Key takeaways

The quest is straightforward in concept but can become difficult when the underground route is poorly lit or when an eye is dropped in an inconvenient position.

  • Start at the Temple of Time Ruins Speak with the mysterious Goddess Statue at the Temple of Time Ruins on the Great Plateau to begin the side adventure.
  • Recover four eyes The quest requires four eyes to be located and returned rather than a single item being delivered.
  • Plan for the Depths The eyes must be transported through the darkness of the Depths, so light sources and a cautious route are more valuable than rushing.
  • Choose the final upgrade carefully Completion provides either a full Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel. Select the one that best matches Link’s immediate needs.

A Call from the Depths overview

A Call from the Depths is an exploration-focused side adventure that links the Great Plateau with the underground Depths.

A Call from the Depths begins at the Temple of Time Ruins on the Great Plateau, where Link can assist a mysterious Goddess Statue that asks for help. The quest is structured around investigation rather than a conventional dungeon route: the statue points Link toward a task involving four eyes and a giant Bargainer Statue below the surface.

The central challenge is moving through the darkness of the Depths while locating and transporting the four eyes. Each eye must be recovered from the Great Plateau area and taken down into the underground region, so the quest rewards players who prepare for limited visibility and who treat the surface and underground maps as connected parts of one route.

The adventure concludes when the four eyes have been returned to the giant Bargainer Statue. Its reward is a choice between a full Heart Container and a Stamina Vessel, making the quest useful for either a more durable Link or a larger stamina reserve. The choice is permanent for that completion, so decide which upgrade better suits the current build before claiming it.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Begin A Call from the Depths

    Travel to the Temple of Time Ruins

    Go to the Temple of Time Ruins on the Great Plateau and look for the Goddess Statue connected to the quest. Interact with the statue to hear the request and activate the search for the four eyes.

    Location: Temple of Time Ruins, Great Plateau

    TipLight the area and make sure you are ready for a multi-part trip before leaving the ruins.

  2. 02

    Accept the statue’s task

    Listen to the Goddess Statue’s request

    The mysterious Goddess Statue explains that Link must help by recovering four eyes and returning them to a giant Bargainer Statue. Treat this conversation as the quest’s route clue: the surface search and underground delivery are both required.

    Location: Temple of Time Ruins

  3. 03

    Locate four eyes

    Search the Great Plateau for the eyes

    Explore the Great Plateau and identify each of the four eyes associated with the request. The quest does not finish when the first eye is found, so keep track of the recovered objects and avoid assuming that one delivery completes the objective.

    Location: Great Plateau

    TipUse the surface landmarks and the entrances into the Depths to organize the search instead of wandering underground without a plan.

  4. 04

    Begin transporting an eye

    Move an eye to an underground entrance

    Take one recovered eye to an entrance leading into the Depths and position it so it can be transported below. The important part is maintaining control of the eye during the descent; dropping it in a difficult spot can turn a short move into a longer recovery.

    Location: Great Plateau and a connected entrance to the Depths

    Watch outDo not leave an eye behind after finding it. The quest requires all four eyes to reach the giant Bargainer Statue.

  5. 05

    Transport the eye underground

    Navigate the darkness of the Depths

    Follow the underground route with the eye while illuminating the terrain ahead. Watch for changes in elevation and concealed obstacles, because the darkness makes it easy to lose sight of both the object and the safest path.

    Location: Depths

    TipPlace light sources ahead of your route before committing to a long carry, especially when the terrain drops or the eye must be moved around obstacles.

  6. 06

    Deliver the remaining three eyes

    Repeat the recovery and delivery process

    Return to the Great Plateau for the remaining eyes, then transport each one through the Depths in the same way. Keep the four deliveries separate in your notes or route planning so a previously completed trip is not mistaken for the full objective.

    Location: Great Plateau and Depths

    Checkpoint
  7. 07

    Complete the delivery

    Return all four eyes to the giant Bargainer Statue

    Bring the recovered eyes to the giant Bargainer Statue in the Depths and place or return them as requested. The completion condition is tied to all four eyes being delivered, so check the quest state after the final placement rather than leaving after an earlier delivery.

    Location: Depths, at the giant Bargainer Statue

  8. 08

    Claim the reward

    Select the completion reward

    After the four eyes have been returned, claim the offered upgrade. Choose the full Heart Container for additional health or the Stamina Vessel for additional stamina, depending on which resource is more useful for your current exploration and combat plans.

    Location: Giant Bargainer Statue

    Watch outThe supplied material identifies a choice between the two upgrades but does not document a later way to exchange this selection.

Mission mechanics

A Call from the Depths is built around object recovery and delivery rather than a sequence of mandatory fights. The four eyes are found in the Great Plateau area, but their destination is underground, so the player must repeatedly solve the practical problem of getting a surface object into the Depths and then keeping it on course through unlit terrain.

Darkness is the defining environmental pressure. Without a clear view, an eye can be misplaced near a drop, hidden behind terrain, or left outside the player’s intended route. Lighting the path in stages makes the delivery easier to manage and also helps reveal the shape of the surrounding ground before the object is moved.

The quest’s final interaction provides a meaningful progression choice without changing the quest’s basic completion requirement. A Heart Container supports players who want more room for mistakes, while a Stamina Vessel supports climbing, gliding, swimming, and other activities that benefit from a larger stamina reserve.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • Connects a recognizable surface region with the Depths, encouraging players to read the two spaces as one connected exploration route.
  • Offers a clear objective involving four recoverable eyes rather than an opaque collection task.
  • Ends with a useful choice between health and stamina progression.

Weaknesses

  • The repeated transport trips can feel slow if the player has not prepared a lit route through the Depths.
  • The darkness can make object handling and navigation harder than the quest’s simple objective wording suggests.
  • The supplied sources do not establish a precise route for every eye, so players seeking exact turn-by-turn directions may need an external map.

Best uses

  • Complete it when planning a wider Great Plateau or Depths exploration session.
  • Choose the Heart Container when survivability is the immediate priority.
  • Choose the Stamina Vessel when mobility and traversal are more important than extra health.

Checklist

  • Visit the Temple of Time Ruins on the Great Plateau.This is where the quest begins.
  • Interact with the mysterious Goddess Statue.Hear and accept the request before starting the search.
  • Locate the first eye.Record where you found it before moving on.
  • Locate the remaining three eyes.The quest requires four eyes in total.
  • Prepare a lighted route through the Depths.Darkness is the main environmental complication.
  • Transport each eye underground.Do not treat finding an eye as the same as delivering it.
  • Return all four eyes to the giant Bargainer Statue.Completion requires the full set.
  • Choose either a full Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel.Select the upgrade that best fits your current build.

Failure conditions

  • Leaving an eye behindFinding one of the eyes does not satisfy the complete objective. All four must be transported and returned to the giant Bargainer Statue.
  • Losing track of an eye in the DepthsAn eye can become difficult to recover if it is moved into darkness or over uneven terrain. Illuminate the route and reposition it carefully rather than rushing the delivery.
  • Attempting to finish without the final deliveryThe quest remains incomplete until the eyes reach the giant Bargainer Statue. Returning to the surface after only part of the task will not award the final upgrade.

On failure

The supplied material does not document exact reload checkpoints or a unique game-over condition for this quest. If an eye is misplaced, retrace the route and search the last area where it was moved.

Rewards

  • Full Heart Container
    One of the two completion rewards offered after the four eyes are returned.
  • Stamina Vessel
    The alternative completion reward offered after the four eyes are returned.
