Most Fairies are small creatures with healing powers, and they usually fly by means of delicate, insect-like wings. Their appearances vary from game to game: in some games, such as {{OoT}}, they resemble small orbs of light with four wings, while in others they take the form of tiny, winged humanoid females.

==Overview==
{{ImageCaption|image=File:Navi.png|size=100px|align=right|caption=Navi, a Fairy from ''Ocarina of Time''|captionalign=center}}
{{ImageCaption|image=File:OoT Navi Model.png|size=100px|align=right|caption=Navi, a Fairy from {{OoT|-}}|captionalign=center}}
Fairies usually have one of two roles in the ''Zelda'' games. Most Fairies possess healing powers; they can restore some of [[Link]]'s health when he is wounded. From {{ALttP}} onwards, these Fairies can usually be caught in empty [[Bottle]]s for later use. If Link falls in battle while carrying a Bottled Fairy, it will automatically come out to revive him. Groups of Fairies can be commonly found in [[Fairy Fountain]]s scattered through the land, although some may also occasionally be found by breaking [[Jar]]s or cutting grass. In some games such as ''A Link to the Past'', [[Whisp|Anti-Fairies]] and [[Spark]]s can be turned into Fairies by using [[Magic Powder]] or the [[Boomerang]]. In {{SS}}, Fairies can be summoned by drawing the [[Triforce]] on a [[Goddess Wall]].
{{Plural|Series|Fairy}} usually have one of two roles in the series. Most {{Plural|Series|Fairy}} possess healing powers; they can restore some of {{Term|Series|Link|link}}'s {{Plural|Series|Heart|link}} when he is wounded. From {{ALttP}} onwards, these {{Plural|Series|Fairy}} can usually be caught in {{Plural|Series|Empty Bottle|link}} for later use. If {{Term|Series|Link}} falls in battle while carrying a bottled {{Term|Series|Fairy}}, it will automatically come out to revive him. Groups of {{Plural|Series|Fairy}} can be commonly found in {{Plural|Series|Fairy Fountain|link}} scattered through the land, although some may also occasionally be found by breaking {{Plural|Series|Jar|link}} or cutting grass. In some games such as {{ALttP|-}}, {{Plural|Series|Bubble|link}} and {{Plural|Series|Spark|link}} can be turned into {{Plural|Series|Fairy}} by using {{Term|Series|Magic Powder|link}} or the {{Term|Series|Boomerang|link}}. In {{SS}}, {{Plural|SS|Fairy}} can be summoned by drawing the {{Term|Series|Triforce|link}} on a {{Term|SS|Goddess Wall|link}}. In {{BotW}} and {{TotK}}, {{Term|TotK|Link}} is able to pick them up and store them despite the lack of {{Plural|Series|Bottle}}, though he needs to {{Term|Series|Stealth|link|display=sneak}} up on them to avoid detection.


The second role held by ''Zelda'' Fairies is that of a [[Fairy Companion|traveling companion]]. In several games, beginning with {{OoT}}, Link has been accompanied on his travels by Fairy companions. Although in many cases they are used to facilitate gameplay (allowing [[Targeting System|Z-Targeting]], for example), they also provide invaluable advice on what to do next or how to defeat certain enemies. In other games, such as {{PH}}, companion Fairies also serve as the cursor for guiding Link.

In ''Ocarina of Time'', every [[Kokiri]] is partnered with such a guardian Fairy. The fact that Link is the only Kokiri without a Fairy (before [[Navi]] is assigned as his partner by the [[Great Deku Tree]]) is a major plot point and foreshadows the revelation that he is actually a [[Hylian]] child. In {{MM}}, the [[Skull Kid#Majora's Mask|Skull Kid]] had Fairy companions in [[Tatl]] and [[Tael]]. Tatl gets separated from them, and travels with Link to get his Hylian form back and to stop the [[Moon (Majora's Mask)|Moon]] from crashing.

[[File:GreenSpirit(FS).gif|right|40px]][[File:BlueSpirit(FS).gif|right|40px]][[File:YellowSpirit(FS).gif|right|40px]]
In ''Ocarina of Time'', the Fairies are referred to as '''Fairy's Spirits''' in the [[Medicine Shop]], appearing as nondescript, glowing orbs with wings. The Fairies in {{OoS}} are in human form, but the [[Season Spirits]] look identical to these orb-like Fairies. The [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]] in {{FS}} and {{TMC}} first appear in the form of a Fairy Spirit before taking a human form. In {{FSA}}, the [[Maiden|Shrine Maidens]] turn into the form of Fairy Spirits when freed from their [[Crystal]]s. In {{PH}} as well as {{ST}}, the only Fairies that appear are respectively the [[Servant Spirits]] and the [[Spirit of Healing]], who also take on said shape.


