The Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake provide Link with several beneficial skills and power-ups that will make your adventure much easier. Six Great Fairy Fountains are scattered throughout Hyrule, and visiting them will reward you with various bonuses, including learning new magic spells, increasing the Magic Meter, and enhanced defense. Discovering these fountains may sometimes require a bit of exploring as well as breaking down boulders. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find all six Great Fairy Fountains and explain how to get each reward.
All Great Fairy Fountain Locations
There are six Great Fairy Fountains in the game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. It’s worthwhile searching for these fountains since every Great Fairy will give Link an ability or something beneficial. However, you must offer Rupees to awaken them, and the cost becomes higher the more fountains you find. It also depends on the sequence of your visits to the fountains.
To awaken a Great Fairy, position yourself above the Triforce symbol before her fountain and play Zelda’s Lullaby. After that, and after paying the necessary amount of Rupees, she will give you something special. Here are all the locations of the six Great Fairy Fountains.
Great Fairy Location #1 – Death Mountain Trail
Great Fairy Fountain Number One can be found on top of Death Mountain. In order to get there, you should first finish Dodongo’s Cavern. Then, you need to follow the path to the top of the mountain using Bombs to remove obstacles from your path. When climbing, you will encounter an area with falling rocks. Move quickly, climb the netting, and shoot Slingshot to take care of your opponents.
At the top of Death Mountain, look behind Kaepora Gaebora and notice a big rock. Blow it up using a Bomb, which will open the entrance for you. Inside, you will find the Great Fairy Fountain. By paying the offering of Rupees, you will receive the Great Fairy’s gift, Din’s Fire, and will be able to use the Magic Meter.
Great Fairy Location #2 – Hyrule Castle
The second Great Fairy Fountain lies inside the area of Hyrule Castle. The place should be visited by Child Link. Upon reaching the area of the castle, go to your right, where you will see some vines to climb. Follow the path above until you see more vines to climb, and from there reach the castle wall. Go up using the ladder ahead of you.
After going down the wall, proceed to the big gray rock and throw a Bomb on it so that it is destroyed. From the hole created, crawl and go through the mist-filled hallway to arrive at the Great Fairy Fountain. After offering the required number of Rupees, the Great Fairy will bestow upon you the Improved Spin attack.
Great Fairy Location #3 – Zora Fountain
The third Great Fairy Fountain can be found in Zora’s Fountain, just behind Lord Jabu-Jabu. However, you need to travel to Zora’s Domain first and give King Zora the bottle that contains the letter from Princess Ruto. You can acquire the bottle by searching the bottom of Lake Hylia. After King Zora permits you to enter Zora’s Fountain, you should travel behind Lord Jabu-Jabu and move towards the back right side of the place.
You should search the wall where there will be a big gray boulder and blast it using a Bomb in order to access the Great Fairy Fountain. The next step would be paying the required number of Rupees so that the Great Fairy becomes awake and rewards you with Farore’s Wind spell.
Great Fairy Location #4 – Death Mountain Crater
The fourth Great Fairy Fountain is located in Death Mountain Crater. Ensure that you are playing as the Adult Link and that you have the Goron Tunic, Hookshot, and Megaton Hammer before you visit this location. From the warp pad, move towards the left direction across the wooden bridge. Use the Hookshot to cross the gap in front of you, and keep walking along the way until you come across another wooden bridge.
Upon reaching the other side of the wooden bridge, locate the silver boulder on your right. Break the boulder using the Megaton Hammer and walk down the secret hallway. At the end of the hallway, you will find the Great Fairy Fountain. When you make a payment in Rupees, the Great Fairy will give you Double Magic.
Great Fairy Location #5 – Evil Desert Colossus
The fifth Great Fairy Fountain can be found in the Desert Colossus region. The player can get to this place as an adult by performing the Requiem of Spirit if the latter has been unlocked. In case this Requiem has not been unlocked yet, the player should complete the Gerudo Fortress and travel through the Haunted Wasteland in order to get to the desert. When the Desert Colossus region is reached, the player should go to its northern part.
There, on the walls of the cliffs near the entrance, there will be a big gray boulder. By placing a Bomb next to the boulder, the boulder will be destroyed, thereby giving access to the hidden path leading to the Great Fairy Fountain. Once the required Rupees have been paid, the Great Fairy will give the player the Nayru’s Love spell.
Great Fairy Location #6 – Ganondorf’s Castle
The sixth and last Great Fairy Fountain can be found on the route to Ganondorf’s Castle. To access it, play the Prelude of Light as an Adult Link in order to warp to the Temple of Time. Leave the temple, make a turn to the left, and go up the stairs on the right. Turn to the right once again to get to the area near the entrance to Ganondorf’s Castle.
Continue along the path to the left and find the big dark boulder with the golden sign on it. To remove the boulder, you will need to use Golden Gauntlets, which can be found in the room with the Shadow Barrier in Ganondorf’s Castle. When you equip them, go back to the boulder and remove it.
Go through the misty passage and enter the Great Fairy Fountain. Make your last Rupee donation, and the Great Fairy will give you Double Defense, reducing the damage Link receives from enemy attacks in half. Now you have found all six Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake and received all their rewards.
