A Curious Child Walkthrough

Zols are one of the weaker monsters in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and you'll need to learn three types of Echoes to complete a side quest. "A Curious Child" becomes available after you clear Hyrule Castle of its rifts. A young boy will ask to see a regular Zol, an Ignizol, and a Hydrozol. Of course, it would be dangerous and tedious to drag a Zol across Hyrule just for one side quest. Luckily, the Echo ability allows you to replicate objects and enemies, making it "safer" for Hyrule's residents. You'll need to learn the Echo for each Zol and show them to the child. It's an easy side quest that you can complete before continuing your Echoes of Wisdom journey.

Where to Find Every Type of Zol

After Zelda gets her new look and has her reputation restored, you can roam Hyrule Castle and Hyrule Castle Town to your heart's content. Before you leave Castle Town, you should look to the southwest corner. There's a house with a brown roof in front of the well you used to enter the castle during the rift. There's a young boy with a "red" quest icon over his head. Speak to him to start "A Curious Child" side quest.

Part 1: Zol Location in Echoes of Wisdom

The boy wants to see a Zol, which are those green blob monsters you found on Suthorn Shore. In fact, it's probably the first monster you've registered in your Notebook. If, for some reason, you don't have the Zol Echo, then warp to Suthorn Village and take the left exit to Suthorn Shore, or take the right exit to find Zols roaming the tall grass.

Part 2: Ignizol Location in Echoes of Wisdom

After showing him the Zol Echo, he'll ask for an Ignizol and then a Hydrozol. It's likely you already have the Ignizol at this point in your playthrough. If not, you can find one in a cave to the east of Suthorn Village or in Zora Cove.

Warp to Suthorn Village and follow the eastern road that you took to the Suthorn Ruins. If you look at the northern wall, you'll see a cave entrance. Inside, you'll find regular Zols and an Ignizol. Defeat the Ignizol to Learn its Echo. Since Ignizol's light everything on fire, you'll want to be careful. If Zelda gets burned, tap the R-button to put the flames out. You can refer to the exact location on the image above (Zelda icon).

Part 3: Hydrozol Location in Echoes of Wisdom

As for the Hydrozol, you'll have to go an extra step. The boy doesn't just want to see the Hydrozol Echo; he wants to see a "large" Hydrozol. After learning the Echo, place it in the fountain in Hyrule Castle Town to make it grow. Alternatively, you can use the Water Block Echo. Once it's absorbed enough water, carry it to the boy to complete the side quest.

Hydrozols, as their name indicates, can be found near or in areas with water. Because of this, you may find one when you embark towards Jabul Ruins. From Seesyde Village, swim southwest to Zora Cove and you'll find a cave entrance. You'll know if this is the right one if you can see the shipwreck a little way south of the cave. Go inside, and you'll find all three types of Zols. Hydrozols will grow larger if they touch water, but they're still pretty weak. A strong Echo should be enough to wipe them out in one hit. This cave can be tricky to spot, so refer to Zelda's icon on the above (map) image for its exact location.

Hydrozols can also be found in the Faron Wetlands during the "A Rift in the Faron Wetlands" main quest. However, if you want to register the Hydrozol as soon as possible, get the one from the Zora Cove Cave.

A Curious Child Reward

What to Do with Might Crystals?

The reward for "A Curious Child" is a Might Crystal. You can use these to upgrade your Swordfighter Form (ie: energy, sword, bow, and bombs). You'll also need to complete this side quest in order to unlock the late-game quest: "An Out-There Zol." This quest requires the completion of several other quests before you can find the mysterious Gizmol. Unlike "A Curious Child," "An Out-There Zol" rewards you with a Piece of Heart if you manage to complete it.
