In A Link to the Past, the Wishing Well is located inside a cave on an island in the middle of Lake Hylia, which is home to none other than the Queen of Fairies, Venus. Once inside, Link finds a long hallway leading up to a small pond with two statues on each side. The pond, known as the Pond of Happiness, asks Link how many Rupees he would like to throw in, which would then tell him whether he would have "good" or "bad" luck.[1] Every time the young hero deposits 100 Rupees in the pond, the Queen of Fairies appears and grants the young hero the ability to either carry five more bombs or arrows, with the maximum being 50 and 70, respectively.[2][3]
At first, Link can only throw in 5 or 20 Rupees at a time. After he meets Venus, the amounts increase to 20 and 50 Rupees. The Queen of Fairies will return Link's Rupees after he has reached the maximum carrying capability for both the bombs and arrows, redirecting him instead to a friend of hers at the Waterfall of Wishing that will grant him even more happiness.[4]
