Medicine of Life: A blood red potion that restores Links hearts completely. This is a great placeholder for any potion you would need. You could also add various colors to make it more specific.
The fairy market opens its doors for nine days every nine years. People and creatures from every corner of this world and many others come to the massive market to trade in all sorts of food from the mundane to the truly unique. They say one can find anything they desire in the fairy market if they know where to look. That includes more time. A seemingly ageless alchemist offers an elixir of life that adds ten years to a person’s life with one sip and fifty years to their life if they drink the entire potion. The potions are sold in a silent auction on the last day of the market and never to anyone who purchased a potion at the last market.
Medicine of Magic: A pea green potion that completely fills Link’s magic bar. This is a good placeholder for less wholesome fluids like necrotic purple ichors or flammable tar.
The jar before you contains the purest spring water infused with pure magical potential. Any person who drinks the mixture is briefly saturated with magical energy, improving any mages’ natural abilities and allowing even the most inept persons to conjure basic spells. The drink has earned the moniker Witch Sweat from its foul taste. Witches often bristle at the implication.
Medicine of Life and Magic: A blue potion that miraculously refills Link’s health and magic completely. This is a great image if you need to represent a bottle of salad dressing that hasn’t been shaken in ages.
Few mortals have an aura of note. They are rarely in tune with the fundamental forces of the universe for their aura’s to display their personal maxims. For individuals from more metaphysically active planes, such as the crystalline halls of Laeghalla, their auras loudly broadcast their heritage for any with the aptitude to see. A diabolical thief first created this potion to mask their aura so that they might infiltrate places warded against devils. This potion is made up of two diametrically opposed forces that must be mixed by shaking the potion before drinking. The natural aura is disrupted by the mixture of opposing forces but the bowels are often just as disturbed.
Bee: Bees are enemies that can be captured in a bottle and released later when they will hopefully attack other enemies on the screen rather than Link.
Some cultures describe love as the strike of a magic arrow. An enterprising enchanted has not yet perfected an arrow of love, but they have created a wasp of hate. One sting from this wasp and the victim will loathe the next person they see. The enchanter has developed a lucrative scheme where, after they sell the hateful wasps, they offer an expensive cure to victims of the sting that now hate their loved ones.
Golden bee: Originally called the good bee, Link must tame the bee by catching it in the Ice Cavern containing the Ice rod. I’m not sure entirely about the connection between golden bee and ice cavern.
Hanging from a sugar coated bee is a tag promising the ability to summon up swarms of insects to torment your enemies. The shopkeeper declines to inform customers that this swarm comes from a nest of stinging insects that infest your hands until you can be cleansed of this double edged boon.
Fairy: These fairies restore Link to full health automatically when he is knocked out. As a kid I always imagined the fairies as friendly towards Link but not that I think about the fact that he holds them hostage until he needs their magic, I’m not sure.
This fairy is not for sale. It is bound in servitude to a hateful hag that trades in dreams and wishes. The hag opens their stand in the dodgy end of the market where only the purveyors of strange esoterica do business. When working in the hag’s shop, the fairy is held by an unbreakable silver chain that is as light as a feather. When the stall is closed, the fairy is kept in a glass bottle hung on the hag’s belt. The hag is quick to tell anyone that much of their work is fueled by the souls of those foolish enough to try to steal the fairy.

No new cards next week. I will be publishing the collected file with all the item cards from A Link to the Past.
As always, use my work personally however you feel, but don’t profit off my efforts without my consent.
Be excellent to everyone.
