Doc Bandam is a character from The Wind Waker who resides on Windfall Island.

Overview

Doc Bandam operates the Chu Jelly Juice Shop on Windfall Island, which sells a variety of potions. He descrbes his potions as being TOO good and claims they are absolutely incredible.[1] Doc will explain to Link what Chu Jelly is, describing it as a robustly nourishing element. A mystical substance that is good for the body and mind.[2] It is the key ingredient to making the most effective potions around. Doc will offer to sell Link a potion, but he must have an Empty Bottle.[3][4]

At first, his Potion Shop only sells Red Potion made from Red Chu Jelly, but if Link brings him 5 globs of Green Chu Jelly, he expands his product lineup and sells Green Potion as well, and he also gives Link a free sample. Similarly, when he obtains 15 globs of Blue Chu Jelly, he begins to sell Blue Potion as well. As before, Link gets a free sample.

While Doc will sell Red Potion for 20 Rupees, Link can also bring him regular red Chu Jelly. If Link gives him five jelly, he'll give Link a free serving, which will fill up a bottle.[5] He further tells Link that at any point, he can bring him five glops of jelly to get another free potion.[6]

He researches ChuChus most of his days in his shop, but frequently visits the neighboring Pawprint Isle to collect Chu Jelly in order to make his potions.
