Syrup

Syrup (シロップ, Shiroppu) is an old witch who has made several appearances to date. Her name makes up the second part of an in-game joke when combined with the name of her apprentice, Maple (Maple Syrup).

A Link to the Past
Syrup first appeared in A Link to the Past where she owned a potion shop. After giving her a mushroom, she gave Link the Magic Powder.

Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, she lives in a small hut in Koholint Island's Mysterious Forest. She plays a similar role that in the previous game, where after Link gives her a Sleepy Toadstool she makes Magic Powder and gives him some.

Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons
In Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, she owns a potion shop, and has a granddaughter named Maple.

The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, she sells Blue Potion in a hut in the Minish Woods. It is also necessary for Link to buy a wake-up-mushroom from her in order to wake up Rem the shoe salesman.

Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Syrup figurine: "A wizard who lives in the Minish Woods. She sells magic items with odd powers. She's looking for an apprentice to whom she can teach her mystic spells."

Later on in the game, Link will have the chance to fuse Kinstone Pieces with a Forest Picori in South Hyrule Field. It will cause Syrup to make a Red Potion which is handier than the Blue Potion.