It is possible that, due to the [[Nintendo 64]]'s graphical quality, Fairies were represented as balls of light simply because the system was not capable of providing detail to such a small object.{{whom}} The Fairies' representation as balls of light could just be a way of showing that they emit light from their tiny bodies as well.
==={{PH|-}}===
{{Stub|PH}}


In ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'', a different variety of Fairy that resembles a wingless glow makes its only appearances. In certain areas of the game, such as near the portal to [[Zora's River]] in the [[Lost Woods]], or at [[Gossip Stone]]s, if Navi or Tatl glows green, Link can play an [[Ocarina]] song (either "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]", the "[[Song of Storms]]," or the "[[Sun's Song]]") and a wingless Fairy will appear. It restores eight [[Heart]]s and refills the [[Magic Meter]]. It cannot be caught in a Bottle, and therefore cannot revive Link when he runs out of health. In {{OoT3D}}, the color of the Fairy has been changed to yellow to differ from the normal Fairies, has wings, and now fully heals Link. These changes are also present in ''Majora's Mask'' besides the color change.
==={{ST|-}}===
{{Stub|ST}}


===Great Fairies===
==={{SS|-}}===
{{Main|Great Fairy}}
{{Stub|SSHD}}
Great Fairies are much larger than regular Fairies, at the size of a full grown Hylian (or even larger), and they almost invariably inhibit a winged female form (the only exception to this rule is the case of the Great Fairies in ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Majora's Mask'', and {{HW}}, who resemble beautiful women and can fly, but have no visible wings).


Great Fairies reside in specialized Fairy Fountains known as [[Great Fairy Fountain]]s. They also help Link, often by providing him with special power-ups or increased item-carrying capacity, alongside replenishing his health.
==={{ALBW|-}}===
{{Stub|ALBW}}


===Stray Fairies===
==={{TFH|-}}===
[[File:MM3D Stray Fairy Artwork.png|right|55px]]
In {{TFH}}, {{Plural|TFH|Fairy}} possess a unique role in that they are used as the {{Plural|TFH|Link}}' extra lives. Whenever a {{Term|TFH|Link}} falls in battle (resulting in all {{Plural|TFH|Link}} falling due to their shared health), a {{Term|TFH|Fairy}} appears to revive him, and the {{Plural|TFH|Link}} are forced to restart the Stage of the Level. Three {{Plural|TFH|Fairy}} are brought into a Level when the {{Plural|TFH|Link}} enter the {{Term|TFH|Drablands|link}}. If the {{Plural|TFH|Link}} fall after losing their last {{Term|TFH|Fairy}}, the Level is failed and the {{Plural|TFH|Link}} are forced to exit. After clearing a Level, any {{Plural|TFH|Fairy}} remaining are tallied and turned into bonus {{Plural|TFH|Rupee|link}}, multiplied by 30 for each {{Term|TFH|Fairy}} (E.g. three {{Plural|TFH|Fairy}} will reward 90 {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}}). In single-player mode only while using the {{Plural|TFH|Doppel|link}}, {{Term|TFH|Link}} can use a {{Term|TFH|Fairy}} to skip Stages and advance to the next one. Doing this, however, will empty all of the {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} {{Term|TFH|Link}} has collected thus far, decrease the number of bonus {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} {{Term|TFH|Link}} earns after clearing the Level, and will replace the contents of a {{Term|TFH|Material|link}} chest with 20 {{Plural|TFH|Rupee}} for each {{Term|TFH|Fairy}} used.
{{Main|Stray Fairy}}
{{Clear|left}}
A Stray Fairy is a symbolic representation of a portion of a shattered Great Fairy. They appear in ''Majora's Mask'', {{OoA}}, and {{FS}}. These Fairies are dissimilar to most other Fairies, appearing more rabbit-like in physicality and more subdued in their composure.

