The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom brought back the Great Fairies, but in order for players to boost their equipment, they first need to complete certain tasks. Here’s where to find all the Great Fairy Fountains in TOTK and how to upgrade your armor.

Mirroring numerous features from Breath of the Wild, the Great Fairies make an appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. These magical entities provide advantageous upgrades for the wide array of armor sets that players can get in the game, but the requirements have changed in TOTK.

If you’re looking to upgrade your armor to take down tougher enemies with little trouble, here’s everything you need to know. From unlocking the Great Fairy Fountains to their precise locations in Tears of the Kingdom, we’ve got you covered with all the information about the Great Fairies in TOTK.

How to upgrade armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Before looking for the Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players will need to complete a particular side quest. Helping the Stable Trotters, a musical troupe roaming Hyrule, will make the Great Fairies come out of their hiding.

You’ll find the Stable Trotters at the Woodland Stable, southwest of the Eldin region. There, the musicians will explain that something has gone wrong. They’ll mention the Lucky Clover Gazette, so you’ll have to travel east of the Rito Village to find their newly renovated offices.

There, you’ll meet Traysi, the Lucky Clover Gazette’s Editor, and she will ask you to verify reports that assure that Zelda has been spotted near different stables. Once you initiate that quest, travel back to the Woodland Stable to talk with the Stable Trotters again.

After a short conversation, you’ll need to use Ultrahand to fix the broken wheels of their carriage. Furthermore, you’ll need to equip your horse with the Towing Harness and use Ultrahand again to attach the carriage to it. Once you do that, take the Stable Trotters to the Great Fairy. There, they’ll play a song and the Great Fairy will reveal herself so you can upgrade your armor.

Players will want to note that they’ll need to complete the Stable Trotters’ side quests to reveal each Great Fairy and get their blessing. When you do that, you’ll be able to come back any time you want for more upgrades.

Completing the quest requires that players find the scattered members of the group and solve the issue that’s preventing them from going back to the Stable Trotters. Luckily, everything you need to complete the sidequest is near the stables and the Great Fairy Fountains you’re trying to unlock.
