Great Fairies and Fairy Fountains

For the most expensive gift before the finale, you’ll need a larger wallet from the Spider House in Kakariko Village . You can also find small fairies to capture in the sources described below.

1. Fairy Spring: Forest Glade

Do you remember the forest clearing where you learned Saria’s Song? At the end of the small maze, there’s a staircase that leads you further to Saria and the Forest Temple. Before you go up the stairs, though, turn around and you’ll see a ladder on the opposite wall.

Climb the ladder and walk forward until you find a hole. Jump in and you’ll find a fairy fountain.

2. Fairy Fountain: Kakariko Village Graveyard

Go to the graveyard with the butterflies. Pull back the headstone and jump into the hole. Down below, you can heal yourself at the Fairy Fountain and collect a Fairy in an empty bottle.

3. Fairy Fountain: Zora River

There’s also a fairy spring by the river in front of Zora Domain. This spring is difficult to reach: When you’re near the waterfall, jump into the water and let the current carry you.

Now pay attention to where you end up: You’ll come to a point where you have to decide whether to swim right or straight ahead. Choose straight ahead. You’ll then see a small piece of land on your right with a ladder. Remember this location.

Once you reach the bank, pick up the Cucco by the circle of stones. Find the fork in the river and glide with the Cucco to the small patch of land. Climb the ladder to another stone circle. Place a Bomb in the middle to reveal a hole. Drop inside to find a Fairy Fountain.

4. Fairy Fountain: Hyrule Field

Search in Hyrule Field: Start at the drawbridge in front of Hyrule Town, then head west.

Remember those pesky Peahat? Near one of them, there’s a lone rock to the right. Blow it up and jump down the hole. You’ll find another Fairy Fountain there.