{{Stub|BotW}}
*In ''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.
{{Plural|BotW|Fairy}} can be found by cutting {{Term|BotW|Grass|link}}. They can also be found at {{Plural|BotW|Great Fairy Fountain|link}} and fluttering above the ground in certain areas. Unlike in previous entries, {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} does not require a {{Term|Series|Bottle|link}} to catch them. Instead, by using {{Term|BotW|Stealth|link}}, he is able to sneak up on them and directly pick them up. If {{Term|BotW|Link}} has three or more {{Plural|BotW|Fairy}} in his {{Term|BotW|Inventory|link}}, they will stop spawning until he falls below this threshold.
*In ''Majora's Mask'', Navi is replaced by [[Tatl]], a new Fairy who serves the same purpose as Link's previous Fairy.
*In the [[Wii]] version of {{TP}}, a Fairy resembling Navi is used as an on-screen cursor whenever the Wii Remote is pointed towards the sensor bar.
*In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Link obtains a companion Fairy named [[Ciela]]. Two other Fairies, [[Leaf]] and [[Neri]], also come to his aid later on. Each of the three Fairies represents one of the Goddesses (courage, power, wisdom) and give Link a unique power when equipped.
{{noncanon|start}}
*In [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' animated series]], Link is accompanied by [[Spryte]], a Fairy princess.
*In [[The Legend of Zelda (Comic)|''The Legend of Zelda'' comic book series]] published by Valiant Comics, Link's companion Fairy is [[Miff]].
*In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic)|''A Link to the Past'' comic]], [[Epheremelda]] is a Fairy that appears after Link retrieves the [[Master Sword]] in the Lost Woods and after he fights [[Agahnim]] for the first time. Link saves her from a group of thugs who want to abuse her magic.
*In the {{Manga|LA}}, Link was accompanied by a Fairy named [[Felicia]]. After the [[Wind Fish]] awakens, she disappears, along with the rest of [[Koholint Island]].
*In {{HW}}, Link is accompanied by a Fairy named [[Proxi]]. She speaks on his behalf.

All of Link's canon companions are in Fairy's Spirit form. All of the non-canon variety are in humanoid form, with the exception of ''Hyrule Warriors''.
==={{TotK|-}}===
{{Stub|TotK}}
{{Plural|TotK|Fairy}} behave similarly in {{TotK}} to how they did in {{BotW}}. {{Plural|TotK|Fairy}} can be found on {{Plural|TotK|Sky Island|link}} and inside some {{Plural|TotK|Well|link}}. If {{Term|TotK|Link|link}}'s {{Term|TotK|Life Gauge|link}} have been reduced to five or less {{Plural|TotK|Heart|link}} by {{Term|TotK|Gloom|link}}, a {{Term|TotK|Fairy}} is able to restore and heal him to five {{Plural|TotK|Heart}}. If {{Term|TotK|Link}} has less than five total {{Plural|TotK|Heart}} before he succumbs to {{Term|TotK|Gloom}}, {{Plural|TotK|Fairy}} will only restore him to his previous maximum. Despite this, {{Plural|TotK|Fairy}} cannot heal {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} damage when selected from the {{Term|TotK|Inventory}}.

In {{FPTRR}}, the Fairies lived in the [[Fairy Garden]], however it turned into a barren desert after the five Fairies that protected it went to sleep. The [[Grand Fairy]] tasks [[Tingle]] with restoring the five Fairy Fountains so to restore the land itself. Tingle's companion, [[Pinkle]], is also a Fairy and is the daughter of the Grand Fairy, who was imprisoned by [[Uncle Rupee]] and had her powers removed. After Tingle rescues her from the [[Auros Ruins]], she regains her powers and transforms back into her original Fairy form.

Various Fairies appear in the [[The Legend of Zelda (TV series)|animated series]]. Most of the Fairies, with the exception of [[Spryte]] who lives in [[North Castle]] with Link and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], live in the [[Fairy Spring]] in [[Hyrule]]. There, they are ruled by [[King Oberon]] alongside his [[Spryte's Sister|daughter]]. The Fairies only appear in the "[[Fairies in the Spring]]" episode, where Spryte's sister is creating [[Water Monster]]s with her magic since [[King Harkinian]]'s [[Royal Water Park]] is draining their water supply. Eventually, King Harkinian and King Oberon clear up all misunderstandings, allowing both humans and Fairies to enjoy the water park.

In {{FoE}} and {{WoG}}, Fairies appear as characters inhabiting the lands of [[Koridai]] and [[Gamelon]]. They are heavily based on the design of the Fairy artwork from ''A Link to the Past''. In ''The Faces of Evil'', a pair of Fairies live in a Fairy Fountain in the woods of [[Spearfish Falls]]. They proclaim Link as their hero and reward him with a [[Items in Link: The Faces of Evil#Life Heart|Life Heart]] in their first encounter. Once Link has the [[Canteen]], the Fairies will fill it with [[Water of Life]], and again for every time they are visited. In ''The Wand of Gamelon'', another pair of Fairies who live in the [[Fairy Pool]] have been imprisoned by the [[Three Witches]]. After Zelda defeats them and rescues the Fairies, they reward her with a Life Heart, [[Items in Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon#Fairy Dust|Fairy Dust]], and some Water of Life provided if Zelda has a Canteen.

