'''Red Potion''' is an reoccurring item in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It has the ability of healing [[Link]]'s [[Recovery Heart|hearts]]. Usually it must be held in a [[Bottle]] and can be found in [[Potion Shop (Disambiguation)|Potion Shops]].

==Appearances==

===The Legend of Zelda===

The Red Potion is known as the [[2nd Potion]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It can be obtained by giving the [[Letter]] from the [[Old Man]] to the [[Old Woman]] who sells [[potion]]s. Link can then buy it for 68 [[Rupee]]s. The Red Potion heals all Link's hearts and can be used twice. After it is used once, it turns into [[Water of Life]] that heals all his hearts but only can be used once. When Link uses all the potion up, the [[Bottle]] disappears.

===A Link to the Past===

The Red Potion restores all of Link's hearts in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. It can be bought at the [[Magic Shop]] for 120 Rupees.

===Majora's Mask===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Red Potion can be bought from [[Kotake]] in the [[Magic Hags' Potion Shop]], the [[Trading Post]], the [[Zora Shop]], and the [[Goron Shop]]. Kotake will give Link a free bottle of Red Potion to heal the injured [[Koume]] in the [[Woods of Mystery]]. The Red Potion can be given to [[Shiro]], and in return he will give Link the [[Stone Mask]]. Additionally, Red Potion can be used to cure the curse that [[Blue Bubble]]s put on Link. Otherwise, Red Potion has the same effect as in ''Ocarina of Time''.

The Red Potion must be made with [[Chu Jelly]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. Link can take jelly from a [[Red ChuChu]] to the [[Chu Jelly Juice Shop]] on [[Windfall Island]] to make it. It restores all of his hearts.

The Red Potion can be bought from [[Syrup]] in [[Minish Woods]] for 150 rupees. However, the Red Potion must be unlocked first before it can be purchased. To unlock this, [[Link]] must fuse [[Kinstone]]s with the [[Minish|Forest Picori]] in [[South Hyrule Field]]. The Red Potion will fill all of Link's hearts, unlike the [[Blue Potion]], which only fills eight.

===Twilight Princess===

Unlike in previous games, the Red Potion in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' only restores eight hearts instead of all of them. It can be bought and held in a bottle. A similar item is [[Chu Jelly]], which also restores eight hearts but is instead found from [[Chu]]s.

===Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks===

In both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', the Red Potion only restores six hearts. Like all potions in those games, it does not need to be held in a bottle. It can be purchased from various shops across the world, such as from [[Beedle]].

===A Link Between Worlds===
