In {{TWW}}, the Magic Armor appears as jewel or crystal, which resembles [[Spells of Ocarina of Time|the three spells]] from {{OoT}}. It is an optional item in the game that can be obtained after completing the [[Island Trading Sequence]].
When activated, a magical barrier will cover Link protecting him from any damage, similar to [[Spells of Ocarina of Time#Nayru's Love|Nayru's Love]]. The Magic Armor slowly drains Link's [[Magic Meter]] while active. In {{TWWHD}}, it consumes [[Rupee]]s when Link is hit. The Magic Armor will stop working once Link's Magic Meter is depleted or he runs out of Rupees. Link can activate the shield while sailing for protection from attacks during sea battles.<ref>{{cite|You got the Magic Armor!

In {{TP}}, 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.<ref>{{Cite|You got the magic armor! You bought it! You are smart!

The Magic Armor in {{TP}} serves the same purpose as in ''The Wind Waker'', but with the lack of a [[Magic Meter]], the Magic Armor drains Rupees for evey second it is equipped, or 12 Rupees when attacked. Once Link runs out of Rupees, the armor loses its color and becomes very heavy, causing Link to move as if equipped with the [[Iron Boots]], having the same effect of sinking in water.<ref>{{cite|You got the magic armor!

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, he will be sent flying off her.

====Obtaining the Magic Armor====

{{Improve|19 April 2014}}
The quest for the Magic Armor can be started after completing the [[Lakebed Temple]], and is completely optional.
Upon visiting [[Kakariko Village]], Link will find that the Gorons wish to sell their [[Hot Spring Water|spring water]] in [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. [[Gor Ebizo]] is reuniting funds in [[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 put to an end the difficult economic situation in Castle Town by purchasing [[Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium|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.

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]].
[[File:Revitalized_Goron.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Gor Liggs]]' son revitalized by [[Hot Spring Water]]]]
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.
Link will find that the bridge is now repaired, but the Goron who fixed it, Gor Liggs' son, becomes critically fatigued, and therefore cannot move in order to import [[Hot Spring Water]] to the town. After speaking to him, Link 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 cross the western field with the barrel, but numerous enemies, including [[Leever]]s and [[Bulblin]]s, will be there to hinder his progression; if Link is attacked, the barrel will burst, prompting the young hero 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.

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.
Afterwards, 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 are reserving it for the shop purchase. Had Link ignored aiding Gor Liggs' son, the money he would have needed would have been '''''2,000 Rupees'''''). After donating the remaining Rupees, the Emporium will be purchased. The young hero is now able to 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.
==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''The Wind Waker'', when Link is wearing the [[Hero's New Clothes]] during the [[Second Quest#The Wind Waker|Second Quest]], the Magic Armor, when equipped, will still show the outline of Link's hat even though he cannot be seen wearing it.<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]]|TWW}}</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.
*The Magic Armor in ''The Wind Waker'' resembles the three [[Spells of Ocarina of Time|spells]] received from the [[Great Fairy#Ocarina of Time|Great Fairies]] in ''Ocarina of Time'', as all four objects have the same basic appearance, a sphere inside a transparent diamond. In terms of function, the Magic Armor behaves nearly identically to [[Spells of Ocarina of Time#Nayru's Love|Nayru's Love]].
*In ''Twilight Princess'', the cost of the armor will vary depending on the wallet Link is carrying. The armor in itself will cost 598 Rupees; however, if Link receives the Giant Wallet upgrade from [[Agitha]], the armor will cost 998, just under what he can currently carry.

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.
