| Quest giver | A boy in Castle Town (no name tag; his marker reads “Zols, Zols, Zols…”) |
| Available | Once the Stilled Hyrule Castle is restored and the town is back to normal; it opens right after the main quest “Still Missing” ends |

| Reward | 1 might crystal (spend it on upgrades at Lueburry’s home) |
A Zol-mad boy has only ever seen Zols in his dad’s encyclopedia, and he wants to see the real thing. Show him three kinds in a row: a plain Zol, a candle-like Ignizol and finally a giant, water-swollen Hydrozol. The first two are simple summons, and the last one needs a Water Block trick. If you already have the echoes, it only takes a couple of minutes. It also starts the boy’s Zol obsession, which pays off much later with a Piece of Heart.

How to Start
In Hyrule Castle Town, find the walled lawn with the houses and flower beds. The boy by the flower bed is muttering “Zols, Zols, Zols…” Talk to him: “Hi, miss princess lady! I got a question. Have you ever seen…a Zol?!” He saw a picture in the encyclopedia from his dad. Zols are “round and wiggly and SO super cute!”, but he has only seen pictures, and now he can’t stop thinking about them: “Maybe if I could look at a Zol, I’d stop thinking about Zols…” The A Curious Child banner appears.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Show him a Zol
Summon a Zol echo (the green one from Suthorn Beach) right in front of him. “There it is! That’s one!” He says it looks just like the picture in his encyclopedia and gushes over its wiggly body and big, round eyes. Then he remembers that there are all different kinds of Zols, including “Zols that are like candles”. The quest updates, and his marker now reads “A Zol like a candle…”
Step 2: Show him an Ignizol
Summon an Ignizol, the white Zol with a flame on top (learned in the red-rock cave by the pond in Suthorn Forest). “Oh my gosh! An Ignizol!” It’s totally different from the green Zol and looks like a candle, though the heat alarms him a little: “I think I’m gonna melt! Can people melt?” The Ignizol reminds him of another kind his mama told him about, “Zols that get bigger when they’re wet.” Now he wants a Hydrozol: “A big one that’s full of water”.
Step 3: A normal Hydrozol is too small
Summon a Hydrozol (learned in the Zora Cove cave you enter from a cliff ledge). He recognizes it, but “it looks waaay smaller than the one in my encyclopedia.” He’d love to see a bigger Hydrozol, and his marker changes to “A huuuge Hydrozol…” A plain summon will never satisfy him, because the Hydrozol has to soak up water first.
Step 4: Swell a Hydrozol with a Water Block
Head to the open part of the lawn west of his house, where there’s room. Summon a couple of Hydrozols, then summon a Water Block echo right beside them. Hydrozols grow when they’re exposed to water, and within moments they balloon to several times their normal size. Lead one of the swollen Hydrozols back so it ends up right in front of the boy.
Reward
“Wow… That one’s HUUUGE! It’s bigger than my bed!” He marvels that some Zols light up like candles while others “get in water, and they go all big like FWOOP!” Then he thanks you (“I like Zols even MORE now!”) and hands over a good thing his papa gave him: “You got a might crystal! You can use it for enhancements at Lueburry’s home.” The quest completes. See Might Crystals for what to spend it on. Before you go, he adds one more thought: “But I bet there’s a Zol out there my encyclopedia doesn’t know about!”
Tips
- Learn all four echoes (Zol, Ignizol, Hydrozol, Water Block) before you talk to him, or you’ll have to leave town to fetch the missing one.
- Do the Water Block step on the open lawn rather than among the flower beds and fences, so the swollen Hydrozols have room to grow.
- His closing line sets up the follow-up quest An Out-There Zol. Much later, show him the Gizmol automaton for a Piece of Heart.
