Syrup

is a recurring character in the. She is an old witch who brews NaN Potions and sells them to Series: on his adventures. Series: is always found in or around her Witch's Hut, where she sells her potions, and is always stirring a cauldron filled with some concoction. Series: often has an apprentice named Series:, who is also her granddaughter. Series: runs errands for TMC:, who never leaves the shop. Despite this, TMC: seems to be rather unappreciative of her apprentice.

Syrup appears for the first time in, just outside her Magic Shop near Zora's River, where she sells her Red, Green, and Blue Potions. Maple serves as the shopkeeper for the potion shop, but only in the Game Boy Advance version of the game (a Hooded Shopkeeper is found in her place in the original version). Syrup herself will be stirring her "mushroom brew". Link can give her the Magic Mushroom he found in the Lost Woods to help her complete her brew, the final product being Magic Powder. When Link returns to the Magic Shop, he can pick up the Magic Powder held by the apprentice.

In, Syrup lives inside her Hut on the Koholint Prairie. She will make Link some Magic Powder once he gives her the Sleepy Toadstool he found in the Mysterious Woods. She will also teach Link how to use the Powder. Syrup will replenish Link's supply Magic Powder whenever needed, so long as he provides more Toadstools.

Syrup resides in the Sunken City in. To reach her hut, it must be winter in the city, as the Snow creates a slope leading to the otherwise inaccessible rise on which the hut is built. At first, Syrup will not have anything on sale in her shop, as she does not have the ingredients to make her Magic Potion. However, as part of the OoS:, Link must trade her the Mushroom he obtained from Talon atop Mount Cucco in exchange for her Wooden Bird. With the mushroom, Syrup is able to make her Magic Potion, allowing her to open her shop.

In, her hut is located in the north-eastern corner of the Yoll Graveyard in the present. The hut is inaccessible without the Flippers. The Magic Potion Link obtains from Syrup can be used to cure the King Zora of his illness, saving his life and ultimately allowing him to enter Jabu-Jabu's Belly, the next-to-last dungeon of the game.

TMC: appears in, selling NaN Blue Potions in the TMC: in the TMC:. She will also sell NaN Red Potions once TMC: has TMC: NaN Kinstones with the TMC: living in the southwest corner of TMC:. TMC: must buy a TMC: from her in order to wake up TMC:, the shoe salesman in TMC:. TMC: will then make TMC: the TMC:, allowing him to cross the TMC:.
