[[File:MagicPowder.png|left|Magic Powder inventory sprite from A Link to the Past]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] can obtain the Magic Powder by bringing the [[Mushroom]] from the [[Lost Woods (A Link to the Past)|Lost Woods]] to [[Syrup]]. She is standing just outside of the [[Magic Shop]]. If Link comes back after a while, and enters the shop, he will find a bag of Magic Powder near the [[Hooded Shopkeeper]]. It has no quantitative limit, but does run on magic power.

The most useful use of the Magic Powder is that it turns [[Anti-Fairy|Anti-Fairies]] into [[Fairy|Fairies]]. This is extremely convenient, especially in the later, and harder, dungeons.

[[File:MagicPowder_LA.png|left|Magic Powder sprite from Link's Awakening]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', the Magic Powder is required to receive the [[Tail Key]]. [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] must find the [[Sleepy Toadstool]] in the [[Mysterious Forest]], and then he can take it to the [[Witch's Hut]] in [[Koholint Prairie]]. She will mix up the Magic Powder for him. He can use it 20 times before it runs out, and he can pick another toadstool and bring it to the witch to get more. Another option is to win the Magic Powder in the [[Trendy Game]].

Like in ''A Link to the Past'', the Magic Powder will light most enemies on fire. It is also used in lieu of a [[Lamp]] to light [[Torch|Torches]]. Furthermore, the first phase of the [[Shadow Nightmares]] can only be defeated with Magic Powder. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy)|Game Boy]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|DX]] versions, the Magic Powder can even kill [[Mutt]]s and [[Cucco]]s. Although it does not turn Anti-Fairies into Fairies in the original two games, it does in the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake.
 
Initially Link can carry up to 20 uses of Magic Powder. However, he can upgrade his carrying capacity to double that amount at the [[Li'l Devil]].{{Ref|LA|243|Li'l Devil}} If he runs out, he can pick another toadstool and bring it to the witch to get more.{{Ref|LA|45|Syrup}} Another option is to win the Magic Powder in the [[Trendy Game]].

The Magic Powder also appears in ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets|Ancient Stone Tablets]]''. It has the same appearance as in ''A Link to the Past''.
