'''Magic''' is a powerful supernatural force occurring in [[Hyrule]] and other worlds that appear in {{TLoZ|Series}}. Magic allows its users to override the world's laws of nature and physics for their own ends, be they benevolent (protect, heal, save) or malevolent (kill, destroy, wound). Magic-users, also called wizards or sorcerers, have the potential to control, manipulate or influence reality. However, the properties, origins and general understandings of magic remain unknown or uncertain.

It is known that the higher entities that preside over magic in the Hyrulean realm are the Golden Goddesses.[citation needed]

With the addition of the Book of Magic these beams can be enhanced to leave flames in their wake.[2] Unlike later games, the usage of magic isn't regulated by a metre or stamina. Multiple other items, namely the Magical Sword, Magical Shield, Magical Boomerang and Magical Key, are implied to be bespelled in some manner.

The Adventure of Link

Known magic-users
