Nayru's Love

is a recurring Spell in .
==Location and Uses==
======
In , Nayru's Love is received from the Great Fairy of Magic in the Desert Colossus. When used, the Spell based on the Goddess Nayru surrounds Link's body with a blue diamond-shaped barrier, which lasts for exactly one minute. Nayru's Love prevents all damage, but does not stop recoil from enemy attacks, meaning Link will still be thrown otherwise. It can be activated instantly on command, but only deactivates when it wears off. The effect of Nayru's Love wearing off is signaled by the barrier flickering while the noise that accompanies it falters. It drains a considerable 12 Magic Power when used, making it the most magic-consuming item in the game. While activated, the Hero of Time cannot use any other items that drain magic energy until the defensive spell wears out.
