Magic Jar

Magic Jars (also known as Magic Containers) are a reoccurring item that have appeared since The Adventure of Link. They are used to replenish Magic Power, which is consumed while using certain magic items, magic attacks, and magic abilities. In essence, the magic jars have the exact same function as Magic Potions, but are not sold in town shops. They are most commonly found by breaking jars, cutting grass, or killing enemies. The jars appear in various shapes, colors, and sizes depending on the game.

Red and Blue Jars
Magic Jars in The Adventure of Link come in two colors. The most common jar, blue magic jars, are often dropped by defeated enemies and recover a small portion of magic power. Red magic jars are much harder to find and are usually hidden in certain areas of Hyrule's overworld. The red magic jars recover more of Link's magic power.

The Magic Container increases the maximum magic power Link can have. These large, red magic jars, like Heart Containers, will disappear from their location once obtained. The jar will add another square to Link's overall Magic Meter.

Green Jars
The most consistent form of the magic jars, found in A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask, are the green decanters. They can be large and small, representing the amount of magic refilled. A large decanter, known as a Magic Jar, completely refills the Magic Meter. A small decanter, referred to as a Magic Potion, restores it by one eighth.

Tan Jars
The Wind Waker continues the two-bottle tradition, but with slight changes. The large decanter still refills a sizable portion of the Magic Meter, but does not completely refill it. Both of the magic bottles change from their characteristic green color to tan bottles with brown designs.
