Finding every Great Fairy Fountain in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the best ways to power up Link for tougher dungeons and boss fights.

Great Fairy Fountain #1

Your first stop is at the very top of Death Mountain Trail, though you cannot reach it until you grab the Bomb Bag from Dodongo Cavern. Once you have bombs in your inventory, take the easternmost path on Death Mountain Trail leading toward Death Mountain Crater.

Blow up the boulders blocking the trail and walk through the stone arch at the top. Once you exit the tunnel, the volcano will erupt and rain flaming rocks down on the path. Sprint up the hill while dodging the falling debris, clear out the three Skulltulas clinging to the cliff, and climb to the summit in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Look to your left to spot Kaepora Gaebora sitting in front of a cracked rock wall. Drop a Bomb to blow open the entrance, step inside, and play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce emblem.

Offer the Great Fairy 25 Rupees, and she will unlock your Magic Power meter along with Din's Fire. This spell costs two Magic Power and sends out a dome of flames that burns nearby enemies.

Great Fairy Fountain #2

You can only reach the second Great Fairy's Fountain while playing as Young Link, and you will also need the Bomb Bag from Dodongo's Cavern. Head toward Hyrule Castle, climb up the vines, and walk past the first gate.

Look along the right side of the path to spot a suspicious rock wall. Blow it open with a Bomb to reveal a hidden tunnel leading straight to the spring.

Toss 50 Rupees into the water, and the Great Fairy will grant you the Gift of Improved Spin. This upgrade lets you hold down your attack button to charge a stronger spin attack that deals extra damage without draining your Magic Power in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Great Fairy Fountain #3

The third Great Fairy's Fountain is tucked inside Zora Fountain, and you will once again need your Bomb Bag to get inside. After you get King Zora to slide out of the way, walk behind his throne to enter the Zora Fountain area.

Head straight to the southeast corner of the map until you find a cracked rock wall near the water. Place a Bomb against the wall to uncover the cave entrance. Step inside and pay the Great Fairy 100 Rupees to learn Farore's Wind.

Casting this spell costs two Magic Power and sets a warp point inside a dungeon so you can return to that exact room later.

Great Fairy Fountain #4

To find the fourth Great Fairy's Fountain, you must play as Adult Link, equip the Goron Tunic to survive the heat, and complete the Fire Temple to obtain the Megaton Hammer.

Start from the Fire Temple warp pad in Death Mountain Crater, walk east across the wooden bridge, and jump across the gap. Follow the path south until you spot a dark, solid boulder embedded in the rock wall in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Smash it open with your Megaton Hammer to uncover the hidden doorway. Offer this Great Fairy 200 Rupees, and she will bless you with the Gift of Doubled Magic, which doubles the size of your Magic Power bar.

Great Fairy Fountain #5

The fifth Great Fairy's Fountain sits right outside the Spirit Temple in the Evil Desert Colossus. You can reach this region by crossing through the Mirage Desert as Adult Link.

Once you arrive at the Evil Desert Colossus, walk over to the north side of the area and look for a breakable rock wall. Use a Bomb to clear the rubble and enter the chamber. Drop 300 Rupees into the fountain, and the Great Fairy will teach you Nayru's Love. This spell costs four Magic Power and wraps Link in a crystal shield that makes you temporarily invulnerable to attacks.

Great Fairy Fountain #6

The sixth and final Great Fairy's Fountain is hidden just outside Ganondorf's Castle, but you have to enter the castle first to grab the Golden Gauntlets from the Shadow barrier room.

Once you have the Golden Gauntlets, head back outside the castle gates. Before you cross the bridge, look to the east to find a massive black and gold pillar blocking a cave.

Lift the pillar and toss it aside to reveal the final entrance. Pay the Great Fairy 500 Rupees to receive the Gift of Halved Damage, which cuts all incoming damage in half and gives your heart containers a white outline in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

FAQ

Q. What happens if I visit a Great Fairy's Fountain without enough Rupees?

A. If you walk onto the Triforce pad without enough money in your wallet, the Great Fairy will still appear and tell you how many Rupees she wants, but she will not give you the spell or upgrade. You can leave, farm Rupees from grass or pots, and come back whenever you have enough.

Q. Do Great Fairy's Fountains heal Link?

A. Yes, every time you stand on the Triforce emblem and play Zelda's Lullaby, the Great Fairy will completely refill both your heart containers and your Magic Power meter, even after you have already paid her and unlocked her permanent reward.
