The Acorn Gathering minigame takes place in five locations across Hyrule. Talk to the man wearing an Acorn Cap to compete in these courses. There is a participation fee of 10 Rupees each time you play.
Possibly the easiest of the five Acorn Gathering courses, start by Spinning onto the river and continue Spinning north. You'll need to dive underwater for the fifth and sixth acorns, so time your dive and ascent carefully.
Start by collecting the acorn behind the man, then follow the trail of acorns south. Use a Platboom Echo to reach the fifth and six acorns on the trees, then another to grab the seventh acorn. Jump your way through the remaining acorns in the northwest of the course.
Summon a Platboom Echo on the water and wait for it to ascend to reach the column. Dive in to grab the second acorn near the waterfall, then Spin counterclockwise, diving only for the fourth acorn underwater. Once you reach the lily pad, use a Trampoline Echo to collect the final acorn atop the tree.
Begin with the acorn on the left and just follow along the stone fence to the tenth acorn. Use a Platboom Echo to reach the roof of the chapel and collect the final acorn.
Perhaps the most difficult course in the Acorn Gathering minigame. Head south to the stone wall and follow the acorn trail on the left. After collecting the tenth acorn, move toward the acorn between the two black rocks and go to the tight space on the right. Collect the remaining acorns on the ground before summoning a Platboom Echo to grab the final acorn above.
In the Acorn Gathering minigame, Zelda must collect scattered acorns in an obstacle course within a time limit. These courses test the player's speed and skill in using Echoes to traverse far-reaching areas.
Using Spin gives you a slight boost in movement. Spam Spin as much as possible, both on land and in water, to help Zelda move faster across the course.
Platboom is the essential Echo for every Acorn Gathering minigame. It can be used as an elevator to reach high places and works almost anywhere. Summon Platboom when trying to climb trees, columns, or roofs.
Platboom Echo Location and How to Get
Frog Ring | Effect: Jump Height Up |
---|
The Frog Ring accessory gives Zelda the ability to jump higher. Equip the Frog Ring to reach high terrain, eliminating the need to build makeshift staircases using Echoes. The Frog Ring is found in a treasure chest in one of the dungeon rooms of Hyrule Castle.
Frog Ring Location and How to Get
Some courses take place in water, with one or two acorns located underwater. Stay on the surface by using Spin, and only descend underwater when collecting the submerged acorns.
