How to Complete
1
Head inside the house beside where you found the Zora child. You'll find the child's mom inside, talk to her and she will ask you to bring her some monsters.
2
First, she wants a monster that looks like a "sinister fish". Summon a Tangler echo in the pool right next to her to accomplish this step.
3
Next, she'll ask for a "monster that goes BOOM when anyone goes near it". A Bombfish echo in the pool will do the job.
4
Lastly, she'll ask for a "shocking jellyfish monster". Bring out a Biri echo to finish the quest.
5
A cutscene will then play showing the mother giving her son a charm to help him swim. Afterwards, the mother will reward you with the same charm called the Zora Scale.
