The Role Of The Great Fairies In Zelda: BotW
Unlock Them For Armor Upgrades
Great Fairy Tera is one of four Great Fairies to appear inLoZ: Breath of the Wild,with the other three beingCotera, Kaysa, and Mija.All four fairies play their part to help Link in his adventures.
Fun fact: Although there are four Great Fairies in the game, there are five fairy fountains. The final fairy fountain belongs to the Horse God Malanya, whose hands look suspiciously similar to the Fairies' hands.
The fairies' role is to upgrade Link’s armor,and each unlocked Great Fairy increases the level that the armor can reach. To unlock the fairies, Link must first find their fountains, which look like large closed flower buds. Upon paying the right amount of Rupees, the bud opens and a Fairy emerges, offering Link her assistance.
When asked if they would consider doing any of the other fairies, tavern-wench-cosplay responded that they have thought about it, but decided instead to allow other creatives to show off their skills and beauty. They’re “currently recruiting a great fairy army” with the goal of representing different body types.
The Great Fairy Tera Provides Essential Upgrades
All The Better To Bring Down Ganon
Whiletavern-wench-cosplay is in the process of gathering up additional cosplayers to bring all four of the Great Fairies to life, it’s good to remember Tera’s sheer power. Found in the southwest corner of the Gerudo Desert, she can be a pain to discover since it requires Link to trek across a perilous desert filled with an assortment of enemies while also avoiding the blistering heat. The upside is once she’s eventually found, Tera can upgrade players' gear, ensuring that they’re more than ready totake down Ganon and save Hyrule.
Great Fairy Tera has some unique traits that help her stand apart from her sisters, all of whom are very similar in terms of their mannerisms and attitudes. Likely because of where she’s located, Tera is known to occasionallygreet Link in Gerudoand will often inform him of what she gets up when she’s underwater.She also attempts to convince him that she can read minds, a conversation that results in a humorous moment when she figures out what players are actually thinking.
