(Hyrule Warriors no longer calls it a Bible in Japanese and uses the English name, though this may have been the intent back in 1994. I'm also not sure if the FSA book is supposed to be the same, but the name used in Hyrule Warriors is basically the same so I'll add it too.) |

History
The Legend of Zelda
Link can obtain the Book of Magic at the bottom-left room of the Lion labyrinth. In the Second Quest, the Book of Magic was relocated to the Level-4 labyrinth. The Book of Magic serves as an extension to the Magical Rod, causing the rod to emit fire after its beam hits an object or enemy. The fire can even light up dark rooms in a labyrinth and attack enemies.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, a magic book appears as an event item in the Village of the Blue Maiden. The player must give to it Iris in the Dark World, who left it behind with her teacher. It is said to be heavier than it looks and thus requires lifting with both hands. After obtaining the book, she will be able to use one of its spells to return to the normal world.
Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, the 8-Bit Book of Magic was added in the Master Quest Pack DLC. It is classified as a Book of Sorcery used by Lana, and is an equivalent to the Sorceress Tome. It does not reappear in Hyrule Warriors Legends, but returns in Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, where it aethetically replaces the Tome of the Night in the 8-Bit Weapons setting.

Trivia
- The Famicom cartridge version of The Legend of Zelda, despite retaining the name "Bible" in Japanese, has "Book of Magic" written underneath in English during the "all of treasures" sequence. This may be due to it being based on the NES release. Additionally, Hyrule Warriors no longer refers to it as a Bible in Japanese and instead is based on the English localization, even modifying the symbol on the book slightly to look less like the Christian cross. This also extends to the shield that comes with the 8-Bit Wooden Sword as well as the game's rendition of the Magical Shield.
