Quick Links
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features many different types of activities. You have your Main Quest, Side Quests, and Side Adventures — just to name a few of them. Some have very hard enemies you will need to overcome in order to clear them, but this one lets you run past every single enemy as you navigate a rather tricky swamp area that is easy to get turned around in.
This guide will provide you with plenty of markers and images to help you along this journey. You will touch a shrine shortly into this guide; if you get lost or turned around, just fast travel to this shrine and back to the previous marker.
Starting The Quest
This quest will be added to your log once you finish speaking with the Korok named Damia. They will be standing along the trail that connects Mido Swamp to Korok Forest. Once the quest is added, turn left and begin running towards Mido Swamp. Take a right at the first big tree, and you will come to the Pupunke Shrine. Interacting with it will display some text on the screen, followed by it creating a green beam of energy.
You can use this shrine to fast travel back and save yourself a lot of time.
Reaching the Third Fence
Backtrack the direction you came from and then turn right so that you pass the tree you turned at. Head straight down this trail that is heading away from Damia. Keep running, and you will see a fence and a tree with a scary face come into view. When the trees with apples on them start to rip themselves out of the ground, take a right turn and keep running.
You will come to some skeletal enemies near a second fence. Run past them, and a third larger skeletal enemy will emerge. Just run past it and keep heading in a straight line. You will come to another fence with a bog to its left.
Clearing The Bog From Above
Normally, you are expected to cross the bog by moving a plank around, but you can just glide over it from the trees above if you know where you are going. Climb the tree to the left of this fence, all the way to the top. Look in the direction opposite the fence. You will see two more trees, just like the one you are standing on now. From the first tree, jump and glide to the second and then onto the third one.
On the third tree opposite the fence, look down and to the left. You will see a fenced-off square area.
Getting Some Golden Apples
Once you land in this fenced-off area, climb the tree to the left of the opened gate. Turn right and you will see some logs.
Glide on over to the last log, and go left to the piece of land on the other side. Turn left and run past the bean pods, and you will see some trees with golden apples on them.
Cut down these trees and pick up the apples. These golden apples are indeed the nearest ones to the quest, making them the ideal choice if you want to complete this quest as quickly as possible. However, if you find yourself wanting more golden apples if the future, there are several other locations you can visit to get your hands on them.
Fast travel to the Pupunke Shrine you activated earlier, backtrack to Damia, and talk with them to update the quest. Pick up the glowing green stone next to them and take it back to the Pupunke Shrine. This will complete the quest.
