Zelda Echoes of Wisdom Elusive Tumbleweeds walkthrough

In the game Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, players must drag a tumbleweed to a Gerudo woman in Gerudo Town to complete the side quest titled ‘Elusive Tumbleweeds‘. This task may seem simple, but the surrounding tumbleweeds are fragile and can easily break upon contact with the environment. Below is a comprehensive walkthrough for the Elusive Tumbleweeds quest, including how to initiate the quest and the rewards you can earn.

How to Start Elusive Tumbleweeds

To begin the ‘Elusive Tumbleweeds’ side quest, speak to the Gerudo woman located on the staircase just north of a black cat in the western part of Gerudo Town. You will naturally encounter this area while progressing through the main quest titled ‘A Rift in Gerudo Desert’.

Your main objective is to grab a tumbleweed and return it to the Gerudo woman to complete the quest. However, due to the delicate nature of the tumbleweeds, extra care is needed during the retrieval process.

Start by heading down the western path adjacent to Gerudo Town. Here, you will find tumbleweeds blowing northwards. Position your character on the north side of a tumbleweed and utilize the Tri Rod to grab it and hold it steady. Carefully make your way north towards Gerudo Town, being cautious not to collide with any objects as this could cause the tumbleweed to break.

If you encounter difficulties navigating the narrow staircases, try jumping while moving upward to help Zelda and the tumbleweed progress forward.

As you approach the staircase leading into Gerudo Town, ensure that you reposition Zelda as close as possible to the tumbleweed, again on the north side. This positioning is crucial because both Zelda and the tumbleweed need to fit on the staircase without risking damage to the tumbleweed.

If you need to adjust your position, press ‘ZR’ to release the tumbleweed, then quickly move closer and re-grab it with the Tri Rod. Your final task is to carefully transport the tumbleweed back to the Gerudo woman from whom you accepted the quest to complete the ‘Elusive Tumbleweeds’ side quest.
