The Great Fairies (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

The Great Fairies have appeared in multiple Zelda games, but their depiction in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is one of my favorites. The giant women in flashy hair and makeup that would make anyone competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race jealous are fun, flirty, and always willing to lend a helping hand— if you help them first. Most design iterations of the Great Fairies have been a bit more reserved, which is why the Breath of the Wild versions are a delightful return to the maximalist look of Ocarina of Time’s fairies. Don’t give me generic fairies who will heal me up. Give me drag queen-looking mothers who are here to slay the pain away.
