Fairy Fountain

There are two types of fairy fountains. One type gives you new attacks or items and are inhabited by Great Fairies. In Ocarina of Time, Link will usually need to play Zelda's Lullaby to awaken them. In return, they will give you the spin attack, a magic meter (and later a doubled magic meter), Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, Nayru's Love, and doubled resilience.

The second type of fountain contains fairies. Link can access both types by destroying suspicious-looking rocks or cracks in the wall, though the latter can also be found underground in secret grottos.

In Majora's Mask, Link must find the lost fairies in the dungeon with the help of the Great Fairy Mask to rebuild the Great Fairy, who will then give Link new power-ups.

In The Wind Waker, the fairies give Link larger containers for his weapons, such as larger quivers and Bomb Bags.
