Fish for Fletching overview

Fish for Fletching is a short supply-focused side quest in Rito Village. Bedoli asks Link to provide three Glowing Cave Fish, and the initial exchange awards 10 arrows.

Fish for Fletching takes place in Rito Village after the major events connected to Tulin of Rito Village and the Wind Temple. Rather than sending Link through a combat encounter or a long chain of objectives, the quest centers on finding a particular cave fish and returning it to Bedoli, a female Rito positioned near crates on an outcropping in the village.

The required items are three Glowing Cave Fish. These fish are found in caves and wells across Hyrule, including West Lake Totori Cave, so the quest does not require a single unique fishing location. If Link already has enough Glowing Cave Fish in his inventory, the exchange can be completed without making a separate search for a new source.

Bedoli's initial trade gives Link 10 arrows for the three fish. After that request is completed, she can continue trading arrows for other supplies, including chillfin trout and brightcaps. This makes Fish for Fletching more useful as a repeatable supply stop than as a one-time reward, especially when Link is short on arrows.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock Fish for Fletching

    TipReturn to Bedoli when your arrow supply is low and you have surplus trade items available.

Mission mechanics

The central mechanic is an item-for-ammunition exchange. The opening request has a fixed requirement of three Glowing Cave Fish, while the reward is 10 arrows. This means the quest is solved through exploration and inventory management rather than by defeating a named enemy, clearing a dungeon, or following a combat-heavy objective chain.

Glowing Cave Fish are not limited to the immediate Rito Village area. Wells and caves throughout Hyrule can contain them, and West Lake Totori Cave is specifically identified as one source. Because the fish may already be in Link's inventory, checking supplies before travelling can reduce unnecessary backtracking.

Once the first request has been handled, Bedoli's role expands into a continuing arrow-trading option. The follow-up trades use other items, including chillfin trout and brightcaps, so the value of the quest changes from a single reward into a convenient way to convert surplus exploration materials into arrows.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The required fish can be found in multiple caves and wells rather than at one exclusive quest location.
  • The initial reward directly restores arrows, making the exchange useful for players who rely on bows.
  • The follow-up trades give the quest continuing value after the opening request is complete.
  • The quest is centered in Rito Village and does not require a separate combat encounter.

Weaknesses

  • The quest cannot be started until Tulin of Rito Village and the Wind Temple are complete.
  • Players without three Glowing Cave Fish must leave the village to search caves or wells.
  • The value of the later trades depends on whether the player has surplus chillfin trout, brightcaps, or other requested items.

Best uses

  • Complete the opening exchange when arrows are running low.
  • Use Bedoli as a later arrow-supply stop after gathering extra trade materials during exploration.

Failure conditions

  • The prerequisite story is incompleteBedoli's request is not available until Tulin of Rito Village and the Wind Temple have been completed.
  • Fewer than three Glowing Cave Fish are availableThe initial exchange requires three fish, so Link must collect more before the trade can be completed.

On failure

No permanent quest failure condition is established in the supplied facts. The known obstacle is simply meeting the unlock and inventory requirements.

Rewards

  • 10 arrows
    Bedoli gives Link 10 arrows for the initial trade of three Glowing Cave Fish.
  • Additional arrow trades
    After the first exchange, Bedoli offers further arrow trades for other items, including chillfin trout and brightcaps.

Aftermath

Keep Bedoli in mind when arrows run low

The opening exchange is only the start of Bedoli's usefulness. After completing it, return to her when you have surplus trade materials, since her later exchanges can turn items such as chillfin trout and brightcaps into more arrows.

Trivia

  • Fish for Fletching is located in Rito Village rather than being tied to a remote cave or dungeon.
  • The quest's opening request uses Glowing Cave Fish, while later trades broaden the supply list to items such as chillfin trout and brightcaps.
  • Its practical purpose is to provide an arrow-farming option for players who are short on ammunition.
