Link's Awakening

Normal potions do not appear in Link's Awakening because there are no bottles. However, Link can buy the Secret Medicine from Crazy Tracy. It will automatically restore his hearts if he dies.

After being defeated, the souls of Poes can be caught in a bottle in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Its effect is random and can either harm Link or heal him.

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 fully heals Link's hearts, as well as doubles his attack power until Link is hit. On top of all that, she stuffed the bottle so full that there's two helpings 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.

In Twilight Princess, Link can obtain Great Fairy's Tears as a reward for various sidequests. It has similar effects to the Elixir Soup in The Wind Waker: fully healing Link and doubling attack power for a short while. However, there is only one serving available in each bottle, rather than two.
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 Spirits' Springs and talk to the Great Fairy there to refill a bottle with it. She will only give it to him if he has an empty bottle and no other bottles full of the tears.
