Big Fairy

Big Fairies are a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. They appear when Link plays the "Song of Storms", or, more rarely, the "Sun's Song", at certain locations. If Link touches one, this benevolent creature will completely refill the hero's health and Magic Meter.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Big Fairies appear as pink, floating orbs of light, just like the more common health-restoring Fairies located throughout the game. However, the orb representing a Big Fairy's body is somewhat larger than a typical Fairy's (hence the name), and they notably lack wings of any kind. Also noteworthy is that these Fairies cannot be caught in Bottles. As mentioned above, contact with these creatures will totally replenish Link's health and Magic Meter. They appear at two types of locations: the first is any Gossip Stone at which Link plays the "Song of Storms"; the second, any number of spots where Navi flies over and turns green, but provides Link with nothing to Z-target. At these spots, Link must again play the "Song of Storms", or sometimes the "Sun's Song", to make a Big Fairy appear. Note that Navi also exhibits this behavior at spots where playing the "Song of Time" will summon one or more Stones of Time, or where the "Scarecrow's Song" will summon Pierre. A Big Fairy will not appear at these locations.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Big Fairies return in this game, performing the same function and inhabiting the same type of locations as their Ocarina of Time counterparts. Unlike in Ocarina of Time, Big Fairies in Majora's Mask do sport insect wings, like their more prevalent health-restoring cousins. They are also rarer than in Ocarina of Time, appearing at many fewer non-Gossip Stone locations.
