Link laughed a little. "The Zora and Goron shopkeepers do make a lot of rupees off of Hylians buying those."

His expression sobered. "I imagine a lot of people have died without magic. I mean, I'd be dead six ways to Sunday if it weren't for magic, between healing fairies and potions, not to mention weapons, tunics, and spells...."

The hero chewed his lip. "I mean...sure, it's really important to be able to do things without magic. You gotta be able to think on your feet, and be able to think of all kinds of solutions."

Link shrugged. "But, sometimes, you just have to fire a light arrow at something. No getting around it."
