In many battles, the magic fire which Link shoots from the tip of his sword will give him the edge.

Nintendo Power, January/February 1989 (Nintendo of America, 1989), p. 20

Fireballs shoot from Link's sword. A fireball's attack power is the same as Link's ATTACK level at the time.

When you swing your sword with the B Button, a fireball flies from its tip and takes out enemies. But it does not work on some enemies, and you will not use it much. Handy to have, more or less!?

リンクの冒険 (秋田書店, 1987), p. 8, 101Leafy's translation

A spell that lets you throw fireballs from the tip of your sword. The fireballs pass right through enemies. It is tremendously strong against small fry, but some strong enemies are not hurt by it. Learn it in the town of Nabooru.

リンクの冒険 (実業之日本社, 1987), p. 9, 101Leafy's translation

Fire comes out of the tip of your sword. But it does nothing to strong enemies, and it is useless against knight-type foes such as the Iron Knuckles. A lasting spell.
