Magic Mirror

The magic mirror is an item given to Link in A Link To The Past when Link travels to Death Mountian. He acquires the Mirror by helping the lost old man find his way to the safe house on the mountain. (Note: This man will replenish Link's life energy each time he visits him in his house.) Link is able to use this magical mirror to travel from the Dark World back to the Light World. Once returned to the Light World, he can go back to the Dark World by touching the sparkling "X" point that appears where he returned to the Light World. This "X" can also be located by using the map. The Mirror is essential to getting to the Tower of Hera, the third dungeon in A Link To The Past.

One more function of the Magic Mirror is that it can warp Link back to the beginning of any dungeon if he uses it while inside. This is comparable to the abilities of Ooccoo from Twilight Princess.
