'''Fairies''', also spelled '''faeries''', are small spirits | |||
'''Fairies''', also spelled '''faeries''', are small spirits that are capable of flight and varying amounts of magic. They appear in many games of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise. In many games, fairies can grant Link lost health back on contact. In some games, these can be kept in [[Empty Bottle|bottles]] and even bought and sold in [[shop]]s. Aside from the small fairies, large [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]] are capable of much greater amounts of magic, but are usually confined to [[Fairy Fountain]]s. Depending on the game, fairies may be depicted as usually-female winged humanoids or simply colored balls of light with wings, with it being implied in ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'' that the latter design is simply light covering the fairy's humanoid body. Humanoid generic fairies in the franchise are commonly depicted with insect-like antennae. | |||

In the eastern and western parts of [[Hyrule]], there exist two springs where a lone fairy can restore all of Link's health if approached, which is a characteristic later given to [[Great Fairy|Great Fairies]]. Additionally, in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', these special fairies are stated to be [[Spryte]] and [[Miff]], respectively. | ||

Unlike the monster encounters, the fairies do not seek out Link, and as such can be fairly difficult to trigger. Link can also learn the [[Fairy (magic)|Fairy]] magic spell from a [[wise man]] in the [[Harbor Town of Mido]], which transforms Link into a fairy. As a fairy, Link can fly anywhere, but cannot attack or interact with certain objects such as locked doors. | ||

Additionally, sprinkling [[Magic Powder]] on an [[Bubble|Anti-Fairy]] will turn it into a fairy. Fairies in this game can be caught with the [[Bug-Catching Net]] and put into bottles. If Link loses all his hearts while carrying a bottled fairy, she will fly out and sprinkle magic onto him with her wand before flying away. This game introduces the Great Fairies, whose purpose is mostly identical to the fountain fairies in the first game. Two notable Great Fairies are [[Venus]], the Queen of Fairies, and the [[Fat Faerie]] within the [[pyramid]]. | ||

Of note is that every [[Owl Statue]] aside from the one in [[Clock Town]] has a health-restoring fairy hidden in a nearby object. Five unique Great Fairies also appear in the different regions, though each has been shattered into [[Stray Fairy|Stray Fairies]] by Skull Kid. The game also introduces a strange 35-year old man named [[Tingle]] who believes himself to be reincarnated from a fairy, and awaits the arrival of his own fairy companion. | ||

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', Link is accompanied by a blue fairy named [[Proxi]], who acts as his "voice." Another generic fairy, this one red, is found on [[Death Mountain]] in the past. The American version of the original identifies this as Navi, though all other versions (including the later ports) simply refer to it as a fairy. In the [[Adventure Mode]], fairies are sometimes caught in enemy [[keep]]s or by [[Fairy Hunter]]s and can be rescued to dispel [[barrier]]s of their element.

Bottled fairies can now be found in [[pot]]s in some Adventure Mode missions, and rescuing them adds them to the player's party. In My Fairy mode, the player can feed the fairies they have rescued to make them stronger, and teach them powerful magical abilities to assist on the battlefield. There are also several clothing pieces based off various creatures from the series the fairies can wear. However, the amount of fairies available in the party is limited, but expands every time an Adventure Mode map's final boss is defeated. Aside from their special abilities, tapping the fairy icon in a battle while having a full magic meter causes her to damage or defeat every enemy within a small area. Unlike most attacks, this ignores whether the enemies are actually rendered on the battlefield at the current time, and as such can potentially defeat several hundred enemies at once if there are enough in a given area. | ||
The fairies on the battlefield appear as the "ball of light" design, but in My Fairy mode, they are humanoid, represented by two-dimensional anime-stylized figures with layered-on features, likely to animate them while taking up a low amount of memory space. In ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition]]'', the two-dimensional figures are replaced with full three-dimensional models. | |||
