Great Fairy. This one gives you your prize: Great Fairy's Tears. You can now replenish your Great Fairy's Tears at any time at the Spirit's Springs; however, you can only have 1 bottle at a time. On each trip to the end of the Cave of Ordeals after this, Link will be rewarded with another bottle of Tears. On the second time through the cave, the Postman will appear on the right side of the ledge. He says "I think you are lost. It's got to be around here somewhere....".
Congratulations on completing the obnoxiously long and difficult Cave of Ordeals.
