    Yay
    What's a "giant" potion do that a regular one doesn't? (Ego potions???) It's the same encumbrance... does it provide twice the effect or something?

        Oh, nice, like the blue potion in the original Zelda game, or the yellow potion in Wind Waker... any way of telling how many "charges" it has left? Or does it turn into a regular potion when you use it the first time?
