How to Farm Fairies

Despite the spawn limit, there are methods to increase that allow you to have upto 21 Faires in your inventory.

To collect a Fairy, slowly walk over to them and press the A Button to collect.

If available to you, put on the Sheikah Set to boost your Stealth.

Intended Limit (6 Fairies)

So long as you have no more than 2 Fairies in your inventory, you can travel to any Great Fairy Fountain and collect 4 more Fairies.

11 Fairies in Inventory

Follow these steps to have to carry 11 Fairies in your inventory.

1	+3 Fairies	Head to any Great Fairy Fountain and collect only 3 Fairies.
2	Enlarge +4 Fairies	Head to a second Great Fairy Fountain. Then, hold 2 Fairies from you inventory. This allows the game to spawn 4 more Fairies because Fairies you hold do not take up inventory space. Collect the Fairies for a total 7 Fairies in your inventory.
3	Enlarge +4 Fairies	Repeat Step 2 at another Great Fairy Fountain for a total of 11 Fairies in your inventory.
