The Water of Life[1], also written as the Water of life[2], is a health-restoring item which appears in some earlier The Legend of Zelda titles, starting with The Legend of Zelda. It also appears in the Philips CD-i titles Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon. In later games, it is replaced by the Red Potion.
History
The Legend of Zelda
In The Legend of Zelda, the water of life is featured in both blue and red. From the intro, they are respectively known as the Life Potion and 2nd Potion. When used, the Water of life fully restores Link's health. The Life Potion only has a one-time use while the 2nd Potion can be used twice: when Link first uses the 2nd Potion, it changes back into a Life Potion. If Link has a Life Potion and purchases another, it turns into a 2nd Potion.
Link can only acquire water of life from the old women in the various caves, after he obtains the Letter. He can purchase the Life Potion for 40 Rupees and the 2nd Potion for 68 Rupees.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Link can no longer consume the water of life. Instead, its role is as a quest item for town folk. In the Harbor Town of Mido, an old woman wants the water of life to cure her daughter's sickness. The water of life can be retrieved from a cave in Moruge Swamp that requires the Hammer to enter. If given to the mother, she will allow Link to enter her house and learn the Fairy spell from the town's wise man. In this appearance, it resembles a 2nd Potion.
Link: The Faces of Evil / Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
In Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, the water of life can be obtained either out in the open or by interacting with certain characters. By default, the water of life refills all hearts on the spot; however, if the player has a Canteen, the water of life will be collected in it for later use. In this appearance, it resembles a Life Potion.
Zelda's Adventure
In Zelda's Adventure, water of life is usable once per purchase and can be bought from various merchants. It is represented by a blue phial with a black crown-shaped symbol on it.
