Is there a counter for how many shrines I have completed? Its proabably right in front of me but I dont see one

@DarthNocturnal thanks for pointing that out

@CosmicLight Well, there's still a reason why the Great Fairy from Wind Waker is still my "favourite". I really don't care about the OOT version of the Great Fairy. It's more awkward than anything else, especially if you have to watch those scenes more than ten times in one go.

I actually really liked the great fairys in this game. Each of them had their own unique designs with their own personalities. They stood out from each other and I honestly loved those weird cut scenes - they were just so funny to me XD. My favourite one would have to be the one in the Gerudo Desert. Her hair was just mind-blowing and I loved the fact that she actually greeted you with "Savaaq" too.

What? They were literally all the same, only their colour palette was different for each.

I'm sure the hairstyles are different too... Right?

@Octane I'd have to disagree. Whilst it's true they somewhat of a colour palette swap, each of them has their own hair style, different make-up and subtle differences in accessories. The Gerudo one was pretty funny. She'd would tell you she's the oldest and is the fairy of the earth. As mentioned before she actually says "Savaaq" to you as well as always talks about how she broke her deep diving record. The one in the Tabantha region is a bit more weird and a little bit creepy. She's really flirty and always opens up with "I thought I smelt the fragrance of a young man' Also she has the most extravagant make up XD. The one near Kariko village always refers to you as boy and always enters with weird sound such as "ahh puuu" or something like that and the one in the Akkala area has a slighty higher pitch voice but seems the most normal of the bunch. Each of the all also distinguished by the area and materials available in them. Kakariko = Faries + Nightshade, Akkala = Aromaths (or whatever they're called XD), Gerudo = Saffina Flowers and Tabantha= Thistles.

I had a great fairy pull me into her pond/pit the other day; I've visited them loads of times and never seen that before.

TBH the great fairies scare me more than any of the monsters! They're all WEIRD!!!

The Great Fairies have differently shaped and colored bangs and jewelry — though to say they are 'unique designs' is far too generous because the hair and bangles are all in the same place. They have new designs insofar as blue Bokoblins have are new designs from red ones.

They each have slight differences for certain lines of dialogue, however the desert one is the only one I really noticed having a distinct personality. In that she greets Link with 'Sav'aaaq!' like a Gerudo, coughs, and complains about sleeping underwater.

It's not like any of the great fairies have a different animation skeleton or anything. They're mostly recolors with a little bit of changed geometry and dialogue. Why are we back to 'did u even play?' over people recognizing that something which is not unique, is not unique?

If you're looking for the Zelda game without visually similar, recolor-adjacent deities, it's this one:

@zitpig The animation you get depends on the level of the equipment. You apparently upgraded a piece of equipment to the max for the first time.

I did wonder if that might be the case.

Can anyone tell me where the best place is to wait to try & get one of Dinraal's ( the red dragon ) scales please? Many thanks.

Yep, I did this just yesterday
Stand on the Tabantha Great Bridge at around 00:30. He flies below it.

The central fairy is a bit more overtly lecherous than the other three, and the blue and blonde fairies have such similar dialogue and personality you might not notice they're actually different at all unless you're really paying attention. Not sure what happened there.

@Haru17 The desert fairy is awesome.

@Jen10 there's a farming guide article here on Nintendo Life. Search for it, it is really good! Sorry to say i can't link it since i'm at uni now

@zitpig @DarthNocturnal, thanks both, will have a look at both locations & give then a try
@FGPackers thanks, i'll have a look at it, i didn't realise there was a guide lol

@ryu_niiyama LOL, it's there I tell you, it is! It was obvious! I mean, really, it's Japan, do you need convincing that it was a thing?

Honestly the main reason that every action thing needs a romance angle is because focus group testing has shown that it's a requirement to attract a female demographic. True or not (and it's probably mostly true) that's what their market research tells them, so that's what they put in. May not apply to you, but you're the exception to a great many rules!

Finley....if you ever do that quest...honestly you're going to question what you just did. There's no way around it. It would have been really cute if they had a punch line like everyone knows this is just imaginary...but no, everyone plays it straight....it's like "ok can I just go back and uncheck the completed box or something?"

@CosmicLight What problem could anyone have with the Madames of the Fountains? I mean granted the fairies have been madames since OoT, with the exception of TP where it was almost plain old teenage nudity, but BotW REALLY takes it over the top! That's just odd....though I love how Link covers his eyes and gasps in horror during the Lv 3 armor upgrade and just plain old screams for Lv 4.

And yeah I agree, I've found if I'm playing one of Nintendo's mobile games out and about I've switch to Mario Run because the thought of anyone SEEING FE: Heroes on the screen with one of the characters pretty much bent over in a g-string is just not socially acceptable and is simply awkward even alone. I honestly found the OoT fairies, especially on 3DS to be of questionable acceptability as well. Strangely I never found Tokyo Mirage a problem as it's characters supposedly in the real Tokyo entertainment industry....so they're behaving as they should for their role.

@Jen10 For scales it's easy to get them when he flies through the canyon between Tabantha and Central Hyrule. I glided down from a point North of the Great Tabantha Bridge and went into slo-mo archery mode to shoot a scale and collected it at the bottom of the canyon. Farosh is the one that's giving me trouble!

@NEStalgia thanks, will have a look at that location as well have a look at the top of Page 656, SKTTR gave me a good way of getting Farosh's Scales & it was quite easy to do. I don't know how to black out the answer sorry or i'd have written it here,

Well eeexcuuuuUuseeee while I play FE: Heroes with my team that is composed of a young woman in a bunny suit, a mage that goes around in transparent clothes, a guardian of the desert that is basically a walking shirtless scene and a dragon lady that looks like a young girl in lingerie.

/jk only two of them are in my main team.
