| [[File:Venus.png|left]] | | {{Main|Venus}} |
| '''Venus''', the Queen of Fairies, lives in the [[Pond of Happiness]] located inside a cave on an island in the middle of [[Lake Hylia]]. Once inside, Link finds a long hallway leading up to a small pond, the Pond of Happiness, with two statues on each side. The pond asks Link how many [[Rupee]]s he would like to throw in, which would then tell him whether he would have "good" or "bad" luck. The responses include "Great Luck," "Good Luck," "A Little Luck," and "Big Trouble." For every 100 Rupees Link deposits into the pond, Venus appears and grants the young hero the ability to either carry more Bombs or Arrows, with the maximum being 50 and 70, respectively.<ref>{{Cite|Then I will increase your carrying ability so you can carry 50 Bombs at maximum. This is just a small happiness I can give to you.|Venus|ALTTP}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Then I will increase your carrying ability so you can carry 70 Arrows at maximum. This is just a small happiness I can give to you.|Venus|ALTTP}}</ref> The Bomb capacity increases by increments of 5 until Link reaches 40 Bombs, where the capacity will then increase by an increment of 10 Bombs to 50. Likewise, the Arrow capacity increases by increments of 5 until Link reaches 60 Arrows, where the capacity will then increase by an increment of 10 Arrows to 70. After Link has received the maximum carrying capability for both his Bombs and Arrows, Venus will redirect him to a [[Great Fairy#Friend of Venus|friend of hers]], the [[Waterfall of Wishing]] fairy, who will grant him even more happiness.<ref>{{Cite|I cannot grant any more wishes for you, but a friend of mine might be able to... She lives in the Waterfall Of Wishing near Zora's lake. I will return your Rupees to you. May you be happy...|Venus|ALTTP}}</ref>

| | In {{LA|DX}}, a [[Great Fairy]] who is proclaimed as the Fairy Queen can be found within the [[Color Dungeon]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 148}}</ref> She is residing in the last room in a pool, and as thanks for visiting her, she will offer to grant [[Link]] the "power of color" by changing his green tunic into either a [[Red Clothes]] or a [[Blue Clothes]]. The Red Tunic will increase the offense of Link's weapons, whereas the Blue Tunic will increase his defense against attacks.<ref>{{Cite|Welcome, Link . I admire you for coming this far. I will give you the power of color. If you want offense, choose red. If you want defense choose blue. Which power do you want?|Great Fairy|LADX}}</ref> Link can revisit the Fairy Queen to change between the two tunics, but he can never change back into his green tunic. However, in the Nintendo Switch version of Link's Awakening, Link can re-visit the Color Dungeon to have the Great Fairy change his tunic to either the tunic he didn't choose (after initially completing the Color Dungeon, then as long as he is wearing the red/blue tunic from that point onward), or he can change back into his original green tunic (if he's not already wearing it) as much as he desires. For example, after initially beating the Color Dungeon, Link has the choice of either the red tunic or the blue tunic. From the first re-visit onward, Link can choose the red tunic or green tunic (if he's wearing the blue tunic), the blue tunic or green tunic (if he's wearing the red tunic), or the red or blue tunic (if he's wearing the green tunic). The Fairy Queen's design in the Nintendo Switch version also has a red dress, and her color scheme is similar to that of her appearance in {{OoA|-}}, but with yellow antennae and yellow wings with orange tips. |

| Unlike previous Fairy Queens, she has the voice, appearance, and mannerisms of a child, although it is unknown if this is her true form: the mechanical sounds in her variation of the Great Fairy music, her puppetry of a Great Fairy doll, and a 'cut puppet strings' motion when she disappears lends credence to this. She also holds a doll resembling a Great Fairy, which is what she uses to grant the young hero the Fire and Ice Arrows.

| ==Theory==
| | Even though the Fairy Queen has a similar appearance as the one from {{TWW|-}}, she curiously refers to herself as a Great Fairy after she recovers her true form.<ref name="FSA"/> The power used by the Fairy Queen during the Hyrule Castle level is the first and only time thus far that allows the audience to catch a glimpse of the tremendous power that Fairy Queens possess. |
| {{Theory|start}} | |
| In the [[:File:Wiiart.jpg|first released concept art of ''Skyward Sword'']], revealed during E3 2009, Link was seen accompanied by [[Fi]], whose identity was not properly revealed at that point. Theories at the time speculated that, given that Link lacked a sword in the art, Fi was either an anthropomorphic version of the [[Master Sword]] or, given Fi's resemblance to the Fairy Queen as she appears in ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Four Swords Adventures'', that the two were somehow connected. Art included in ''[[Hyrule Historia]]'' shows that the resemblance was made intentionally, but no actual in-universe connection has been confirmed between the Fairy Queen and Fi, and the resemblance seems to simply be a design choice on the part of the development team.
