It is described as a beautiful mirror which looks like it can absorb one into another world. Its primary use is in the [[Dark World]], where Link can look into it at any time to transport himself back to the light world of Hyrule. This is the only way Link could escape the Dark World. Aside for acting as an exit from the Dark World, using the mirror in certain areas could allow Link to reach normally out-of-reach areas of the light world. However, he would be instantly returned to the Dark World if he would be returned to a place where it would be impossible for him to stand due to gameplay mechanics. |

Most notably | + | *There have been several mirror items with similar functions (acting as portals to a dark world) in later games. Most notably is the [[Mirror of Twilight]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', which opens a portal to the [[Twilight Realm]] but could only be used from the light side. A [[Dark Mirror]] also appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', which does not seem to be direcly connected to that game's Dark World but still holds an imprisoned dark tribe and is used to produce [[Shadow Link]]s. The main thing seperating these mirrors from the Magic Mirror, aside from linking to different worlds, is that they are substantially larger mirrors, while the Magic Mirror is small enough to hold in the hand. |
*According to unused text for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Magic Mirror was planned to be included in the game at some point, but it was ultimately removed. | *According to unused text for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Magic Mirror was planned to be included in the game at some point, but it was ultimately removed. | ||
