Each holds a special and unique reward. This is quite lengthy, so set up a large block of time to complete it. Questing for these fairies also results in you getting some items or powers that allow you to progress in the game MUCH easier than without collecting them! --- WHAT ITEMS YOU NEED --- ------------------------- To do these quests, I suggest that you first beat the dungeon for ease of use. This will make you more acquainted with the dungeon, and understand where to go a lot easier than if you just read. You CAN do this as you progress through a dungeon, but do NOT lose track of the Time of Day. Focus on the DUNGEON, not the Fairies for now. You should have gotten the Great Fairy Mask from the Fairy in CLOCK TOWN before you even start on this quest. If you don't have it, GO GET IT!!! You should have a few bottles, but make sure you have at least three. I recommend you have the Giant's Wallet, but the Adult's Wallet will be fine. Fill a bottle with Green Potion in case you need magic and there aren't any areas around with pots. Fill the rest with Fairies. Leave one bottle open. You'll need a little bit of time around, at least an hour per dungeon, since they are very confusing at some points. There are few points that reset, such as the Puzzles in various rooms of dungeons, but often you'll be able to just run through. Each dungeon has a total of 15 STRAY FAIRIES, hidden in chests, bubbles, or just floating around in the open. Wearing the GREAT FAIRY MASK will show you when there is a STRAY FAIRY in close proximity to you, as the hair will start SHIMMERING. --- WOODFALL TEMPLE --- --------------------- LOCATION: Found after playing the SONATA OF AWAKENING as DEKU LINK in WOODFALL on the DEKU KING'S EMBLEM. DIFFICULTY SCALE: 4; Most Fairies are contained within the same room. TIME FACTOR: 25-45 Minutes. EQUIPMENT YOU NEED: Arrows, Hero's Bow, Great Fairy Mask, Deku Sticks, Deku Mask. SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT: Hookshot, Chateau Romani, Fire Arrows. --FAIRY REWARD-- -------------- For completing this quest, you will master the CHARGED SPIN ATTACK. To use this form of attack, press and hold [B] to let your sword charge energy. Release a devastating wave of energy at your target by letting go of [B]. --LOCATION OF STRAY FAIRIES-- --------------------------- 1. In front of you will be a Stray Fairy hovering. Put on the GREAT FAIRY MASK, and it will fly to you. 2. In that same room (the entrance room), you'll see a chest on a nearby platform. If you have the HOOKSHOT, fire to it, otherwise change into DEKU LINK and propel yourself to it. Open the Chest. 3. In the second room (north of the Entrance Room), you'll notice a Deku Baba (purple plant that munches at you) next to the Locked Door. Kill it, and a Fairy will appear. 4. In the room with the GIANT FLOWER, hop over to the far door. Turn RIGHT and notice the platform with the pots. If you have the HERO'S BOW, you can shoot the pots to shatter them, then wear the GREAT FAIRY MASK to collect it. If you don't have the bow yet, turn into DEKU LINK and hop over. 5. In the room with the FOUR VENUS FLY TRAPS surrounding a DEKU LAUNCHER on an island, take note of the treasure chest. To the left of it is a beehive, which looks small and brown. Shoot it with an arrow or a DEKU BUBBLE, and wear the GREAT FAIRY MASK. 6. In the room with the STONE BLOCK that you have to push (behind the Locked Door where you collected Fairy #3), there is a Stray Fairy. You can position yourself after you get the HERO'S BOW and shoot it (you'll have to push the block around and move until you have a clear shot at the side of the bubble). Wear the GREAT FAIRY MASK to collect it. 7. Above the STONE BLOCK in that same room are a few beehives. Shoot them all with the HERO'S BOW, and one contains a fairy. 8. In that same STONE BLOCK room, there's a Skulltula hanging from the wall near the torch. Kill it to reveal a fairy. 9. In the DARK ROOM, kill all of the BLACK BOES to make a chest appear. Open it to get the 9th Fairy. 10. In the GIANT FLOWER room, you can see a bubble from one side of the room. You can run over to the other side to kill it or use the HERO'S BOW and shoot it from a distance. Put on the GREAT FAIRY MASK to claim it. 11. In the GIANT FLOWER room, use the DEKU LAUNCHER near the unlit torch and switch. Fire yourself onto the switch and step on it to activate it. Then, fly over and open the chest that opens. 12. In the DEKU LAUNCHER ROOM before ODOLWA, the fairy is in a BUBBLE on the first ledge on the right side of the room. 13. In the same room above, there's another fairy on the third ledge up on the right side. 14. In the same room above, there's another fairy on the third ledge up on the left side. 15. In the same room above, there's a fairy trapped in a bubble in the Flames. Shoot the bubble with the HERO'S BOW to free it, then wear the GREAT FAIRY MASK to save it. --LOCATION OF FAIRY FOUNTAIN-- ---------------------------- The WOODFALL FAIRY FOUNTAIN is located in the large cave behind the ledge where you played the SONATA OF AWAKENING to bring up the temple. Use the DEKU LAUNCHER to fly to a nearby ledge with another DEKU LAUNCHER, and use that final blast to get into the fountain! ---SNOWHEAD TEMPLE--- ------------------- LOCATION: Top of Mountain in SNOWHEAD. DIFFICULTY SCALE: 7; Due to tricky jumps. TIME FACTOR: 30-60 Minutes. EQUIPMENT YOU NEED: Fire Arrows, Bunny Hood, Hero's Bow, Great Fairy Mask, Goron Mask, Empty Bottles. SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT: Hookshot, Chateau Romani. --FAIRY REWARD-- -------------- For completing this quest, you will DOUBLE YOUR MAGIC METER. The GORON ROLL uses a lot of magic over time, this bar is a necessity for most gamers. --LOCATION OF STRAY FAIRIES-- --------------------------- 1. In the room with the BROKEN BRIDGE and the three FREEZARDS (Ice enemies that breathe frost at you), shoot the bubble under the platform at the end of the bridge and wear the GREAT FAIRY MASK to collect it. 2. In the same room, drop down to the bottom. Look at the STONE PILLAR where the end of the bridge is connected. Shoot the bubble with an arrow and put on the GREAT FAIRY MASK. 3. In the room with the COLORED DOORS and large CENTRAL PILLAR, drop down to the bottom and become GORON LINK. Hit the SWITCH and open the CHEST to get it. 4.

