Fairy

Fairies are spirits that bestow life force to those in need. The especially powerful Great Fairies gather the smaller fairies to watch over the many corners of Hyrule. Above the Great Fairies, there exists a Fairy Queen who possesses enormous power. Throughout Link's many adventures, there have been multiple Fairy Queens.

Though the fairies are scattered all over, many live near fountains, bestowing life force to anyone who may wade into their healing waters.

If one places and keeps a small fairy in a bottle, it will give them life when their strength fails them. Because of this, fairies are sometimes captured using nets and sold in shops.
