Great Fairy: Difference between revisions

The Great Fairies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' have many fountains across [[Hyrule]]. They will fully heal Link whenever he comes to one of their springs.

The Great Fairies of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' can do more than just heal Link. They will often bestow more powerful items upon him, usually only after Link has thrown something into their fountain. A [[Cursed Fairy|Cursed Great Fairy]] lives in the [[Pyramid of Power]], and she will grant Link the [[Silver Arrow]] and the [[Golden Sword]].<br>

The Fairy Queen, [[Venus]], also has a spring known as the [[Pond of Happiness]]. She can increase the amount of [[arrow]]s and [[bomb]]s that Link can hold if he throws [[rupee]]s into her fountain.

[[File:GreatFairy queen LA.gif‎]] The Great Fairies of this game heal Link if he manages to find their springs that are hidden across [[Koholint Island]]. The [[Fairy Queen]] is found in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|DX Version]] of the game in the [[Color Dungeon]]. She will give Link the "power of color", allowing him to swap his green tunic out for a [[Red Tunic|red]] or [[Blue Tunic|blue]] one. These boost his offensive and defensive power respectively. Despite her title, the Fairy Queen looks identical to all of the Great Fairies.

There are a total of six locations where Link can find Great Fairies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. Each one can only be found at their Fairy Fountain, where they will grant Link a new spell or ability if he plays [[Zelda's Lullaby]].

The Great Fairy of Power lives on top of [[Death Mountain]] in a cave that can only be accessed using bombs. She will teach Link how to charge the [[Spin Attack]] with magic.

The Great Fairy of Wisdom can be reached only after Link obtains the [[Megaton Hammer]] in the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]]. He can then use the hammer to destroy the rocks in front of her fountain in [[Death Mountain Crater]]. She doubles Link's [[Magic Meter]]

The Great Fairy of Courage is found very late in the game, once Link obtains the [[Golden Gauntlets]]. He can use them to lift the huge rock outside of [[Ganon's Castle]] to reach the fountain, where this Great Fairy will enhance his defensive power by halving the amount of damage he takes.

Interestingly enough, the Great Fairy of Magic appears in three different locations and gives Link three magic spells. She can first be found behind a rock in [[Hyrule Castle]] by using the bombs, where she will give him [[Din's Fire]]. Then a wall in [[Zora's Fountain]] can be exploded, where she will give Link [[Farore's Wind]]. Finally, she is behind a wall in near an oasis by the [[Desert Colossus]], just outside the [[Haunted Wasteland]], where she will grant Link [[Nayru's Love]].

The five Great Fairies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' were shattered by the [[Skull Kid]] using the power of [[Majora's Mask|the mask]]. If Link manages to gather up all of their [[Stray Fairy|Stray Fairies]], then they will return to their true, whole form and reward him. Some rewards are enhancements to Link's magical abilities, increased defence, or a new [[sword]].

The Great Fairy of Magic is the only fairy required to rescue in order to complete the game. Link and [[Tatl]] first visit her while Link is a [[Deku Scrub]], hoping that she can help them. After they find her last Stray Fairy wandering around [[Clock Town]], she returns to normal and she gives Link the ability to shoot bubbles in his Deku form, although it consumes magic.

If Link returns in his [[Hylian]] form, she will bestow the [[Great Fairy's Mask]] upon him.

The Great Fairy of Power lives in the [[Woodfall]] area, near the [[Woodfall Temple]]. If Link gathers the stray fairies inside of that temple, she will teach him how to do a more powerful Spin Attack, although it takes up Magic Power.

The Great Fairy of Wisdom can be found in her fountain in the [[Snowhead]] region, under the entrance to [[Snowhead Temple]]. Once she is reunited with the missing Stray Fairies from the temple, she will double Link's Magic Meter.

The Great Fairy of Courage is found in [[Zora Cape]] area after jumping across some rocks and using the [[Hookshot]] to reach it. If Link brings the stray fairies from [[Great Bay Temple]], she will double his defense, and any damage Link takes will be reduced by half.

The Great Fairy of Kindness lives in [[Ikana Canyon]]. If Link gathers the stray fairies in [[Stone Tower Temple]] and brings them to her fountain, she will give him the [[Great Fairy's Sword]].

[[File:Great Fairy of Forest.png]] The Great Fairy of Forest meets the players at the end of the [[Sea of Trees]], where she will reward the Links with a key, depending on how well they did.<br>

[[File:Great Fairy of Flame.png]]The Great Fairy of Flame meets the players at the end of the [[Death Mountain]], where she will reward the Links with a key, depending on how well they did.<br>

[[File:Great Fairy of Ice.png]] The Great Fairy of Ice meets the players at the end of the [[Talus Cave]], where she will reward the Links with a key, depending on how well they did.

[[File:Great_Fairy_WW.png‎]]In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Great Fairies live in one of the springs the [[Great Sea]], such as the one on [[Outset Island]], or in one of the five [[Fairy Islands]]: [[Fairy Islands#Northern Fairy Island|Northern Fairy Island]], [[Fairy Islands#Southern Fairy Island|Southern Fairy Island]], [[Fairy Islands#Western Fairy Island|Western Fairy Island]], [[Fairy Islands#Eastern Fairy Island|Eastern Fairy Island]], and [[Fairy Islands#Thorned Fairy Island|Thorned Fairy Island]]. They usually give Link the ability to carry more of bombs, arrows or money. One Great Fairy was consumed by a [[Big Octo]], and if Link defeats it, she will double his Magic Meter.

[[File:FSA-Great-Fairy.gif]] In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'' Link can encounter a Great Fairy in certain stages, usually in a cave or dungeon. If Link throws a certain item into the pond below the Great Fairy she will upgrade it to a Level 2 item. Encountering a Great Fairy is often crucial to completing puzzles and the stage itself.  

[[File:Great_Fairy_MC.gif]]There are three Great Fairies: [[Great Butterfly Fairy|Butterfly]], [[Great Mayfly Fairy|Mayfly]], and [[Great Dragonfly Fairy|Dragonfly]]. If Link passes their individualized tests, they will reward him with the ability to carry more [[Rupee]]s, [[Bomb]]s, and [[Arrow]]s respectively.

There is only one Great Fairy in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and she resides inside the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. She can be found on every tenth floor, e.g. tenth floor, twentieth floor, etc. Upon reaching her every 10 floors, she releases regular fairies to one of the [[Light Spirit]]s' springs. Upon reaching the last level, she gives Link a [[Bottle]] with her [[Great Fairy's Tears|tears]] in it, and promises to give more whenever he runs out at any Light Spirit spring. Link can only carry one bottle full of Great Fairy's Tears at a time. Additionally, once Link has reached the final floor, she will congratulate him, and then say that people are in need of his powers above the surface. She will then send him to one of the four [[Spirit's Spring]]s.

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors|Hyrule Warriors]]'' the great fairy must be summoned several times throughout legend mode in order to aid Link and his allies in battle. Through Adventure Mode, The Great Fairy can be unlocked as a weapon for Link in which she keeps him in a bottle.
