The '''Magic Armor''' is a special barrier, in the form of magic or a tunic, that greatly reduces the amount of damage Link receives from enemies during battle. The Magic Armor has a catch though: in order for it to function properly, it must capitalize on the longevity of Link's magic meter, like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' or the amount of [[Rupee]]s Link has, like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.

====Obtaining the Magic Armor====
Upon visiting [[Kakariko Village]], Link will find that the [[Goron]]s wish to sell their [[Hot Spring Water]] in the [[Castle Town]]. Therefore, [[Gor Ebizo]] starts raising funds at [[Malo Mart]] in order to repair a bridge in {{Exp|GCN version; East in the Wii version|western}} [[Hyrule Field]], and with the help of [[Malo]] himself, wants to purchase [[Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium]].
The quest for the Magic Armor can be started after completing the [[Lakebed Temple]]. Upon visiting [[Kakariko Village]], Link can find [[Gor Ebizo]] in [[Malo Mart]] who wishes to reunite funds to repair a bridge that gave access to [[Hyrule Castle Town]] from western [[Hyrule Field]], which is important to resume the import of [[Hot Spring Water]] to said town. Gor Ebizo (with the help of [[Malo]] himself) wants to put to an end the difficult economic situation in Castle Town by purchasing the most luxurious and expensive shop to replace it with one having reasonably-priced products. He needs a total donation of 1,000 Rupees, which Link can provide through various partial donations ([[Wallet|unless he can donate that amount at once]]). After the donation, Link must talk to [[Gor Liggs]], who is outside Malo Mart, who will request that the young hero go to western Hyrule Field to see the progression of the bridge's repair.


Although a Goron manages to repair the bridge, he becomes critically fatigued, and therefore cannot bring [[Hot Spring Water]] to the town. If Link speaks to him, he will need to return to [[Kakariko Village]], where Gor Liggs will give him a [[barrel]] of Hot Spring Water to revitalize the fatigued Goron. Link must then crosses the western field with the barrel, but numerous enemies, including [[Leever]]s and [[Bulblin]]s, will be there to hinder his progression; and if something happens to the barrel, the young hero will have to return to Kakariko Village for another. Once he reaches the bridge, he can throw the barrel onto the Goron, who will quickly regain his strength and energetically begin importing the Hot Spring Water to Castle Town, leaving a [[Heart Container|Heart Piece]] in the process.
After donating 1,000 Rupees, the bridge will be repaired. However, the Goron who fixed it, Gor Liggs' son, becomes fatigued, and therefore cannot move in order to import Hot Spring Water to town. After speaking to him, Link must return to Kakariko Village, where Gor Liggs gives him a [[Barrel]] of Hot Spring Water to revitalize his son. Link must then cross the {{Exp|GCN version; East in the Wii version|western}} field with the Barrel while avoiding enemy attacks. If Link is successfully attacked, the Barrel will burst. Once Link reaches the bridge, he must throw the Barrel onto the Goron, who will regain his strength, leaving a [[Piece of Heart]] behind.


Afterward, Link must go back to Malo Mart in Kakariko Village to find that another monetary collection has been initiated; this time to buy out [[Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium]]. Fortunately, a mere 200 Rupees are required (this is because, thanks to the export of Hot Spring Water, both Malo and Gor Ebizo received a grand donation and they are reserving it toward the shop purchase. Had Link ignored aiding Gor Liggs's son, the money he would have needed would have been '''''2,000 Rupees'''''). If Link completes the donation, the final objective will be complete. The young hero can now go to Castle Town to find a branch of Malo Mart where the Emporium used to be. Inside, he can find various goods at reasonable prices, including the Magic Armor for 598 Rupees.
Afterwards, Link must go back to Malo Mart in Kakariko Village to find out that another monetary collection has been initiated; this time to buy Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium. After donating 2000 Rupees, the emporium will be purchased. Link is then able to go to the Castle Town to find a branch of Malo Mart where the emporium used to be. Inside, he can find various goods at reasonable prices, including the Magic Armor for 598 Rupees instead of the original 100,000.

==Trivia==
*In ''The Wind Waker'', after Link has finished the game and is wearing the [[Hero's New Clothes|normal island clothes]] for the second quest, the Magic Armor will still show the outline of Link's trademark hat even though he is not wearing it. Some theorize that this is the silhouette of the invisible "Hero's New Clothes".<ref>{{cite|Here you are, Link. Try these on! These are special clothes...made of a special fabric that only the honest can see!|[[Grandmother|Link's Grandmother]]|The Wind Waker}}</ref>
*In {{TWW|-}}, when Link is wearing the [[Hero's New Clothes]] during the [[Second Quest]], the Magic Armor, when equipped, will still show the outline of Link's hat, indicating that the clothes are indeed real, yet invisible.
*Interestingly, both Magic Armor sidequests (the trading sequence in ''The Wind Waker'' and the donations in ''Twilight Princess'') include the obtention of a Heart Piece; this may be to compensate for the high inversion of Rupees in the quests.

Magic Armors are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]

Location and Uses

The Wind Waker

The Magic Armor appears as jewel or crystal in The Wind Waker. It is an optional item that can be obtained from Zunari after completing part of the Island Trading Sequence.

When activated, a magical barrier covers Link, protecting him from any damage. The Magic Armor slowly drains Link's Magic Meter while active.[3] In The Wind Waker HD, it consumes Rupees when Link is hit.[4] The Magic Armor will stop working once Link's Magic Meter is depleted or he runs out of Rupees. Link can also activate the armor while sailing to protect himself from attacks during sea battles.

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, the Magic Armor drains 2 Rupees for every second it is equipped, or 12 Rupees when attacked. Once Link runs out of Rupees, the armor loses its color and becomes very heavy. This causes Link to move as if equipped with the Iron Boots, having the same effect of sinking in water.[5] If Link has the Magic Armor equipped and no Rupees, he will be unable to ride Epona. If Link runs out of Rupees while riding Epona, she will send Link flying off of her.

The quest for the Magic Armor can be started after completing the Lakebed Temple, and is completely optional.

Link purchasing the the Magic Armor at Malo Mart

Upon visiting Kakariko Village, Link will find that the Gorons wish to sell their Hot Spring Water in the Castle Town. Therefore, Gor Ebizo starts raising funds at Malo Mart in order to repair a bridge in western Hyrule Field, and with the help of Malo himself, wants to purchase Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium.

After donating 1,000 Rupees, the bridge will be repaired. However, the Goron who fixed it, Gor Liggs' son, becomes fatigued, and therefore cannot move in order to import Hot Spring Water to town. After speaking to him, Link must return to Kakariko Village, where Gor Liggs gives him a Barrel of Hot Spring Water to revitalize his son. Link must then cross the western field with the Barrel while avoiding enemy attacks. If Link is successfully attacked, the Barrel will burst. Once Link reaches the bridge, he must throw the Barrel onto the Goron, who will regain his strength, leaving a Piece of Heart behind.

Afterwards, Link must go back to Malo Mart in Kakariko Village to find out that another monetary collection has been initiated; this time to buy Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium. After donating 2000 Rupees, the emporium will be purchased. Link is then able to go to the Castle Town to find a branch of Malo Mart where the emporium used to be. Inside, he can find various goods at reasonable prices, including the Magic Armor for 598 Rupees instead of the original 100,000.

Trivia

  • In The Wind Waker, when Link is wearing the Hero's New Clothes during the Second Quest, the Magic Armor, when equipped, will still show the outline of Link's hat, indicating that the clothes are indeed real, yet invisible.
