Magic Bean: Difference between revisions

'''Magic Beans''' are items in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. They allow [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] to find shortcuts and even [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]]. They can only be planted in [[Soft Soil]] locations.{{Ref|MM|58|In-Game Description}}

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Magic Beans can only be bought from the [[Bean Seller]] who first starts the price at 10 [[Rupee]]s, but from then on, he sells them for 10 rupees more than the previous price.{{Ref|OoT|1371|Bean Seller}} There are only ten Magic Beans available in this game; after that, the seller tells [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] that he is sold out.{{Ref|OoT|1385|Bean Seller}} The total cost for all ten beans is 460 rupees. The plants the beans create are used to find [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]], [[Gold Skulltula Token]]s, and shortcuts. Magic Beans can only be planted by Link as a child, but only as an adult can he use them, since it takes seven years for the plants to completely grow.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Magic Beans can be bought from not one, but two people. One of them is the Bean Seller, who can be found in the [[Deku Palace]]. He gives Link one sample for free, but he must pay after that.{{Ref|MM|1613-1614|Bean Seller}}

The other is a [[Business Scrub]] found in the [[Southern Swamp]]. He at first only sells them to [[Deku Scrub]]s, but after giving him the [[Town Title Deed]], he sells them to anyone in [[Clock Town]].{{Ref|MM|3349|Business Scrub}}{{Ref|MM|3360-3361|Business Scrub}} However, he refuses to let the client purchase them if they do not understand how the Magic Beans work, so Link must visit the Bean Seller first.{{Ref|MM|3355|Business Scrub}}

They cost 10 rupees at both locations.{{Ref|MM|1616|Bean Seller}}{{Ref|MM|3352|Business Scrub}} Magic Beans can be used to find secrets and are needed to complete the [[Swamp Spider House]]. In order to grow a Magic Bean, Link must water it - either by pouring [[Spring Water]] on it or by playing the [[Song of Storms]]; otherwise, it remains a sprout.{{Ref|MM|1619|Bean Seller}}
