a [[boulder]] on the trail to [[Hyrule Castle]]. The spell creates a great orb of fire around Link, expanding and spreading, setting fire to any enemies or torches on the way. It consumes [[Magic Meter|6 MP]], and is key in accessing the [[Shadow Temple]].
File:Farores-Wind-Art.png|link=Farore's Wind|[[Farore's Wind]]<br/>Farore's Wind can be obtained in the Great Fairy Fountain toward the back wall of [[Zora's Fountain]] behind a giant, bombable wall. Farore's Wind can only be used in dungeons with a [[Dungeon Map]], and is used to make [[warp]] points in the dungeon, which can be returned to any time from that or another dungeon. Each warp point can only be returned to once per casting, although the spell can be cast again after use, and only one warp point can be set at a time. It costs 6 MP to set a warp point.
File:Nayrus-Love-Art.png|link=Nayru's Love|[[Nayru's Love]]<br/>Nayru's Love is found in the [[Desert Colossus]], in a Great Fairy Fountain behind a bombable wall. Nayru's Love allows Link to become invulnerable, but only as long as his Magic Power allows. Link will still get knocked back by enemies, but he will take no damage. This spell takes 12 MP per casting.
