Ocarina of Time Fairy Fountains

In Ocarina of Time, Link can find a total of 13 Fairy Fountains. Six of which are Great Fairy Fountains. Only the first two Great Fairy Fountains are required to complete the quest, while the remainder of the fountains will allow Link to acquire some upgrades and new abilities. At any point during his quest, Link can revisit a Great Fairy Fountain to fill up both his Life and Magic Meter.

The seven regular fairy fountains are filled with fairies that Link can use to heal up, or capture them into an Empty Bottle for later use.

Great Fairy Locations

• 

  Location: Death Mountain Trail

  Conditions: Acquire Bombs

  Reward: The Magic Meter and Spin Attack

  Located at the very peak of the Death Mountain Trail. Link will need to have acquired the Bombs from Dodongo's Cavern in order to scale Death Mountain. Right next to Kaepora Gaebora, there is a wall that can be blasted open with a Bomb and inside is the Great Fairy. The Great Fairy will teach you the Spin Attack ability and in the process grant you the Magic Meter. This is a required Great Fairy as you will need magic to use the required magic-based weapons that are later acquired.

Link will need to first visit the Great Fairy Fountain on Death Mountain before he can acquire this item. This Great Fairy Fountain is required, as the reward is Din's Fire, which is essential to enter the Shadow Temple.

  Location: Outside Ganon's Castle
