Absence in Later Titles
A Magic Meter does not appear in.

This is further supported by the fact that a Green Chu Jelly can be obtained by merging a Blue and a Yellow Chuchu in the Wii version. Drinking the Green Chu Jelly will have no effect, as well as scooping it with an empty Bottle will result in no description of the Jelly. It was probably intended to be used to refill the Magic Meter.

SS undefined also lacks the magic meter. Although a Stamina Meter appears to measures Link's stamina when performing actions such as sprinting, rolling, climbing, and using Sword techniques. The Stamina Potion slows the depletion of the stamina meter.
