Talk:Fairy

This article has been severely editted due to inaccuracy on the part of its creator. Remember, the little critters you catch in bottles are not faires. Look in the potion shop in OoT, and you'll find that they are referred to as fairies' spirits.

Varieties of fairy
So if a "Fairy Fountain" describes the locations of places where you can gather lots of small fairies, and if a "Great Fairy Fountain" describes places where you can find a "Great Fairy" who gives you power-ups and such like, where's the information on the locations where one large fairy will restore your health (for example, the one in the Mysterious Woods in Link's Awakening 17:28, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit: okay, I think there's some inconsistency here. From looking at the Great Fairy Fountain page, you'd think that the guys in question are not Great Fairies, but from looking at the Great Fairy page, they are. I feel like one of those articles needs a bit of work - but which one? 22:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Huuuuum, I'm not sure I understand what exactly you're talking about, Petenu. I pretty much revamped both the Great Fairy Fountain and Fairy Fountain pages, so if you feel something's wrong with them, don't hesitate to tell me so that I can go fix them up right away! :) Dany36 05:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm not being totally clear. If you look through the Great Fairy article, specifically in the sections that are divided up by game, there are plenty of references to the HOGFs (healing-only great fairies). In the Great Fairy Fountain article, there seems to be a bias towards the UOGF (upgrade-only great fairies) and fewer mentions of the HOGFs.
 * There seems to be a huge amount of duplication between the two articles. Would it be crazy of me to suggest merging Great Fairy Fountain into Great Fairy? 07:07, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Also on the topic of different types of faries I believe the ball of light faeries are a completely different race called spirits. This is supported by the fairy spirits in Ocrina of Time's potion shop, the season spirits, and the spirits in phantom hourglass. 02:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That bit could go in the Theory section of the page, but nowhere else, as it is pure "belief" not based in undenaible fact. =) 05:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * It is, however, a deniable fact due the clarification (or several clarifications) in Oot that they were spirits. --Stalkid 13:48, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone should check if the ball of lights are called Fairies sometimes in-game or if they are always called Fairy Spirits. I think they are only called Fairy Spirits because they are only named in the Potion Shop. Jeangabin 19:25, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it seems that the ball of light are always called fairy's spirit in-game. Jeangabin 10:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Ball of light?
I thought that it was mentioned (or at least hinted) that the ball of light fairies were just human fairies that were surrounded in a bright aura. If they were just a ball of light, what would their wings attach to?--Stalkid 13:46, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
