They are usually located in holes or caves; however, they are inside of houses shaped like seashells in and out in the open in. They are often inaccessible without special abilities or items, for example, behind giant rocks or walls that must be bombed. Upon accessing the Series:, Series: may be rewarded with important items or power-ups which are helpful or necessary to finish the game. However, in some games such as, Great Fairies residing within fountains only heal ALttP: without granting him any special abilities.

Two ponds similar to NaN Great Fairy Fountains are found throughout the land of TLoZ: in, and although they are not specifically referred to as such, they can be inferred to be NaN Great Fairy Fountains since they serve the same purpose as in other Zelda games. They also set the overall image of the NaN Great Fairy Fountains for many Zelda games to come, with a Fairy floating over the ponds of water. The Fairy that appears will completely heal TLoZ:.

NaN Great Fairy Fountains are found all over Hyrule: in, either inside caves or holes, with some of them being more well-hidden than others. Keeping with the overall appearance of the fountains in the original, Great Fairy Fountains contain a large pond in the middle with two statues resembling Fairies at the side. The Great Fairy within will heal Link's wounds completely when he approaches her.

Pond of Happiness
There is a Great Fairy Fountain known as the Pond of Happiness located inside a cave on an island in the middle of Lake Hylia, which is home to the Queen of Fairies, Venus. Once inside, ALttP: will find a long hallway leading up to a small pond with two statues on each side. The pond asks ALttP: how many NaN Rupees he would like to throw in, which would then tell him whether he would have good or bad luck. Every time the hero throws 100 NaN Rupees into the pond, the Queen of Fairies appears and grants him the ability to either carry five more NaN Bombs or NaN Arrows, with the maximum being 50 and 70, respectively.

Mysterious Ponds
Two Mysterious Ponds can also be found. The pond in the Light World, known as the Waterfall of Wishing, houses a Great Fairy within and is located right before reaching the Zora River. Just like the rest of the NaN Great Fairy Fountains, it has a pond in the middle with two torches at the side. Here, ALttP: can throw specific items into the pond to make a Great Fairy appear and receive better items in return, such as the Red Shield or the Magical Boomerang.

The second pond, located in the Dark World, contains a cursed Great Fairy. If ALttP: throws in his ALttP: in the middle of the pond, the cursed Great Fairy will appear and bestow upon him the Silver Arrows. ALttP: can also throw in the Tempered Sword to turn into the Golden Sword.

There are four NaN Great Fairy Fountains scattered throughout Koholint Island in. Each houses a Great Fairy capable of fully restoring LADX:'s health. The NaN Great Fairy Fountains can be located at:


 * Out in the open in the Mysterious Woods
 * In a cave north of the Honeycomb tree in Ukuku Prairie
 * In a cave east of the Face Shrine
 * In a cave south of the Eagle's Tower

In, an additional Fairy can be found, who refers to herself as the Fairy Queen. The Fairy Queen resides in a small fountain in the final room of the Color Dungeon. As thanks for visiting her, she bestows Link the "power of color", which is either the Red Clothes or the Blue Clothes. These tunics increase the power of Link's weapons or his defense when worn, respectively. Link can revisit the Fairy Queen anytime to swap between the two tunics, but he can never regain his green tunic.

There are a total of six NaN Great Fairy Fountains located all over OoT3D: in. All of the Great Fairies within grant OoT3D: special power-ups such as enhanced defense or spells like Din's Fire, among other abilities. After OoT3D: has received the power-up in its respective OoT3D:, he can go back and get his wounds healed and Magic Meter replenished by the Great Fairy.

The location of each of the NaN Great Fairy Fountains as well as the power-ups received are:


 * The summit of Death Mountain – Magical Spin Attack and Magic Meter
 * Death Mountain Crater – Enhanced Magic Meter
 * The path to Hyrule Castle – Din's Fire
 * Zora's Fountain – Farore's Wind
 * Desert Colossus – Nayru's Love
 * The path to Ganon's Castle – Enhanced Defense

All of the fountains in the game have the same appearance, including two torches on each side of the fountain, a rather large pond in the middle from which the Great Fairies come out of, and a Triforce symbol in front of said pond. In order to get the Great Fairy to appear from the fountain, "Zelda's Lullaby" must be played with either Ocarina while standing on top of the Triforce symbol.

NaN Great Fairy Fountains are all located in the four cardinal directions of Termina: Woodfall, Snowhead, Great Bay, and Ikana Canyon, including Clock Town as well.

The appearance of NaN Great Fairy Fountains in are more similar to the Fairy Fountains in. There is still a large pond in the middle, but there are no torches or Triforce symbols; instead, the MM3D: is surrounded by several columns and arcs. Since the Great Fairies living within were shattered into NaN Stray Fairies by the Skull Kid wearing, it is up to MM3D: to gather the missing NaN Stray Fairies from each of the area's dungeons in order to receive the respective power-up from the Great Fairies.

Only one power-up is required to proceed through the game, being the one in North Clock Town during the first 3-Day cycle, which introduces the Magic Meter.

In and, several Great Fairy Fountains are scattered throughout Holodrum and Labrynna. A Great Fairy will also reside in the canopies of each game's respective Maku Tree once they have grown large enough.

In, each of the Great Fairies of Forest, Ice, and Flame await at a FS: in the Sea of Trees, Talus Cave, and Death Mountain Stages respectively. Each FS: can be reached by using the Warp Zones that appear after defeating the boss of that particular Stage. It is at each of these locations that the FS: may receive a Silver, Golden, or Hero's Key of that Stage's Great Fairy, depending on the number of NaN Rupees they collect.

