'''Great Fairies''' are large humanoid [[Fairy|fairies]] that have appeared in various [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' titles]]. Their main purpose is to heal [[Link]] whenever he is wounded and will also recover his [[Magic Meter|magic power]] in games such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''.<ref>{{cite|When you are weary of battle, please come back to visit me!|Great Fairy|OOT}}</ref> In other titles, like ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', they also bless Link with new items, powers or upgrades of his existing equipment.

There are three Great Fairies hidden throughout the land of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', all of which give Link special upgrades as well as heal his wounds. The three Great Fairies featured in this game are the Great Butterfly Fairy, the Great Dragonfly Fairy and the Great Mayfly Fairy. In each case, they possess wings resembling those of the insect from which they take their names. Each of the Great Fairies greatly resemble the appearances of [[#Four Swords|the Great Fairies]] in ''Four Swords''. | |||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', there are three Great Fairies in total: the '''[[:File:FSGreatFairyofForest.png|Great Fairy of Forest]]''' (<font color=lightgreen>'''green colored'''</font>), the '''[[:File:FSGreatFairyofIce.png|Great Fairy of Ice]]''' (<font color=lightblue>'''blue colored'''</font>), and the '''[[:File:FSGreatFairyofFlame.png|Great Fairy of Flame]]''' (<font color=yellow>'''yellow colored'''</font>).<ref>{{cite|Now that you have gathered the keys of the Fairies of Forest, Ice and Flame, the palace shall appear.|N/A|Four Swords}}</ref> After Link defeats each boss, a Great Fairy will speak to him, and if his performance during the dungeon was well enough, she will give him one of the [[Great Key]]s.<ref>{{cite|Incredible feat!

Each of the Great Fairies greatly resemble in appearances [[#The Minish Cap|the Great Fairies]] of ''The Minish Cap'', and like them, they first appear in the form of a [[Fairy#Fairy Spirit|ball of light fairy]] before taking a human fairy form. In ''Four Swords Anniversary Edition'', if all the players have acquired the Hero's Keys and completed the game, the Great Fairies' appearances will change to those similar to the ones seen in ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask''. | |||

===''A Link to the Past''=== | |||
Several Great Fairies appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. | |||
====Common Great Fairies==== | |||
[[File:FairyBig.gif|left]] | |||
These Great Fairies are the most common ones out of all the Great Fairies in ''A Link to the Past'', and as such, they can easily be found scattered throughout [[Hyrule]] in either caves or holes. When Link approaches her, she will completely heal the young hero's wounds. | |||
====Waterfall of Wishing Fairy==== | |||
[[File:Waterfallofwishingfairy.png|thumb|160px|Venus's friend at the [[Waterfall of Wishing]]]] | |||
At the [[Waterfall of Wishing]] near [[Zora's Lake]] lives a Great Fairy who is known to be a friend of Venus.<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|A Link to the Past}}</ref> She looks identical to Venus with the exception of her wings, which are smaller and greener. The Fairy at the Waterfall of Wishing appears as Link throws various items into the Mysterious Pond and asks him whether or not he dropped them. She will return items dropped by the young hero, but if he drops certain items, she will instead give him better items or upgrades of the item in return if Link answers the questions honestly. These include the [[Boomerang]], which she upgrades to the [[Boomerang#Magical Boomerang|Magical Boomerang]], the blue Level-1 [[Fighter's Shield]], which she upgrades to the [[Red Shield]], and an empty [[Bottle|Magic Bottle]], which she fills with [[Potion#Green Potion|Medicine of Magic]]. | |||
====Venus==== | |||
{{Main|Fairy Queen#A Link to the Past|Venus}} | |||
[[File:GreatFaerieVenus.gif|left]] | |||
[[Fairy Queen#A Link to the Past|Venus]] is the [[Fairy Queen]] and lives in the middle of [[Lake Hylia]]. Throwing money into the Wishing Well allows her to upgrade Link's carrying capacity of Bombs and Arrows. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
====Fat Fairy==== | |||
[[File:FairyQueenCursed.gif|left]] | |||
The '''Fat Fairy''' can be found in the [[Mysterious Pond]] within the [[Pyramid of Power]] in the [[Dark World]]. To gain access to her hidden fountain, [[Link]] must use the [[Bomb#Super Bomb|Super Bomb]] to blow a hole in the lower levels of the Pyramid. She will grant Link the [[Silver Arrow]]s required to defeat [[Ganon]], and will also power up the [[Swords of A Link to the Past#Tempered Sword|Tempered Sword]] into the [[Swords of A Link to the Past#Golden Sword|Golden Sword]]. Incidentally, the Fat Fairy's appearance can be blamed on a curse put on her by Ganon's magic.<ref>{{cite|I know I don't quite have the figure of a faerie. Ganon's cruel power is to blame! You must defeat Ganon!|Fat Fairy|A Link to the Past}}</ref> | |||
===''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages''=== | |||
Many Great Fairies appear throughout the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' games]] to heal Link at their fountains, and in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', two of them participate in password secrets. | |||
In ''Oracle of Ages'', the <font color=yellow>yellow</font>, <font color=pink>pink</font>, and <font color=lightblue>blue</font> Stray Fairies of the [[Fairies' Woods]] at first jumble up the topography of the forest and force [[Link]] to play a supernatural game of [[Hide and Seek]] to be granted access to the [[Wing Dungeon]].<ref>{{cite|This is our playground! Won't you play hide 'n' seek? If you can't find the three of us, you can't go on! We'll hide, so try to find us!|Fairies in the Fairies' Woods|Oracle of Ages}}</ref> Later near the [[Zora Seas]], Link encounters the [[Fairy Queen]], guardian of the seas, who was cursed by [[Veran]] into an [[Octorok]]-shape so that the evil sorceress could poison the seas and kill the [[Zora]] without the Fairy Queen's interference.<ref>{{cite|Please listen, young one! You may not believe this, but I am the Queen Fairy, guardian of this sea! The curse of an evil one named Veran has made me appear so!|Fairy Queen|Oracle of Ages}}</ref> She asks Link to find the [[Fairy Powder]] hidden in the nearby [[Eyeglass Island Library|Library]] to heal her,<ref>{{cite|The magic of Fairy Powder can turn me back to normal. Veran has poisoned the sea. Soon all living things in it will perish! Please go find some Fairy Powder!|Fairy Queen|Oracle of Ages}}</ref> and once he does, she removes all of the pollution from the Zora Sea, returning the sea to its natural beauty and restoring health to [[King Zora]] and [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]].<ref>{{cite|You brought me Fairy Powder! Now I can return to normal! Sprinkle the powder on me! Thank you, young one! Now I can cleanse the seas of evil!|Fairy Queen|Oracle of Ages}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The seas are back to normal! King Zora is all better, too! All is good!|A Zora|Oracle of Ages}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Thanks to you, our seawater is clean again, and Jabu-Jabu's health has returned.|King Zora|Oracle of Ages}}</ref> | |||
===''Link's Awakening''=== | |||
[[File:Fairy LA.gif|left|40px|A Great Fairy from ''Link's Awakening'']] | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Great Fairies are in the form of large fairies with bug-like wings and have black hair tied in a ponytail. They are scattered throughout certain areas of [[Koholint Island]], usually in a cave that houses a small pond and two fairy statues. If Link arrives wounded they will appear and recover all of his hearts. Not all Great Fairies in ''Link's Awakening'' live in a cave, for one of them lives in a small pond of the [[Mysterious Woods]]. There is also the [[Fairy Queen]] who only makes an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening#Ports and Remakes|Link's Awakening DX]]'', and resides in the last room of the [[Color Dungeon]], a dungeon exclusive to ''Link's Awakening DX''. As thanks for visiting her, she rewards Link with the 'power of color', a choice between the [[Tunic#Red Clothes|red tunic]], which increases the power of weapons, or the [[Tunic#Blue Clothes|blue tunic]], which increases Link's defense. Link can visit the Fairy Queen again to swap between the two tunics, but he can never get back his green tunic once he has swapped it for another tunic. | |||
===''The Legend of Zelda''=== | |||
[[File:GreatFairy(LoZ).gif|left|25px]] | |||
While not referred to as a Great Fairy and are in the appearance of a normal Fairy, there are a few areas in the [[Hyrule]] overworld where a pond housing a fairy can be found. These specific fairies have the same role as later Great Fairies: they will only appear if Link approaches their pond with injury and will instantly recover all of his hearts. As such, these fairies are probably what inspired the Great Fairies in later ''Zelda'' titles. | |||

