A Standout Tribute: Tera Cosplay
The community surrounding “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” is renowned for its impressive tributes to the game, and a new cosplay of the Great Fairy Tera is perhaps one of the finest examples. As the eldest of the four Great Fairy sisters, Tera plays a crucial role in the game by enhancing Link’s equipment. Her design is iconic and naturally inspires talented fans to recreate her in the real world.
On Reddit, the creator known as tavern-wench-cosplay shared several striking images of their Great Fairy Tera cosplay. These photos, taken in enchanting locations like a mysterious forest and a swirling waterfall, exhibit an extraordinary level of detail and artistic precision. The community is clearly impressed, with one commenter, Swimming-Koala-3122, declaring it the best Great Fairy cosplay they’ve ever seen. Another user, mrboat-man, echoed this sentiment, praising the accuracy of the portrayal.
The Role of the Great Fairies in Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Unlocking Armor Upgrades
Tera is one of four Great Fairies in “Breath of the Wild,” alongside Cotera, Kaysa, and Mija. Each fairy aids Link on his journey by upgrading his armor. Interestingly, although there are only four Great Fairies, the game includes five fairy fountains, with the fifth belonging to the Horse God Malanya, whose hands bear a striking resemblance to those of the Fairies.
To benefit from their powers, players must first locate each fairy’s fountain, which resembles a large closed flower bud. By offering the correct amount of Rupees, the bud opens, revealing the Fairy who then offers her assistance. Each unlocked Great Fairy allows Link to enhance his armor further.
In response to inquiries about portraying other fairies, tavern-wench-cosplay expressed a desire to let other creatives showcase their talents. They are actively recruiting a “great fairy army” to celebrate and represent diverse body types.
Tera’s Unique Contributions
Essential Upgrades for Defeating Ganon
While tavern-wench-cosplay seeks to bring all four Great Fairies to life with the help of other cosplayers, it’s important to remember Tera’s remarkable capabilities. Hidden in the southwest corner of the Gerudo Desert, finding her is challenging due to the treacherous desert journey filled with enemies and extreme heat. However, once discovered, Tera’s ability to upgrade gear becomes invaluable in the quest to defeat Ganon and save Hyrule.
Tera distinguishes herself from her sisters with unique traits. She occasionally greets Link in the Gerudo language and shares anecdotes about her underwater activities. Humorously, she even attempts to convince Link of her mind-reading abilities, leading to a memorable interaction when she reveals what players are truly thinking.

The Great Fairies have long been a staple of the “Legend of Zelda” series, but none are as iconic as the sisters in “Breath of the Wild.” Their vibrant personalities and magical abilities make them both delightful discoveries and crucial allies in overcoming the game’s toughest challenges. Fans eagerly anticipate the day when tavern-wench-cosplay can assemble a complete group of Great Fairies.
