great fairy locations

Spread out across the Sea are eight different great fairies willing to impart Link some specific skill or upgrade to help him in his quest. Listed below are the locations of the fairies and descriptions on how exactly to meet with each one. To help in the specific location, you may want to consult our reference map of the Great Sea to decipher what the grid location is.

Arrow Upgrades
These can be obtained after receiving the Bow from Tower of the Gods (E4) and completing the events of saving Aryll from Forsaken Fortress (A1).

1. After learning the Ballad of the Gales from Cyclos, use it to transport to the Mother & Child Isles (B2). The Queen of the Fairies will appear and give Link the power to use Fire and Ice Arrows. If Link hasn't saved Aryll yet, though, she'll tell him to do so and see her when you have.
2. At Western Fairy Island (A3) there is a wall of flames blocking the Seashell Hut's entrance. Use the Skull Hammer to hit the lever and lower the flame wall. Inside the Great Fairy will give Link the ability to carry 60 Arrows at once in his quiver.
3. At Thorned Fairy Island (G4) there will be a wall impenetrable thorns covering the entrance to a Seashell Hut. Hit all three levers with the Skull Hammer to lower the thorn wall. Inside there will be a Great Fairy who will give Link the ability to carry 99 Arrows at once in his quiver.

1. At Eastern Fairy Island (E3) there is a big stone blocking the entrance to the Seashell Hut which can be blown apart with a bomb. Inside is a Great Fairy who can give Link the ability to carry 60 Bombs at once.
2. At Southern Fairy Island (D6) there is a wooden wall blocking the entrance to the Seashell Hut. Blow the wall apart with a bomb and jump inside to find a Great Fairy that will allow Link to carry 99 Bombs at once.

1. At Two-Eye Reef (D7) there is a flock of seagulls cicling a patch of water. Sail out to it and a Giant Octorok will appear. Use the Boomerang to slay it and a Great Fairy will appear. For saving her she will double Link's magic meter.

1. At Outset Island (B7) Link will encounter his first Great Fairy at the summit of the island where he first saved Tetra. Just bomb the big rock where the sign is and rop to the Fountain inside. The Great Fairy then will give Link the ability to hold up to 1,000 Rupees in his Wallet.
2. At Northern Fairy Island (C1) there is a Seashell Hut with no obstacles blocking the entrance. Drop down inside and the Great Fairy will give Link a Wallet able to carry 5,000 Rupees.
