==Appearances==

===A Link to the Past===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the fountains are scattered across [[Hyrule]] in various caves. They restore Link's health. There are also special fountains called [[Mysterious Pond]]s where [[Link]] can get upgrades for weapons such as the [[Golden Sword]] or [[Magical Boomerang]].

===Ocarina of Time===

The first fountain encountered in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is on the [[Death Mountain Summit|summit]] of [[Death Mountain]] as a child, right after Link defeats the monster [[King Dodongo]] in [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. Link must play the [[Zelda's Lullaby]] on the [[Triforce]] marked pedestal in order to make the [[Great Fairy]] appear. If it's his first visit she'll grant him a new power. If it's a re-visit she'll replenish his health and [[Magic Meter]]

Some [[Fairy Fountain]]s can be found around the world. They do not contain Great Fairies; instead, there are many normal [[Fairy|fairies]] that can be caught in a [[Bottle]]. Some of them look identical to Great Fairy Fountains.

====Locations====

*[[Death Mountain]] - Must climb the mountain

*[[Death Mountain Crater]] - As an adult Link must destroy rocks blocking the path with the [[Megaton Hammer]]

===Majora's Mask===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Link must find [[Stray Fairy|Stray Fairies]] in order to summon the Great Fairies (who are identical to the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''). The only exception is the fairy in [[Clock Town]], who only had lost one Stray Fairy because of the [[Skull Kid]]. The benefits are much like the ones in ''Ocarina of Time'': Link can get a new power on his first visit and a health and Magic Meter replenishment on his re-visits.

====Locations====

*[[Clock Town#North Clock Town|North Clock Town]]  

*[[Woodfall]] - As a [[Deku Scrub]], Link must fly to the cave on the far side of the temple

===The Wind Waker===

Great Fairy Fountains are all located on [[Fairy Islands]] throughout the [[Great Sea]], with the exception being the Great Fairy on [[Outset Island]], who is beneath a boulder. They are usually located in seashell-like houses and grant Link upgrades to various items. Instead of restoring his health and Magic Meter, they leave behind lots of normal [[Fairy|Fairies]] that can be caught in a bottle or just used as a replenishment to health and [[Magic Power|Magic]].

===Four Swords Adventures===

Link can find the Great Fairies in caverns. They give upgrades to his equipment.

===The Minish Cap===

There are three Great Fairies that give Link a different brain teaser to solve. If he succeeds, he is given an upgrade to a specific item. If Link fails on a question that two of the Fairies ask, the Fairy will either take all of his [[Bomb]]s or [[Arrow]]s depending on which one it is.  

====Locations====

*[[Great Butterfly Fairy]] - Northeastern [[Minish Woods]]; only accesible from [[Eastern Hills]] with the [[Cane of Pacci]]

*[[Great Dragonfly Fairy]] - Small cave in the [[Royal Valley]]

===Twilight Princess===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Great Fairy Fountains are not scattered across [[Hyrule]] in secret caves as usual but are rather hidden in one big secret cave called the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. In the Cave of Ordeals, there are 50 floors filled with various enemies that Link must fight his way through. Every time he reaches the 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th floors he'll encounter a [[Great Fairy]] who will cause Fairies to appear in different [[Spirit's Spring|Light Spirits' Spring]]s. Once he reaches the 50th floor he'll get [[Great Fairy's Tears]] in an empty bottle, which will grant a temporary increase in strength and replenish all of his health.
