Magic Meter

The Magic Meter is a recurring element in. It measures Link's current level of Magic Power.

Uses
The Magic Meter appears as a green bar (white in ) on the HUD, which decreases when Magic Power is used. It can be refilled by using Magic Jars, drinking Potions, or by being healed by a Great Fairy and certain type of Fairies. The Magic Meter is drained when using Spells or certain items. Enemies such as Bubbles can drain Link's Magic Meter if they come into contact with him.

The Magic Meter can also be upgraded. Depending on the game, it can either be extended or its Magic Power consume rate decreased.

Hyrule Warriors
In, the Magic Gauge can only be filled by collecting Magic Jars, or when playing as Young Link, by pressing the Strong Attack button to play the "Song of Time." When it is full, Warriors can enter the Focus Spirit mode. In this mode, their attack, speed, and range are increased. Different bonuses are granted upon defeating certain number of enemies; reaching those thresholds also refills the Magic Meter slightly. These bonuses last as long as the Warrior is in Focus Spirit mode. When the gauge runs out, the Warrior automatically performs a powerful attack. Focus Spirit mode can also be ended prematurely by pressing the Special Attack button, which triggers an even stronger finishing move.
