Non-Canonical Appearances
The Minish Cap (Himekawa)
In the manga, the Great Dragonfly Fairy resides in the Temple of Droplets, where she performs a song. Her wings had grown out seven days prior to Link's arrival, and Ezlo explains that she has sung for seven days and seven nights; when her song ends, she will die. Although Link tries to convince her to continue singing, she recognizes her fate and gives him the Water Element to aid in his journey.
Vaati appears in the Temple and demands that the Great Dragonfly Fairy tell him where he can find the Light Force. When he recognizes Ezlo as his old master, he transforms the Great Dragonfly Fairy into a moth to show how much his power has surpassed Ezlo's. He explains that the Great Dragonfly Fairy will be able to live forever in her new form; however, she also loses her mind and begins destroying the Temple as Link and Ezlo escape.
