Quest Overview
- Location: Gerudo Town
- Quest Giver: Gerudo woman standing on the staircase in the western side of Gerudo Town
- Objective: Retrieve and deliver a tumbleweed

Starting the Quest
To initiate the “Elusive Tumbleweeds” quest, speak with the Gerudo woman located on the staircase in the western part of Gerudo Town. She will express interest in examining a tumbleweed up close and requests your assistance in bringing one to her.
Locating Tumbleweeds
Tumbleweeds can be found rolling across the Gerudo Desert, particularly in areas south and southwest of Gerudo Town. They appear as brown, spherical objects moving with the wind.
Capturing and Transporting the Tumbleweed
- Approach a Tumbleweed: Carefully approach a tumbleweed without making contact, as they are fragile and will disintegrate upon impact.
- Bind the Tumbleweed: Use the Bind ability to securely hold the tumbleweed in place. Ensure it’s positioned close to Zelda’s body to maintain control during transportation.
- Navigate Back to Gerudo Town: Carefully maneuver through the desert, avoiding obstacles and enemies that could damage the tumbleweed. It’s advisable to clear any nearby threats before attempting the delivery to ensure a safe passage.
- Enter Gerudo Town: Upon reaching Gerudo Town, navigate through the town’s pathways with caution, ensuring the tumbleweed doesn’t come into contact with walls, objects, or NPCs.
- Deliver to the Gerudo Woman: Once you reach the quest giver, release the Bind to present the intact tumbleweed, completing the quest.
Rewards
Upon successful delivery, the Gerudo woman will reward you with two Might Crystals, which are valuable for upgrading Zelda’s abilities in her Swordfighter Form.
Additional Tips
- Tumbleweed Fragility: Tumbleweeds are extremely delicate and will break upon contact with any object or person. Handle with utmost care during transportation.
- Path Selection: Plan your route to avoid narrow passages and crowded areas to minimize the risk of accidental collisions.
