| | {{Manual|ALttP|Magical Mirror|You can use this mirror to escape from the Dark World to the Light World. The portal that is created can also be used as a gate back to into the Dark World. But be warned. If the place where you reappear in the Light World is a place where you cannot normally go (such as the inside of a wall) you will be forced back into the Dark World. Note that the mirror will also return you to the entrance when used in the dungeon. The Magical Mirror cannot be used in a house or cave.}} |
| The '''Magic Mirror''' is an item given to [[Link]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' when he travels to [[Death Mountain]]. He acquires the mirror by helping the lost [[Old Man]] find his way to the safe house on the mountain. Link is able to use this magical mirror to travel from the [[Dark World]] back to the [[Light World]]. Once returned to the Light World, he can go back to the Dark World by touching the sparkling "X" point that appears where he returned to the Light World. This "X" can also be located by using the map. The mirror is essential to getting to the [[Tower of Hera]], the third dungeon in ''A Link to the Past''. | | The Magic Mirror is given to [[Link]] after helping the [[Lost Old Man]] find his way to the safe house in [[Death Mountain]].

| One more function of the Magic Mirror is that it can warp [[Link]] back to the beginning of any dungeon if he uses it while inside. This is comparable to the the function on [[Manbo's Mambo]] in ''Link's Awakening''.

| [[File:DarkMirror_FSA.png|left]] The Dark Mirror makes its first and only appearance in the the [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures|Four Sword Adventures]].

| When first mentioned by Dampé, the mirror is revealed to have sealed away a dark tribe a long time ago. The Mirror was then hidden away in a [[Temple of Darkness|temple]] in the Forest of Light, in order to seal it away from the world.<ref>{{cite|Legends speak of a mirror in which a dark tribe was sealed away long ago.

| Upon inspecting the [[Temple of Darkness]], it comes to Links and the maidens knowlegde that the mirror had been stolen. They belive it to be Vaati doing, but clues of the culprit, Deku Scrubs chanting the name [[Ganon]], brings them to the desert. <ref>{{cite|We still have no clear idea of who stole the mirror.

| ===Connections to the Mirror of Twilight===
| |
| The Dark Mirror shares some common elements with a more famous mirror, namely the [[Mirror of Twilight]]. Both mirrors sealed away a dark tribe in the ancient days.
| |
| There is also some similarity in the evil inducing nature the mirrors has on its enviroment. Altough the Dark Mirrors spawns evil Shadow Links, while the [[Mirror of Twilight]] seem to possess people and things, like [[Yeta]].
| |
| Although there is an interesting allusion in [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]], where the Dark Tribe makes an cameo appears as Shadow Links, in [[Lanayru (Spirit)|Lanaryus]] tale of them.
| |
| | |
| The appearance of the two mirrors as round with a golden frame is also a similar attribute. Although its hard to ascertain just how similar their physical appearance are, because of the graphical differences between [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures|Four Sword Adventures]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]].
| |
| | |
| As for whether the mirrors were actually meant potray the same mirror, is a matter of much dispute in the Zelda communities. Some deem it impossible, as [[Midna]] in [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]] destroys the Mirror of Twilight at the end of the game. Others sees this as evidence that Four Sword Adventures does not occur after the Twilight Princess.