They proclaim Link as their hero and give him a [[Heart Container#The Faces of Evil|Life Heart]] on their first encounter, followed by [[Water of Life]] for every subsequent visit. If Link owns the {{Term|TFoE|Empty Bottle|link}}, the Fairies will also fill it with Water of Life. The Fairies' appearance is heavily based on the design of the Fairy artwork from {{ALttP|-}}.

They will also refill Zelda's {{Term|TWoG|Empty Bottle|link}} if she owns one.

For other uses, see Fairy (Disambiguation).

Fairies,(Series)[1][2][3][4][5] also known as Faeries,(ALttP (Ishinomori))[6] are a recurring race of creatures in The Legend of Zelda series.[name references needed]

Most Fairies are small creatures with healing powers, and they usually fly by means of delicate, insect-like wings. Their appearances vary from game to game: in some games, such as Ocarina of Time, they resemble small orbs of light with four wings, while in others they take the form of tiny, winged humanoid females.

Overview

Navi, a Fairy from Ocarina of Time

Fairies usually have one of two roles in the series. Most Fairies possess healing powers; they can restore some of Link's Hearts when he is wounded. From A Link to the Past onwards, these Fairies can usually be caught in Empty Bottles for later use. If Link falls in battle while carrying a bottled Fairy, it will automatically come out to revive him. Groups of Fairies can be commonly found in Fairy Fountains scattered through the land, although some may also occasionally be found by breaking Jars or cutting grass. In some games such as A Link to the Past, Bubbles and Sparks can be turned into Fairies by using Magic Powder or the Boomerang. In Skyward Sword, Fairies can be summoned by drawing the Triforce on a Goddess Wall. In Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Link is able to pick them up and store them despite the lack of Empty Bottles, though he needs to sneak up on them to avoid detection.

The second role held by Fairies is that of a traveling companion. In several games, beginning with Ocarina of Time, Link has been accompanied on his travels by Fairy companions. Although in many cases they are used to facilitate gameplay (allowing Z-Targeting, for example), they also provide advice on what to do next or how to defeat certain enemies. In other games, such as Phantom Hourglass, companion Fairies also serve as the cursor for guiding Link.

Ocarina of Time

In Ocarina of Time, every Kokiri, with the exception of Link before Navi is assigned as his partner by the Great Deku Tree, is partnered with such a guardian Fairy.[7] Another variety of Fairy called Big Fairies resemble wingless, glowing balls. In certain areas, Link can play the Ocarina to make a Big Fairy appear.

Majora's Mask

Main article: Stray Fairy

In Majora's Mask, the Skull Kid had Fairy companions in Tatl and Tael. Tatl gets separated from them, and travels with Link to get his Hylian form back and to stop the Moon from crashing. Stray Fairies are the shattered portions of Great Fairies that can be found throughout the Temples and in Clock Town.

Tri Force Heroes

In Tri Force Heroes, Fairies possess a unique role in that they are used as the Links' extra lives. Whenever a Link falls in battle (resulting in all Links falling due to their shared health), a Fairy appears to revive him, and the Links are forced to restart the Stage of the Level. Three Fairies are brought into a Level when the Links enter the Drablands. If the Links fall after losing their last Fairy, the Level is failed and the Links are forced to exit. After clearing a Level, any Fairies remaining are tallied and turned into bonus Rupees, multiplied by 30 for each Fairy (E.g. three Fairies will reward 90 Rupees). In single-player mode only while using the Doppels, Link can use a Fairy to skip Stages and advance to the next one. Doing this, however, will empty all of the Rupees Link has collected thus far, decrease the number of bonus Rupees Link earns after clearing the Level, and will replace the contents of a Material chest with 20 Rupees for each Fairy used.

Fairies can be found by cutting Grass. They can also be found at Great Fairy Fountains and fluttering above the ground in certain areas. Unlike in previous entries, Link does not require a Empty Bottle to catch them. Instead, by using Stealth, he is able to sneak up on them and directly pick them up. If Link has three or more Fairies in his Inventory, they will stop spawning until he falls below this threshold.

Tears of the Kingdom

This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

Fairies behave similarly in Tears of the Kingdom to how they did in Breath of the Wild. Fairies can be found on Sky Islands and inside some Wells. If Link's Life Gauge have been reduced to five or less Hearts by Gloom, a Fairy is able to restore and heal him to five Hearts. If Link has less than five total Hearts before he succumbs to Gloom, Fairies will only restore him to his previous maximum. Despite this, Fairies cannot heal Gloom damage when selected from the Inventory.

