The Great Fairy - The Great Fairy... Yeah, that pretty much covers it. Actually there are several great fairies in each game. They live in fountains and they heal you as well as restore your magic. Great Fairies generally increase Link's magic ability and almost always give him something. In most cases they teach him an attack/defense, but they sometimes give items. The Great Fairy is a servant of the three goddesses who created the world. She is wise and kind. In one gaming magazine she was voted one of the most frightening game characters ever... that may have something to do with her rather odd appearance... and, like all Zelda characters, she makes weird noises... she's about ten times Link's size (okay, maybe only three times) and hovers in the air with her hands folded under her chin... she's slightly disturbing, but very helpful ^_^
