The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game that offers players the chance to enhance their armor pieces through Great Fairy Fountains.
However, in order to interact with these fairies, players will need to complete a series of side quests, travel across Hyrule, and get the members of a legendary music troupe back together. Here’s a detailed guide on where to find all the Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and how to interact with them.
Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom – All Great Fairy Fountians:
Great Fairy Fountains can be found close to a stable in each of the four regions. Once players interact with the first fairy, she will mark the location of the remaining three on the map. However, players will need to manually head over to one of the four spots to start the search. It’s important to note that players will have access to upgrades as soon as they help at least one of the Great Fairies. Each eligible piece of armor has its own necessary materials and a rupee fee. If players want to enhance their armor even further, they will need access to the subsequent fairies.
The Great Fairy Fountain locations are as follows:
- Great Fairy Tera (northeast of the Castle Ruins)
- Great Fairy Kaysa (southwest of Lookout Landing)
- Great Fairy Cotera (northwest of East Necluda)
- Great Fairy Mija (northeast of Rito Village)
However, players will need to complete a series of side quests involving The Stable Trotters, a missing musical troupe, to interact with the Great Fairies and upgrade their armor. Here’s a walkthrough of each Great Fairy Fountain and the side quests players will need to complete to access them.
Great Fairy Tera, ‘Serenade to a Great Fairy’ Walkthrough
Upon arrival, players will find Penn near the musical troupe. Players need to begin the conversation with all three members to access the “Serenade to a Great Fairy” side adventure, where they need to fix the troupe’s carriage. Players can attach spare wheels together using Ultrahand. Then, the troupe will ask for a horse to take the carriage. If players haven’t registered a horse yet, there are groups of them galloping around the area. Players will need a harness for the horse, which requires two Pony Points, a reward-based currency related to stables.
To get Pony Points, players need to speak to any character at a stable’s counter, who will unlock Pony Points with a membership card. Players need two Pony Points for a towing harness. Registering a horse and lodging in stables rewards players one each, and they also get a free point just by interacting with stables’ counters for the first time.
Once players have registered a horse, they need to talk to the person at the counter and ask to take them out. When prompted, choose to customize the horse, and select the harness. Then, players need to take the horse near the carriage and use Ultrahand to attach the harness to it.
After that, players need to hop on their horse and take the musical troupe to the fairy. There aren’t any major obstacles along the way, so players can just enjoy the ride. However, if the carriage flips for any reason, they will have to restart the sequence from the stable. Once players complete the side adventure, they’re free to continue with “Potential Princess Sightings!” at any time.
Great Fairy Mija, ‘Serenade to Mija’ Walkthrough
Players can find the Great Fairy Fountain of Mija at the Snowfield Stable in the Tabantha Tundra. Players need to head to the stable to complete the side quest and reunite the remaining members of The Stable Trotters. Players need to find three members of the musical troupe and convince them to reunite. The first member, Mozo, can be found playing the accordion near the stable. Players need to start a conversation with him to begin the quest.
Mozo will ask players to find the other two members of the troupe, Totts and Sesami. Totts can be found near the nearby dragon shrine, and Sesami can be found near the entrance of the Rito Village. Players need to convince both of them to reunite with Mozo, and then all three members will ask players to escort them to Mija’s Great Fairy Fountain.
Players need to make sure all three members of the troupe are following them and then travel to the Great Fairy Fountain. Players will need to fight off some enemies along the way, but the troupe members will also help in battle. Once players reach the Great Fairy Fountain, they need to interact with Mija to unlock the armor upgrades.
Great Fairy Cotera, ‘Shrouded Shrine’ Walkthrough
Players can find the Great Fairy Fountain of Cotera in the northwest of East Necluda. However, before players can access the fairy, they need to complete the “Shrouded Shrine” side quest. To start the quest, players need to head to Kakariko Village and speak to a woman named Monda, who can be found near the shrine.
Monda will tell players that she needs help finding a lost child. Players need to head to the Ta’loh Naeg Shrine and activate the nearby quest marker to start the search. Players need to follow the quest marker to find the child, who will lead them to a hidden shrine. Players need to solve the shrine’s puzzles to obtain the “Shrouded Shrine Orb.”
After obtaining the orb, players need to head back to Monda in Kakariko Village. Monda will thank players for their help and reward them with the “Shrouded Shrine Orb.” Players can then take the orb to the Great Fairy Fountain of Cotera to unlock the armor upgrades.
Great Fairy Kaysa, ‘The Travelling Musicians’ Walkthrough
Players can find the Great Fairy Fountain of Kaysa in the southwest of Lookout Landing. However, before players can access the fairy, they need to complete the “The Travelling Musicians” side quest. To start the quest, players need to head to Lurelin Village and speak to a man named Tumbo, who can be found near the entrance.
Tumbo will tell players that he wants to form a music troupe with his friends but needs their instruments. Players need to head to the nearby island and defeat the enemies to obtain the instruments. Players then need to return the instruments to Tumbo to complete the quest.
Once the quest is complete, players can access the Great Fairy Fountain of Kaysa to unlock the armor upgrades.
In conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers players the chance to enhance their armor pieces through Great Fairy Fountains. However, players will need to complete a series of side quests involving The Stable Trotters, a missing musical troupe, to interact with the Great Fairies and upgrade their armor. With this guide, players can easily locate all the Great Fairy Fountains and complete the necessary side quests to unlock the armor upgrades.