NaN Great Fairy Fountains are all located on different islands of the Great Sea in, especially on the Fairy Islands. NaN Great Fairy Fountains are easily spotted as they are shaped like seashells, with the exception of the one in Outset Island's Fairy Woods, which is instead a hole covered by a TWWHD:. Their entrances are all blocked by certain obstacles such as NaN Boulders, fires, vines, and among other things that must be removed using using various items, such as NaN Bombs or the Skull Hammer. The inside of the NaN Great Fairy Fountains still retain the same large pond from which the Great Fairies come out of. There are also several seashells aligning the walls, keeping to the outside characteristics of the NaN Great Fairy Fountains.

The names of the Fairy Islands in which the NaN Great Fairy Fountains are located, along with the upgrades received are:

Quiver Upgrades

A special NaN Great Fairy Fountains, which houses the Fairy Queen, is located in the Mother and Child Isles. The only way to reach it is by warping to that island using the "Ballad of Gales". Upon landing inside the NaN Great Fairy Fountains, the Fairy Queen grants TWWHD: the Fire and Ice Arrow. After TWWHD: has received the upgrades or power-ups from its respective NaN Great Fairy Fountains, the Great Fairy will no longer be at the NaN Great Fairy Fountains. Instead, Fairies will be floating over the pond, ready to heal TWWHD: or be put inside a TWWHD:.

FSA: can encounter various NaN Great Fairy Fountains while inside certain dungeons or caves in. NaN Great Fairy Fountains are rather small compared to its predecessors, and are usually very easy to find. They bear a slight resemblance to the Waterfall of Wishing from, and they also play the same role. If FSA: throws a certain item into the pond, the Great Fairy will upgrade it to a Level 2 item. If FSA: does not upgrade his items, he will not be able to proceed through the stage.

There are three NaN Great Fairy Fountains in that are home to a Great Fairy in each: the Great Mayfly Fairy, Great Butterfly Fairy, and the Great Dragonfly Fairy.

The locations of the NaN Great Fairy Fountains as well as the upgrades received are:


 * Mount Crenel – While scaling the Crenel Wall, to the far right side is a piece of land where TMC: must use a Bomb to open up an entrance. Once inside, he can throw yet another TMC: into the pond. The Great Mayfly Fairy will appear and ask him if he threw a golden TMC:, a silver TMC:, or neither. By answering honestly, the Great Mayfly Fairy will reward him with a larger Bomb Bag.
 * Minish Woods – To the far northeast corner of Eastern Hill is a small hole. TMC: must use the Cane of Pacci to get to the higher platform and head east into the Minish Woods. The lone tree here holds a TMC: inside. By throwing in all of TMC:'s NaN Rupees into the pond, the Great Butterfly Fairy will appear and reward him with a bigger Wallet for being so generous.
 * Royal Valley – Upon entering the Royal Valley, TMC: must head down the stairs and immediately to the right is a cave that can be bombed. Once the hero approaches the fountain, the Great Dragonfly Fairy will appear and ask several questions. If TMC: can answer the questions correctly, she will reward TMC:'s knowledge by giving him a larger Quiver.

NaN Great Fairy Fountains are all found inside different floors of the Cave of Ordeals in. Once TPHD: reaches the 10th, 20th, 30th, and 40th floors, he can approach the pond in the middle of the room to make a Great Fairy appear. She will reward him by releasing Fairies at the springs of the four Spirits of Light. On the 50th floor of the Cave of Ordeals, the Great Fairy will fill one of TPHD:'s NaN Bottles with Great Fairy's Tears. She will also tell him that he can get more Tears by going to any of the Light Spirit's Springs, although TPHD: will only be able to have one TPHD: filled with Great Fairy's Tears at any given time.

NaN Great Fairy Fountains appear nearly identically to those of, with some even located in the same locations. In Lorule, behind the Bomb Flower Store, there is also a ALBW: where the Great Rupee Fairy resides, who will give ALBW: an empty Bottle after receiving a total of 3,000 NaN Rupees, restoring her body's form.

There are four NaN Great Fairy Fountains that can be found throughout BotW: in : in the woods above Kakariko Village, south of Tabantha Tower, in the woods south of Tarrey Town, and among the Leviathan skeleton in Dragon's Exile in Gerudo Desert. Unlike in past games, these NaN Great Fairy Fountains are not hidden inside of caves - instead, they are large flower buds that are out in the open, surrounding by orange, glowing mushrooms. After BotW: provides the Great Fairy with enough Rupees (100, 500, 1,000, or 10,000, depending on how many NaN Great Fairy Fountains he has found), the bud will open, revealing a small pool of water in its center which the Great Fairy will emerge from. NaN Great Fairy Fountains are also often surrounded by different plants, such as Silent Princesses or Armoranths. Malanya Spring also features a flower bud resembling a BotW:.



NaN Great Fairy Fountains appear in several Stages in. The NaN Great Fairy Fountains have two functions; either functioning as normal Keeps to be captured, or as mission objectives, where a Great Fairy may be summoned through a Magic Circle to help in battle, usually after escorting a character to a Keep. NaN Great Fairy Fountains appear in Hyrule Field, Faron Woods, Valley of Seers, Palace of Twilight, and Skyloft, although whether they are used or not depends on the Scenario.

A lone Cucco may sometimes be found inside the HWDE: Keeps. Attacking them will summon a Cucco Rogue Force into the battle.
