What You'll Learn
Complete the 'A Letter to Koyin' side quest
To complete the "A Letter to Koyin" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players must first locate Koyin in Hateno Village. Koyin can be found standing by a pond near Hateno Ranch, east of Hateno Village, or at Hateno Pasture, up the hill from the village.
Once you've found Koyin, speak to her to initiate the quest. She will explain that she needs help retrieving a message in a bottle that is floating in the pond. The bottle is located quite far into the lake, so players will need to get creative to figure out how to reach it. One way to do this is by cutting down nearby trees to create logs, using Ultrahand to attach them together to form a long staff, and then extending it into the water to reach the bottle. Players can also detach the bottle from the pole and drop it next to Koyin.
After retrieving the bottle, players should speak to Koyin again. She will read the message, which contains a recipe for Hateno Cheese. Koyin will then invite the player to her house, where she will give them a piece of Hateno Cheese as a reward. Players can now choose to sell Fresh Milk for 20 Rupees or trade it for Hateno Cheese. Completing this side quest also helps with the Mayoral Election quest line, as the cheese can be presented to Acting Mayor Reede as part of the "A New Signature Food" side adventure.
Additionally, there are alternative methods to retrieve the bottle. Players can use White Chuchu jelly or something similar with freezing properties to create a platform in the water, saving them from building a long bridge or staff. Another option is to create a raft by fusing logs together and using Ultrahand to lift and position it close to the bottle.
