Fairy

Fairies () are a recurring race of creatures in series.
== Character description ==
Throughout The Legend of Zelda series, most Fairies are small, luminescent that fly by means of delicate, insect-like wings. They most commonly reside in hidden Fairy Fountains. In some games, such as the original , they are depicted as feminine humanoid creatures with two or four wings wielding small wands. In other games, such as , they instead resemble small orbs of light with four wings.
Fairies primarily serve as healing items, having the ability to restore some or all of Link's Hearts when collected. In many games, Link can also catch Fairies in bottles to heal himself on command or be automatically revived upon losing all Hearts. Several Fairies, such as Navi or Tatl, instead act as travel companions that offer advice or enable gameplay mechanics such as Z-Targeting. Additionally, certain variations of Fairies exist, such as the much larger Great Fairies or their scattered portions known as Stray Fairies.
