Fairy Water upgrades a small set of items through a temporary Great Fairy encounter. Toss in an eligible item and, after a short sequence, the Great Fairy returns its upgraded form.
Great Fairy upgrades
| Throw into Fairy Water | Great Fairy returns |
|---|---|
| Old Rusty Shield | Fighter’s Shield |
| Boomerang | Magic Boomerang |
| Magic Lantern | Fairy Lantern |
| Empty Hylian Bottle | Green Potion |
How it works
- Throw an eligible item into Fairy Water. The thrower is remembered so the result can be associated with the correct player.
- A Great Fairy appears above the connected Fairy Water pool. The pool is flood-filled horizontally to determine its center and highest Y level.
- The upgrade resolves after about 60 ticks (~3 sec). Upgraded items are spawned in front of the owning player with their existing item components copied over.
- The Great Fairy leaves after about 100 ticks (~5 sec).
Unsupported items
Items that are not in the Fairy Water upgrade set are returned rather than intentionally consumed. The supported list is fixed in this version.
Great Fairy behavior
The Great Fairy is a temporary, non-hostile, largely non-collidable entity used for these upgrades. It cannot normally be damaged except by creative-player/generic-kill sources and grants no experience.
