There are six Great Fairy Fountains in Ocarina of Time Remake. Each one is a hall with a golden fountain and a Triforce mark on the floor in front of it. Stand on the mark, play Zelda’s Lullaby, and the fairy who wakes asks for an offering of rupees. If you choose “Make an offering” she rises from the water and gives you a power. Each fountain costs more than the last one you visited, from 25 rupees up to 500, so save your rupees. Every fairy also tells you where to find her sister and says you can return any time you feel weary to be healed.

Climb Death Mountain Trail, bomb the cracked boulders on the way up and climb the long net on the rock face. Kaepora Gaebora waits at the top, and a lit stone corridor beyond him leads to the fountain. The route is in Death Mountain Summit and Crater.
