Side Quests

Ice Cavern

The frozen mini-dungeon off Zora’s Fountain. Iron Boots, and Sheik with the Serenade of Water at the exit.

Bottom of the Well

Kakariko as a child, after the Nocturne. The Lens of Truth — the Shadow Temple is unreadable without it.

Gerudo Training Ground

All the silver-rupee rooms, for the Ice Arrows. Optional, and the closest thing the game has to a challenge dungeon.

Gerudo’s Card

Free every carpenter in the Thieves’ Hideout. Shows on the Quest Status screen.

Keaton Mask

Mask 1. Sold to the guard at the Death Mountain gate for 15 rupees.

Skull Mask

Mask 2. Sold to the Skull Kid in the Lost Woods for 10 rupees.

Spooky Mask

Mask 3. Sold to the boy in the Graveyard for 30 rupees.

Bunny Hood

Mask 4. Sold to the Running Man in Hyrule Field for 500 rupees — the sale that finishes the shop’s books.

Mask of Truth

The reward for clearing the ledger. Reads Gossip Stones, and minds. The Goron, Zora and Gerudo Masks come with the same round of borrowing.

Biggoron’s Sword

Eleven trades from the Pocket Egg to the Claim Check, four of them on a timer, then three in-game days of forging. The game shows only the item in your hand, never the step you are on.

Ten Big Poes

Bottled from horseback in Hyrule Field and sold to the Poe Collector. No counter anywhere — the fourth bottle is the proof.

Anju’s Cuccos

Seven cuccos rounded up in Kakariko as a child. Pays a bottle.

Super Cucco Catching

Talon’s game at Lon Lon Ranch. Pays a bottle.

Ruto’s Letter

The dive at Lake Hylia and the delivery to King Zora. Pays the first bottle when it empties.

Stone of Agony

Twenty Gold Skulltula tokens. Shows on the Quest Status screen.

Win Epona from Ingo

As an adult at Lon Lon Ranch: beat Ingo in the race, then win the rematch to ride Epona out.