In the same room, use the LENS OF TRUTH to reveal platforms and an alcove on the wall across from the FROZEN EYE SWITCH. 6. In the room with the DOUBLE BLOCKS stacked on one another (where you get the first small key, I believe), pull the blocks as GORON LINK until the end. A chest will appear, but you won't be able to access this until you make your way into the COMPASS ROOM. 7. In the room with the ICE PILLARS (this is room where you shoot the Icicles on the ceiling with your Hero's Bow, and they fall and crack the ice below), use the LENS OF TRUTH to search near the ICE MARKS on the room. Jump inside. 8. In the COMPASS ROOM, (the one with the White Wolfos and structurs frozen under the ice), use FIRE ARROWS to melt the ice and step on the switch.

Although big, bulky, and there's not a whole lot you can use it for at this point in the game, it's fun to run around back in time whacking things silly with it. The sword is etched with a Black Rose, and doesn't look that bad. :) It's not required in any way, shape, or form to beat the game, but if you are one of the gamers going for the COMPLETED GAME like myself, do it. --LOCATIONS OF STRAY FAIRIES-- ---------------------------- KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME OF THE CHESTS CONTAINING FAIRIES CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED WHEN IT IS FLIPPED OR WHEN IT IS NORMAL. COMPLETE ALL THE NORMAL ONES FIRST TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME AND BE EFFICIENT. YOU SHOULD HAVE CHATEAU ROMANI FROM THE NUMEROUS MAGIC ARROWS YOU WILL BE FIRING! 1. In the FIRST ROOM you enter, shoot the EYE SWITCH with an arrow to get a chest with a fairy. 2. In the MIRROR ROOM (with the Black Boes), shine light onto the RIGHT MIRROR with your MIRROR SHIELD.

Inside of the LAVA VENT ROOM, turn into DEKU LINK and propel yourself to the ledge with rupees, and open the chest. 6. Inside the same room, stomp on the GORON SWITCH as GORON LINK. QUICKLY (I know, this is VERY hard, you have to keep trying!!) GORON ROLL through the lava. DO NOT let yourself go into GORON-SPIKE mode, because you'll lose control. Roll around as smoothly as possible to the other side, and roll over the SWITCH to put out the flames around the chest. 7. Inside the HIPLOOP BRIDGE ROOM, kill the Hiploop. Then jump down onto the ledge to your right and grab the rupees. Plant a BOMB over the CRYSTAL SWITCH and get the chest that appears. 8. In the WATER ROOM, let the DIXIHAND throw you up onto the ledge. Use a bomb and hit the CRYSTAL SWITCH, making a chest appear. Use LIGHT ARROWS to melt the SUN BLOCK, and open the chest, guarded by a Beamos Statue. 9. In the room to the EAST of the entrance, sink to the bottom as ZORA LINK. Shoot the spikes with your Zora Boomerangs, then step on the switch. When you come back here after the temple is flipped, launch up to the switch platform.
