Fairy Glow is a utility trait, and an innate racial perk for Tiny Fairies. As such, all Tiny Fairies innately must have this treasure, even if the treasure is undesired. No other races can obtain this perk.

Due to their magical nature, a Tiny Fairy is always brightly glowing a specific color--though this color varies from one Tiny Fairy to another. Although the fairy can cause its glow to flicker or slightly change, they cannot change the color to any significant degree, nor can they dim the glow to a significant extent. The glow cannot even be masked with an Illusion, oddly enough, though it does fade if the user Transforms. This renders any given Tiny Fairy highly noticeable to the naked eye, especially in areas of darkness.

The same magic which causes this glow inflicts the fairy with a significant weakness. Any Fairy has an inherent weakness to Shadow-based damage, taking double the normal damage from such attacks. This weakness, however, can be overcome by using Black Armor or any protective gear crafted from Evil Crystals.

Trivia

  • If a Tiny Fairy ever becomes a Great Fairy, as with Great Ascension, Fairy Glow is effectively replaced by Fairy Magic.
  • The Fairy Glow treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Ocarina of Time. More information about the canonical version of this treasure can likely be found on Zelda Wiki.
