Kakariko Village sits on the eastern edge of West Necluda, below a ring-shaped ruin that fell from the sky, with the Ring Ruins, East Hill Chasm and a pair of caves within a short walk. This chapter clears the village’s quests, shops and Koroks, the Makasura Shrine above it, and the caves and chests in the surrounding hills. Coordinates are map units (X, Y, height): larger Y is further north, and the minimap rim prints the same numbers, so you can match any entry against your own position. Quests are listed where you pick them up; their own pages cover every step.

Quick route

Everything here sits within a few minutes of the village square, so you can take the stops in any order; the order below keeps the climbs and glides to a minimum.

Start in the sky islands above Sahasra Slope: carry the crystal to Josiu Shrine, then open the Old Map chests and the Big Battery chest on the neighbouring islands, and glide down to the village.

In the village, take the Trissa and Dai quests, spend Lights of Blessing at the Goddess Statue, pick up the two sparkle Koroks above the wooden walkways, buy the Stealth and Radiant sets at the armor shop, and drop into Kakariko Village Well for the Eightfold Blade.

Climb to Makasura Shrine above the village, then work through the Ring Ruins and the hills: the Large Zonaite chest, the rock-lift Korok, the acorn-pot Korok, the carried Korok pair, and the Silver Lizal Blade chest on East Hill.

Finish with Kakariko Village Cave, Cucco Hideaway, and the Ring Ruin monster clear-out for Steen and Olkin, then return to Bugut and Trissa to hand in the quests.

Sky islands above Sahasra Slope

Josiu Shrine (Rauru’s Blessing). The shrine sits on a floating island at (1758, -1208, 937) in the sky above West Necluda, north-west of the village and far above it. It is listed under the West Necluda Sky, and its shrine quest is called The North Necluda Sky Crystal. The doors stay closed until you bring the crystal from the neighbouring island: pick the crystal up, carry it onto the glowing pad in front of the doors, and the quest completes. Inside there is no puzzle: open the chest on the main path for a Large Zonai Charge, climb the stairs and examine the altar for the Light of Blessing. A Lightroot is not attached to sky shrines.

Chests (Old Map x3, Big Battery). Three chests on these islands each hold an Old Map: one on the Josiu Shrine island group near (1780, -1240, 930), one on a narrow plank bridge at about (1850, -1088, 927), and one in a ruined court at about (1650, -354, 405). A Big Battery chest sits on a Construct-guarded platform at about (1494, -260, 386). Build a Zonai Wing and Fan glider to hop between the islands.

Korok seed (catch the falling light, 1776, -938, 966). On the island chain east of the shrine, a glowing light drifts down past the edge. Catch it before it falls out of reach and the Korok gives you its seed.

Sahasra Slope and the way into the village

Korok seed (dandelion, 1574, -1044, 154) and chest (Amber). On the grassy slope north-west of the village, a dandelion puff drifts above the path at about (1574, -1044, 154); hit it with an arrow as it floats off and take the seed. A chest in the rocks nearby holds a piece of Amber.

Arrival in Kakariko Village

Quest (Codgers’ Quarrel). Talk to Trissa in the General Store at (1826, -1041, 130). The two old men who restock the store have gone to drive monsters out of the Ring Ruin in the hills to the west. The quest ends when you clear the four Blue Bokoblins out of the ruin and report back; Trissa thanks you with an Endura Carrot, and Follow the Cuccos only unlocks after it. See the Ring Ruins section below and the Codgers’ Quarrel page.

Quest (Out of the Inn). Dai is looking after the inn at (1836, -1022, 134) and asks you to find the owner, Ollie, who is asleep at a camp among the Ring Ruins behind Paya’s Hall and will only wake for a Hearty Truffle. Gordi at the camp points you to a waterfall nearby; climb or glide to it and crouch through the small opening at the top to find one (the Kakariko Village Cave below also has them). Hand it to Ollie and Dai rewards you with a Sticky Elixir.

Goddess Statue (Stamina Vessel). The statue stands among blue flowers by the stream in the village. Spend four Lights of Blessing and choose Stamina Vessel to raise your stamina wheel.

Korok seeds in the village

Korok seed (sparkling spot, 1776, -984, 120). A sparkle hovers above the grass beside the wooden walkway on the village’s east side. Walk into it and the Korok pops out with its seed.

