Ciela is Link's fairy companion and plays a crucial role in your adventure. Initially, she has lost her memory, but as the story progresses, she regains her powers. Ciela's primary function is to provide guidance and hints, but her true value comes from her unique abilities that directly assist Link:
- Time-Slowing Ability: Ciela gains the ability to slow down time, which is essential for the final boss battle against Bellum. This ability is activated by tapping her icon during specific moments.
- Spirit Gem Upgrades: As mentioned in the 'Side Quests' section, collecting Power, Wisdom, and Courage Gems allows you to upgrade Ciela at the Fairy Fountain. These upgrades directly benefit Link:
- Power: Increases Link's sword damage.
- Wisdom: Increases Link's defense.
- Courage: Extends the duration of the Phantom Hourglass, allowing more time in the Temple of the Ocean King.
Prioritizing the collection of Spirit Gems is paramount to making Ciela a powerful ally. Her upgrades are the closest thing to a 'build' system in the game, allowing you to tailor Link's strengths. For example, if you struggle with combat, focus on Power and Wisdom Gems. If the Temple of the Ocean King is a challenge, prioritize Courage Gems. Ciela is more than just a guide; she's an integral part of Link's success.
