A Great Fairy Fountain is a reccuring location found in eight Zelda titles. They are places where Link can encounter a Great Fairy, who can replenish his health and give him upgrades to certain items or even magic.

Appearances

A Link to the Past

In 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 Ponds where Link can get upgrades for weapons such as the Golden Sword or Magical Boomerang.

Link's Awakening

Great Fairy Fountains are found all over Koholint Island in Link's Awakening. They are all located in caves, aside from the fountain where the Fairy Queen resides, which is in the Color Dungeon. As in other games, they gladly heal Link, but they cannot grant any upgrades.

Ocarina of Time

The first fountain encountered in Ocarina of Time is on the 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 Fountains can be found around the world. They do not contain Great Fairies; instead, there are many normal fairies that can be caught in a Bottle. Some of them look identical to Great Fairy Fountains.

Locations

Majora's Mask

In Majora's Mask, Link must find 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

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 Fairies that can be caught in a bottle or just used as a replenishment to health and Magic.

Link can also encounter the Fairy Queen by using the Ballad of Gales to warp to Mother and Child Isles. She gives him an upgrade of Fire and Ice to his Arrows.

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 Bombs or Arrows depending on which one it is.

Locations

Twilight Princess

In 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 Light Spirits' Springs. 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.
