"Medicine
Throughout Hyrule, there are merchants who sell Life Potion, or Medicine. There are three types of Medicine. The Red Medicine will boost Link's Life Meter. The Green Medicine will boost Link's Magic Meter. Finally, the Blue Medicine will boost both the Life and Magic Meters."
Potions are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. There are many different kinds and have all sorts effects on Link, usually restorative. Typically, they are consumed by drinking. In most games, these Potions must be held in a Bottle.
Recurring Potions
The Potions appear in multiple The Legend of Zelda games. They can be bought from stores for Rupees. Sometimes a skilled brewer will 'craft' them out of materials Link finds. Potions are very useful and can save Link from some pretty nasty situations. Very rarely, there will be a way to obtain free Potions, usually after completing some sort of side quest.

Unique Potions
These are Potions that are unique to two or fewer games in the series.

In The Wind Waker, after Link returns to Outset Island, he will find that Grandma has fallen ill with worry. Releasing a Fairy while standing next to her will revive her. Upon seeing Link, she'll be so happy that she'll cook up his favorite soup; the Elixir Soup, which fully heals Link's hearts, as well as doubles his attack power until he is hit. On top of all that, she stuffed the bottle so full that there is two servings of it in one bottle. Link can then obtain Elixir Soup anytime after he heals her just by talking to her with an empty bottle, as long as he doesn't already have a bottle with some of her soup in it.

Great Fairy's Tears are rather rare. One way to obtain it is by collecting twenty Poe Souls for Jovani. However, if Link manages to beat the entire Cave of Ordeals in the Gerudo Desert, he will be able to go to any of the Spirit's Springs and talk to the Great Fairy there to refill a bottle with it. She will only give it to Link if he has an empty bottle and no other bottles full of the tears.
