Fairy

Fairies are very small creatures that can fly and have healing powers. In some The Legend of Zelda games they take the form of small orbs of light with four wings, while in others they take the form of tiny winged humans. Some fairies are assigned to Kokiri as their partners by the Great Deku Tree, while others stay in Fairy Fountains and wait for weary travelers. In most Zelda games, small fairies can be captured in a small bottle for later use. If you fall in battle while carrying a bottled fairy it will come out to aid you.



Companions

 * In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link is assisted by Navi, who helps keep him on track by reminding him where to go. She also helps him target objects and enemies, and can provide information about enemies.
 * In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Navi is replaced by Tatl, a new fairy who serves the same purpose as his previous fairy.
 * In the Wii version of Twilight Princess, Link has a fairy companion, but it has absolutely no part in the story whatsoever and is there for the sole purpose of following the Wii Remote's movements.
 * In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Link is obtains a companion fairy which he did not have in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, her name is Ciela. Two other fairies also come to his aid, each one representing one of the goddesses (courage, power, wisdom) and give Link a unique power when equipped.
