Evil Jar

The Evil Jar is a magical device used by Ganon in The Legend of Zelda cartoon series. In the series, it appears as a resting place for magical monsters after Link has defeated them. Presumably, this was done in order to reduce the amount of violence in the cartoon series, because enemies do not die if Link defeats them, they simply go back into the Evil Jar. The Evil Jar featured heavily in the plot of "The Missing Link" when Link's body was trapped inside of it but his incorporeal spirit remained outside. Despite ostensibly being a prison for his minions, Ganon's underlings have been able to break out of it quite easily, as in "The Moblins Are Revolting."
