Ever found yourself wandering Hyrule in Ocarina of Time Remake, wondering where all the Great Fairies are hiding? You're not alone. These six magical ladies are tucked away behind cracked rocks and heavy boulders, and each one offers a unique power or upgrade that you can't get anywhere else. The catch? They don't come cheap. You'll need to fork over some serious Rupees to get their gifts. But trust us, the rewards are worth it—especially the later ones that can make your life a whole lot easier.
Let's start with the first Great Fairy most players stumble upon. Head to Death Mountain Trail as a child, north of the entrance to the summit. Behind a cracked rock (you'll need Bombs to blow it open) you'll find a fountain. Pay 25 Rupees and she'll grant you Din's Fire, a fiery attack that burns nearby enemies at the cost of 2 Magic. You'll need to have cleared Goron City and Dodongo's Cavern to get Bombs, but after that, you can come straight here.
Right after unlocking Bombs, swing by Hyrule Castle. Just past the gatehouse on the right side, there's another cracked rock. Blow it up and you'll find the second Great Fairy. For 50 Rupees, she'll give you the Gift of Improved Spin, which increases the range and damage of your spin attack. Handy for crowd control!
Next up is Zora's Fountain. As part of the quest to find Ruto, you'll gain access to the area behind Zora's Domain. Head to the southernmost point and blow up the wall with Bombs. This fountain costs 100 Rupees, and the reward is Farore's Wind—a spell that lets you place a warp marker and teleport back to it anytime for 2 Magic. Super useful for backtracking.
As an adult, after completing the Fire Temple, you'll have the Megaton Hammer. Use it to smash the boulder on the west side of Death Mountain Crater. Pay 200 Rupees and you'll get the Gift of Doubled Magic, doubling your magic meter capacity. That's a game-changer for spell-heavy players.
In the Desert Colossus as an adult, check the northern cliffs before entering. A rock (destroyable with Bombs or the Hammer) hides the fifth fountain. For 300 Rupees, you'll receive Nayru's Love, which grants temporary invulnerability at the cost of 4 Magic. Perfect for tough fights.
Finally, the most powerful Great Fairy awaits at Ganondorf's Castle. As an adult, look for a heavy stone on the east wall—you'll need the Golden Gauntlets to lift it. These are found inside the castle itself, so grab them first, then come back out. Pay a whopping 500 Rupees and you'll get the Gift of Halved Damage, permanently reducing all damage you take by half. It's an endgame buff that's absolutely worth the investment.
Remember, to afford these hefty donations, you'll likely need to complete the Gold Skulltula side quest to unlock larger wallets. So start collecting those tokens! Which Great Fairy are you planning to visit first? Let us know in the comments!
