Portal
Type Utility Magical Item
Fields Travel
Cost 25 rupees

A Portal can appear in one of many forms; a swirling vortex of black mist, a staircase, a massive gate with a door composed of golden fluid, a small hole in the ground, a glowing circle, a mere piece of peculiar tile with the image of diamond-shapes cascading outward, or something else entirely. However, all Portals are magically-created objects which are anchored to the ground, and intended to be used to travel large distances quickly. There must be at least two Portals in a set to function. Simply put, any matter which goes through one will almost instantly come out the other, even if the two Portals are countless miles apart, or even in separate dimensions. However, Portals must be static to function properly and cannot simply be carried around. Portals not of the same set cannot function together.

When the user gains this treasure, he finds or places a Portal at his current location, or any one location he later visits. The designated location can never be changed without acquiring this treasure again. If the user only has one Portal, it will not be able to teleport to any other Portal, so it will have no effect. Thus, at least two Portals are needed to provide any effect.

If Portals have more than two in their set, the Portals are assigned an order. In an example with three Portals, anything which goes into Portal A comes out Portal B; if something enters Portal B, it comes out Portal C; and if something enters Portal C, it comes out Portal A.

Trivia

  • A Mini-Portal is a much smaller, but portable version of a Portal.
  • The more costly Major treasure, Portal Bracers, enables the user to create up to two portals at will. These portals only function over short distances, however.
  • The Portal treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in The Legend of Zelda. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
