How to Start the A Parent’s Love Quest
To begin the A Parent’s Love side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, head behind Ruli’s house to the left of the Slippery Falcon in Tarry Town at night and eavesdrop through the window on their conversation.
How to Complete the A Parent’s Love Quest
You overheard a fight between Hagie and Ruli, husband and wife. Their daughter Hunnie is sick and won’t get better if she doesn’t eat. But the thing is, the only food she has an appetite for is cake, and finding a particular cake to please her has proven nearly impossible. Ruli is at her wits’ end, ready to even trade her soul to a monster if it means finding a cake her daughter will eat.
Find a Suitable Cake
The suitable cake you are looking for is a Monster Cake! To craft Monster Cake, you’ll need to find the following ingredients:
- Monster Extract
- Tabantha Wheat
- Cane Sugar
- Goat Butter
Monster Extract
To obtain the monster extract, travel to Skull Lake in Deep Akkala at night. On the left eye of the skull, you’ll find Kilton, who runs the Fang and Bone shop. Speak with him! He’ll then wander off, so you’ll need to search for him in the following villages at night:
- Kakariko Village
- Hateno Village
- Rito Village
- Zora’s Domain
- Gerudo Town
- Lurelin Village
- Lake Akkala
Once you find Kilton, you’ll need to exchange monster parts to acquire nine mon. Once you’ve gotten nine mon, exchange it for the Monster Extract. You may want to try to pick up a couple to have some extras, just in case.
Tabantha Wheat
If you want to save some rupees, cut the tall grass around the Tabantha Frontier, which is in the southwestern part of Hebra, to find the Tabantha Wheat. To save time, head to Rito Village in Hebra and purchase Tabantha Wheat from Misa’s stall for 12 rupees.
Cane Sugar
You can purchase Cane Sugar for 12 rupees at Misa’s stall in Rito Village, located in the Hebra region.
Goat Butter
Purchase Goat Butter from Misa’s stall in Rito Village, which is located in the Hebra region, for 12 rupees.
Deliver the Monster Cake to Ruli
After crafting the Monster Cake, deliver it to Ruli who will then give it to her daughter. Speak with Ruli again to learn that her daughter ate it! As a reward for helping her, you will receive 300 rupees.
