There are 6 Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (remake), and all of them will require you to make progress in the main story to discover their hidden locations. In total, you will need 1,175 Rupees to purchase each of these unique upgrades, but they’re well worth the asking price, as you’ll be gaining double magic, permanent reduced damage taken, and some special magic abilities to help with puzzles and combat.

Great Fairy #1 Location – Death Mountain Summit
Your first Great Fairy is found as Child Link after you’ve completed Dodongo’s Cavern, as you will need the Bomb Bag.
Once you have the Bomb Bag, trek up the Death Mountain Trail until you reach the Death Mountain Summit. The Great Fairy is found behind the rock wall to the left of the entrance to the Death Mountain Crater.
Once inside, play Zelda’s Lullaby and donate 25 Rupees to be given Din’s Fire as your new upgrade. If you’ve forgotten how to play Zelda’s Lullaby, then we’ll share the button prompts:

Great Fairy #2 Location – Hyrule Castle
As Child Link, return to Hyrule Castle Town and head north to Hyrule Castle. You need to climb past the vines to access the courtyard.
Once you drop down from the ladder on the other side, look east to find a rock wall that can be exploded with a Bomb. This will reveal a small hole, which Child Link can climb through.
Once again, play Zelda’s Lullaby and donate 50 Rupees to summon the Great Fairy, which grants you the Gift of Improved Spin.
Great Fairy #3 Location – Zora Fountain
You won’t be able to reach the Great Fairy at Zora Fountain until after you’ve found Ruto’s letter in a bottle and told King Zora (which can be found in Lake Hylia, provided that you have the Silver Scale).
With King Zora out of the way, head past him to the Zora Fountain area. Once you’re here, head southeast to find a wall you can blow up with a Bomb.
Play Zelda’s Lullaby and donate 100 Rupees for the Great Fairy to appear, who will reward you with Farore’s Wind as your next upgrade.
Great Fairy #4 Location – Death Mountain Crater
You can’t reach the fourth Great Fairy until you’re playing as Adult Link. Head to Goron City and interact with Goron Link to get the Goron Tunic. With it equipped, complete the Fire Temple to get the Megaton Hammer.
Once you have the Megaton Hammer, enter the Death Mountain Crater and go across the bridge in the southwest area. This is where you will find a rock wall that can only be destroyed with the Megaton Hammer.
Inside, play Zelda’s Lullaby and spend 200 Rupees to get the Gift of Doubled Magic.
Great Fairy #5 Location – Evil Desert Colossus
You can reach the fifth Great Fairy when you head to Gerudo Fortress and rescue the 4 apprentices. This will grant you the Gerudo Pass, which will unlock the path to the Evil Desert Colossus.
Once you arrive at the Evil Desert Colossus, head northeast to find a rock wall by a palm tree. You can use a Bomb to destroy this wall.
Head deeper into the cave and use Zelda’s Lullaby, then pay a whopping 300 Rupees to get Nayru’s Love as your next upgrade.
Great Fairy #6 Location – Ganondorf’s Castle
The sixth and final Great Fairy is located at Ganondorf’s Castle, but you can only enter this location after you’ve acquired all Medallions from the 5 Temples. Once that’s done, head north of Hyrule Castle Town as Adult Link.
You will need to go into Ganondorf’s Castle and complete the Shadow Temple to get the Golden Gauntlets. With this new item, head outside Ganondorf’s Castle and go east. There’s a golden obelisk here that you can move out of the way.
Go inside to find the final Great Fairy, where you can use Zelda’s Lullaby and spend 500 Rupees to get your last upgrade: Gift of Halved Damage.
