Big Poes are large ghosts that are hiding around Hyrule Field in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Like regular Poes, you can store Big Poes in bottles, and sell them to the Poe Collector in Hyrule Castle Town. However, Big Poes are worth a whopping 30 rupees, so if you collect them all, you’ll get a good chunk of change.
On the downside, Big Poes are a bit difficult to find, as they’re scattered across the largest zone in the game. But, on the bright side, the Poe Collector will give you great rewards for hunting them down.
Here’s where to find every Big Poe in the Ocarina of Time remake, along with where to find the Poe Collector, and what rewards they’ll give you.
All Big Poe locations in Zelda Ocarina of Time
Before you start hunting them down, you’ll need to have Epona as your horse and the Fairy Bow from the Forest Temple. We also recommend getting as many empty bottles as you can, as you’ll need them to collect and sell them.

Once you have them both, look around Hyrule Field for purple lanterns on trees, fences, and walls. Jump over the obstacle, and a Big Poe will appear. You’ll need to keep up with them, and either hit them twice with an arrow or once with a Light Arrow. They can move pretty fast, so try to hit them quickly, or else you’ll have to jump over the obstacle again.

There are 10 Big Poes in total, and we’ve marked their locations on the map above. Once you’ve collected five and 10 Big Poes, make sure to go to the Poe Collector, sell them to him, and cash in your prize.

The Poe Collector can be found in the old guard room in Hyrule Castle Town. As soon as you enter Hyrule Castle Town as adult Link, turn right, and you’ll see a purple door leading to the Poe Collector’s store.
The Poe Collector has two rewards for you:
- 5 Big Poes: An empty bottle
- 10 Big Poes: Gold rupee (200 rupees)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is a little bit different than the original game, so if you need guides to help you through, we don’t blame you. We have walkthroughs for all the dungeons, from the Deku Tree to Ganondorf’s Castle. We also have guides for the sillier, in-between parts of the game, like when you have to find Richard (the dog) or Cuccos.
For those going for 100% completion, we also have guides on where to find every Piece of Heart, every Gold Skulltula token, and where to plant every Magic Bean.