Other Appearances

The Legend of Zelda (TV Series)

Non-Canon Information
Fairies in The Legend of Zelda TV series
See also: Spryte, Spryte's Sister, King Oberon

Various Fairies appear in The Legend of Zelda TV series. Most of the Fairies, with the exception of Spryte who lives in North Castle with Link and Zelda, live in the Fairy Spring in Hyrule. There, they are ruled by King Oberon alongside his daughter. The Fairies only appear in the "Fairies in the Spring" episode, where Spryte's sister is creating Water Monsters with her magic since King Harkinian's Royal Water Park is draining their water supply. Eventually, King Harkinian and King Oberon clear up all misunderstandings, allowing both humans and Fairies to enjoy the water park.

The Crystal Trap

Non-Canon Information
Main articles: Blue Fairy and Pink Fairy

In The Crystal Trap, two Fairies make an appearance to help Princess Zelda on her quest. The first Fairy that Zelda encounters is the Blue Fairy, which appears after the princess defeats a Gibdo using the Magic Arrows. Later in her quest, Link and Zelda will find the Pink Fairy only if the duo defeat the group of Octoroks that ambushed them in the forest.

The Faces of Evil

Non-Canon Information
A pair of Fairies from Link: The Faces of Evil

In The Faces of Evil, a pair of Fairies live in a Fairy Fountain close to the mid-point of Spearfish Falls. They proclaim Link as their hero and give him a Life Heart on their first encounter, followed by Water of Life for every subsequent visit. If Link owns the Canteen, the Fairies will also fill it with Water of Life. The Fairies' appearance is heavily based on the design of the Fairy artwork from A Link to the Past.

The Wand of Gamelon

Non-Canon Information

In The Wand of Gamelon, another pair of Fairies live in the Fairy Pool. They were imprisoned by the Three Witches when they froze the Pool. After Zelda defeats them and rescues the Fairies, they reward her with a Life Heart, Fairy Dust, and some Water of Life. They will also refill Zelda's Canteen if she owns one.

Zelda's Adventure

Non-Canon Information

In Zelda's Adventure, Fairies appear in small ponds found throughout Tolemac, and fully recover Zelda's health when approached. Three Fairies can be found in total: one in the Forest of Torian, one in a desert oasis in the South Gubasha Desert, and one in the Plain of Hobel.

Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

Non-Canon Information
This section of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.

In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, the Fairies lived in the Fairy Garden, however it turned into a barren desert after the five Fairies that protected it went to sleep. The Grand Fairy tasks Tingle with restoring the five Fairy Fountains so to restore the land itself. Tingle's companion, Pinkle, is also a Fairy and is the daughter of the Grand Fairy, who was imprisoned by Uncle Rupee and had her powers removed. After Tingle rescues her from the Auros Ruins, she regains her powers and transforms back into her original Fairy form.

Hyrule Warriors

Non-Canon Information
The Fairy who pleads for Impa and Sheik's help to save Princess Ruto.

In Hyrule Warriors, Fairies appear as elemental entities in Adventure Mode that are used to destroy harmful barriers that surround certain Keeps. They come in the elements Fire, Water, Lightning, Light, and Darkness. They appear trapped within certain Keeps and are freed when these Keeps are captured. Once freed and collected, they are kept in the item inventory within a Bottle and can only be used while inside a Keep that has a barrier of the corresponding element surrounding it.

In the Majora's Mask DLC Pack, white Rupee Fairies appear in certain battles in the Termina Map where Forces compete to collect the most Rupees at the end of the battle. These Fairies are kept by Fairy Hunters, and are freed when these Captains are defeated. Upon collecting a Rupee Fairy, all enemies will drop Silver and Gold Rupees for a short amount of time, which are worth more than the regular Green, Blue, and Red Rupees. In the same DLC Pack, the Fairies Tatl and Tael make a brief cameo alongside the Skull Kid during Young Link's attack where he slices the Moon in half.

A Fairy named Proxi also accompanies Link during his battles, and speaks on his behalf. Proxi also accompanies Young Link. A generic Fairy (although referred to as Navi in the North America's Wii U release) appears in "The Land of Myth" Scenario, pleading that the Hyrulean Forces rescue Princess Ruto from Darunia, who had captured her. The Great Fairy also sends Fairies to attack enemy troops when she is summoned from the Fairy Fountain. They help in various ways depending on the battle; such as dropping giant Bombs on enemy units, calling upon a recreation of the Terminian Moon to knock Argorok out of the sky, or by sending a rain of energy that destroys several enemies on the field.

Fairies also accompany Link's Great Fairy weapon type. They surround the Great Fairy while she dashes, and attack enemies as part of the Focus Spirit attack.