Armor shop and the quest slabs

Armor (Stealth set, Radiant set). Claree’s clothing shop at (1855, -981, 134) sells the Stealth Chest Guard, Stealth Mask and Stealth Tights (the Sheikah stealth set), and the Radiant Mask, Radiant Shirt and Radiant Tights (the glow-in-the-dark set that needs Luminous Stones to upgrade). Claree has raised every piece to 5,000 rupees to pay for her grandmother’s medicine; finish Gloom-Borne Illness below and the prices come down sharply (most guides give the Stealth pieces as roughly 500 to 700 rupees each).

Quest (A Trip through History). Bugut at the village green wants the writing from the Ring Ruin slabs. Read the slabs (see below) and report back for three Thunderwing Butterflies. The journals sit in the Ring Ruins around the village (the first is in the south-west corner of a ruin held by Bokoblins); the quest page lists them. Quest (Gloom-Borne Illness). Lasli’s grandmother is sick from gloom. Cook Sunny Veggie Porridge (Hylian Rice, Fresh Milk and a Sundelion or Sun Pumpkin) and bring it to her; she gives it to her grandmother Nanna, thanks you with a bowl of Energizing Veggie Porridge, and the shop prices drop.

Kakariko Village Well

Kakariko Village Well and chest (Eightfold Blade). The well shaft opens at (1875, -1044, 109) on the south-east side of the village. Dive in, light the dark corridors with a Brightbloom Seed, and follow the maze-like Zonai ruins to the chest at the far end for an Eightfold Blade, a Sheikah sword that rewards sneak attacks. Parts of the maze are buried, so use Ascend or Ultrahand where a passage seems to dead-end.

Makasura Shrine

Makasura Shrine (An Upright Device, a Puzzle trial) stands on the cliff above the village at (1769, -1051, 179). Climb the wooden scaffolding by the village’s eastern entrance and use Ascend to reach the top. The Arusakam Lightroot lies below it at (1769, -1052, -629).

Ring Ruins, East Hill and the carried Koroks

Chest (Large Zonaite). At the Ring Ruins west of the village, a chest sits inside the stone chamber at about (1674, -943, 268). It holds Large Zonaite. Read the Zonai slabs here for Bugut and the Secret of the Ring Ruins quest.

Korok seed (lift the rock, 1694, -929, 310). On the ridge above the ruin, lift the loose boulder with Ultrahand and the Korok underneath hands over its seed.

Korok seed (acorn pot, 1791, -852, 118). In the grass slope beneath the cliff at the north end of the village, an acorn pot is hidden in the grass. Break it for the seed.

Korok seeds x2 (carry the exhausted Korok). An exhausted Korok on East Hill at about (1868, -804, 239) asks to reach its friend at (2174, -567, 211). Pick it up and glide it across on a Zonai Wing with a Fan; both Koroks give a seed.

Chest (Silver Lizal Blade) and Korok seed (acorn pot, 1997, -958, 176). A chest on the grassy slope of East Hill at about (1925, -720, 181) holds a Silver Lizal Blade. Further south at (1997, -958, 176), an acorn pot hides another Korok seed.

Kakariko Village Cave and Cucco Hideaway

Kakariko Village Cave. The entrance is a hole in the rock face at (1947, -981, 157) south of East Hill Chasm. Inside, a Bubbulfrog sits in a side passage near (1995, -943, 138). Catch it for a Bubbul Gem.

Amber and Flint picked up on the cave floor

Cucco Hideaway. The cave mouth is at (1877, -1160, 198) in the hillside south of the village, under a leaning tree trunk. Take Flint or fire arrows for the dark passage. The chest holds a Shield of the Mind’s Eye (some guides place that shield in the Sahasra Slope Cave instead), and a Bubbulfrog sits further in for another Bubbul Gem. To finish Follow the Cuccos, talk to Trissa, wait outside until about 5 AM and follow the Cuccos here, take ten eggs from the nests and bring them back; most guides list a Purple Rupee as the reward.

Quest finish (Codgers’ Quarrel) and chests. Back at the western Ring Ruin, Steen and Olkin are arguing over offence and defence while four Blue Bokoblins hold the ruin; clear them out. Inside the ruin, two chests hold Giant Brightbloom Seed x5 (on the base level) and a Zonaite Sword (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress) behind a wall of boulders. Talk to Steen and Olkin, then to Trissa, to hand in Codgers’ Quarrel.
