Odd-parity magnets (OPMs) have emerged as a fundamental class of unconventional magnetism, characterized by time-reversal-preserving nonrelativistic spin splitting (NSS). Despite growing interest, the fundamental understanding of OPMs remains critically incomplete, as previous studies have focused exclusively on NSS while overlooking the intrinsically broken time-reversal symmetry ($\mathcal{T}$) inherent to magnetic order. In this Letter, we demonstrate that OPMs universally host a hidden Zeeman field rooted in this $\mathcal{T}$ breaking, which profoundly reshapes their band structure. Through an analytical study of an $f$-wave magnet model, we reveal that the NSS microscopically originates from an emergent gauge field, manifesting as a real-space spin loop-current order in this model. Crucially, the large NSS (eV scale) enables conventional superconductivity to coexist robustly with the hidden Zeeman field, with the Zeeman splitting reaching hundreds of meV. This unique band structure establishes OPMs as an ideal platform for topological superconductors (TSCs), supporting large topological regions. Based on OPMs, we engineer a series of TSCs hosting distinct Majorana boundary modes, including unidirectional Majorana edge states. Our Letter corrects a fundamental misconception about OPMs and establishes them as a versatile platform for field-free and robust TSCs.
