Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Elusive Tumbleweeds Guide

Princess Zelda meets a researcher in Gerudo Town who is interested in studying the fragile tumbleweeds found in the desert. These tumbleweeds break apart easily, posing a challenge for anyone trying to handle them.

Zelda and Tri, however, are uniquely equipped to solve this problem, even though neither of them realizes it yet!

At this early stage of the game, figuring out how to maneuver a tumbleweed into Gerudo Town can be tricky. Here’s how you can locate and transport one:

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Elusive Tumbleweeds

To bring a tumbleweed to the Gerudo researcher, you first need to find one. Luckily, there are two spawns near the main gate of Gerudo Town – one straight down from the gate and the other to the left around the town’s walls.

Once you’ve found a tumbleweed in the Gerudo Desert, get as close as possible and use Tri to possess it by pressing X. This freezes the tumbleweed in time, allowing you to move it without breaking.

Be careful not to let the tumbleweed touch any person or hard surface as it will still break. Get as close as possible and position it behind you on your right before heading towards Gerudo Town.

Line up the tumbleweed next to a brazier in Gerudo Town and release it to roll towards the researcher. Grab it before it touches anything and show it to the researcher to complete the side quest.

For your efforts, you will be rewarded with two Might Crystals. With the side quest completed, you can continue with the main quest towards the Gerudo Sanctum.
