The Great Fairy within will heal Link's wounds completely when he approaches her. Keeping with the overall appearance of the fountains in the original The Legend of Zelda, Great Fairy Fountains contain a large pond in the middle with two statues resembling Fairies at the side.
Great Fairy Fountains are found all over Hyrule in A Link to the Past, either inside caves or holes, with some of them being more well-hidden than others. The Fairy that appears will completely heal Link. They also set the overall image of the Great Fairy Fountains for many Zelda games to come, with a Fairy floating over the ponds of water. Two ponds similar to Great Fairy Fountains are found throughout the land of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda, and although they are not specifically referred to as such, they can be inferred to be Great Fairy Fountains since they serve the same purpose as in other Zelda games.