[[File:Great FairyTP.jpg|thumb|right|A Great Fairy as seen in ''Twilight Princess'']] | |||
Unlike previous ''Zelda'' games in which the Great Fairies can be found in different caves throughout the overworld, the only Great Fairy of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' appears within the [[Cave of Ordeals]] in a fountain every ten floors. Each time Link reaches a new fountain, the Great Fairy will send pink healing fairies to the [[Spirit Spring]]s across [[Hyrule]].<ref>{{cite|Welcome, Hero, to the Cave of Ordeals. I am the Great Fairy. I reign over all fairies of this realm as their queen. In praise of your efforts thus far, I will release fairies to Ordon Spring.|Great Fairy|Twilight Princess}}</ref> The first time Link reaches the fountain of the 50th floor, the Great Fairy will reward him by filling one of the young hero's empty bottles with [[Great Fairy's Tears]].<ref>{{cite|It is impressive that you have made it this far. Your trust in your skills is your greatest asset. You cleared many ordeals... How impressive. In praise of your courage, I will give you this blessing. Drink this and you should be able to clear any difficulties that you might encounter ahead.|Great Fairy|Twilight Princess}}</ref> She will also tell him that he can get more Tears by going to any of the Light Spirit's Springs, although Link will only be able to have one bottle filled with Great Fairy Tears at any given time.<ref>{{cite|If ever you need my assistance again, visit any spring.|Great Fairy|Twilight Princess}}</ref> However, should he complete the Cave of Ordeals again, he will be able to fill another bottle with the Tears, allowing him to have more than one.{{fact}} The Great Fairy can also warp Link out of the Cave of Ordeals if he asks her to. | |||
The appearance of the Great Fairy in ''Twilight Princess'' looks younger than the ones seen in previous games. It may also be noted that this Great Fairy happens to be topless, with only her hair covering her body. | |||
===''Four Swords''=== | ===''Four Swords Adventures''=== | ||
[[File: | [[File:FSA_GBA_Screen_Great_Fairy.gif|left|]] In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Link can encounter a Great Fairy while inside certain dungeons or caves. If Link throws in a certain item into the pond below the Great Fairy, she will upgrade it to a Level 2 item. For example, throwing in the [[Slingshot]] will allow Link to shoot seeds from three different directions at the same time. Encountering these Great Fairies is crucial in order to solve various [[puzzle]]s of the game. The [[Fairy Queen|Queen of Fairies]] also appears in ''Four Swords Adventures'', during the [[Hyrule Castle#Four Swords Adventures|Hyrule Castle]] level. The Great Fairies in ''Four Swords Adventures'' have the same appearance as [[#The Wind Waker|the ones]] from ''The Wind Waker''. | ||
