The Mad Batter is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. A seemingly insane bat-demon, the Mad Batter is often imprisoned in magical fountains for causing trouble. The Mad Batter can be released from imprisonment by sprinkling Magic Powder on his "prison." Immediately upon release, the Mad Batter threatens to curse Link for releasing him. In truth, the "revenge" that the Mad Batter exacts is always beneficial for Link.
