In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the “A Curious Child” side quest involves showcasing various Zol creatures to a young boy in Hyrule Castle Town. Here’s a step-by-step guide to completing this quest:
Quest Location: Southwestern corner of Hyrule Castle Town.
Steps to Complete the “A Curious Child” Side Quest:
- Initiate the Quest: Speak to the child standing in front of a house in the southwestern part of Hyrule Castle Town. He expresses a keen interest in Zol creatures and wishes to see them firsthand.
- Present a Zol Echo: The boy first requests to see a regular Zol. These green, gelatinous creatures can be found in areas like Suthorn Beach and Suthorn Prairie. Summon a Zol Echo in front of the child to fulfill his request.
- Present an Ignizol Echo: Impressed by the Zol, the boy now wishes to see an Ignizol, a variant resembling a candle. Ignizols are white Zols with flames atop their heads and can be encountered in caves within the Suthorn Forest and the Suthorn Ruins dungeon. Summon an Ignizol Echo before the child to proceed.
- Present a Hydrozol Echo: The boy’s curiosity leads him to request a Hydrozol, a water-based Zol that enlarges when exposed to water. Hydrozols are typically found in the Faron Wetlands and caves near Seesyde Village. Summon a Hydrozol Echo to continue.
- Enlarge the Hydrozol: To fully satisfy the boy’s curiosity, he wishes to see a large Hydrozol. To achieve this, summon the Hydrozol Echo near a water source, such as the fountain in the center of Hyrule Castle Town, allowing it to absorb water and grow in size. Alternatively, use the Water Block Echo to enlarge the Hydrozol. Once it’s sufficiently large, present it to the boy.
Reward
Upon showcasing all three Zol variants, the boy will reward you with a Might Crystal, which can be used to upgrade Zelda’s Swordfighter Form.
