How to start A Curious Child

Talk to the child beside the dog in the southwestern corner of Hyrule Castle Town to start the 'A Curious Child' side quest in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. They're the one with the "Zols, Zols, Zols" speech bubble above them.

A Curious Child walkthrough

There are three parts to the 'A Curious Child' side quest. The first requires you to present a Zol Echo to the child in Hyrule Castle Town, then an Ignizol Echo, and finally a Hydrozol Echo - but you also need to make the Hydrozol bigger to complete the quest.

When you find each type of Zol, you must defeat it to learn its Echo. Then, you can present the Echo to the child and move on with the quest.

Where to find Zol

Zols are little green slime-like creatures, and we found our first Zol on Suthorn Beach after escaping Hyrule Castle for the first time.

Where to find Ignizol

Ignizols are white slime-like creatures with a flame coming out of their heads, and we found our first Ignizol in the southern cave in Suthorn Forest.

How to make a Hydrozol bigger

Not satisfied with all the hard work you put in to finding the regular variety, the child in Hyrule Castle Town wants to see a bigger version of a Hydrozol.

Don't worry, there's no need to go hunting for another type of Zol, as all you have to do is use your Hydrozol Echo on a Water Block Echo to make it bigger. The Hydrozol will grow in size, and the child will finally have their Zol curiosity satisfied.

You learn the Water Block Echo within the Stilled Jabul Waters.
