In "Trust Me", after the townsfolk of the Water Town of Saria build a dam following Zelda's advice since their land was infertile, the dam unfortunately does not work and the princess comes to the conclusion that the land is cursed. At that moment, Ganon appears and presents a bottle which contains the magical Water of Life, and says that it will heal Saria's fields. However, he refuses to give it over until Link is captured, and the desperate citizens do so to obtain the Water of Life from the Prince of Darkness.

Philips CD-i games
In and, Water of Life is used to recover Link's and Zelda's health, and is the only form of recovery during a stage in these games. Link and Zelda may carry Water of Life inside of Canteens they receive from certain characters. In The Faces of Evil, the Canteen can be refilled by Hamsha and the Fairies of Spearfish Falls, as well by bottles of Water of Life found in Fortress Centrum, Glutko, Lupay, and Serigon Caves. In The Wand of Gamelon, it can be refilled by the Fairies of the Fairy Pool. If no Canteen is present, then the Water of Life they give will simply restore Link's and Zelda's health.
