  • Search the Kakariko Village Cave The required Hearty Truffle can be collected inside the Kakariko Village Cave. This is the item-search portion of the quest.
  • Return to the innkeeper The innkeeper is at a Survey Team campsite near the Ring Ruins. Bring the Hearty Truffle to the innkeeper to complete the objective.

Overview

Out of the Inn is a side quest in Kakariko Village where Link helps restore the Shuteye Inn's normal operation by locating the innkeeper and finding a Hearty Truffle.

The quest begins at the Shuteye Inn in Kakariko Village. Speak with Dai, the man behind the counter, to learn that the innkeeper is not currently at the inn. This conversation establishes the central task: track down the absent innkeeper rather than attempting to progress the quest solely from the inn's counter.

The innkeeper can be found at a Survey Team campsite near the Ring Ruins. The campsite is the important destination for the search portion of the quest, while the Ring Ruins provide the nearby landmark used to identify the area. The quest does not require Link to locate the innkeeper inside the village itself.

A Hearty Truffle is also needed to wake the innkeeper. The supplied quest information identifies the Kakariko Village Cave as a place where Hearty Truffles can be collected, so searching that cave provides the material needed for the final objective. Once the truffle has been obtained, bring it to the innkeeper to complete the quest objective.

  3. 03

    Find the innkeeper

    Search the Survey Team campsite near the Ring Ruins for the innkeeper. The quest's search target is at this campsite, so finding the correct camp is more important than continuing to look around Kakariko Village.

Mission mechanics

Out of the Inn is structured around a character search followed by an item retrieval. Dai supplies the starting information at the Shuteye Inn, but the innkeeper is located away from the village inn at a Survey Team campsite near the Ring Ruins.

The quest's item requirement is specific: a Hearty Truffle is needed to wake the innkeeper. The Kakariko Village Cave is identified as a collection location, making it the relevant place to search when the truffle is not already available in the player's inventory.

Completion is handled through delivery rather than a separate combat objective. After collecting the Hearty Truffle, take it to the innkeeper at the campsite and give it to them to finish the quest objective.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The quest gives the search area a clear landmark by identifying the campsite near the Ring Ruins.
  • The required item has a named source location in the Kakariko Village Cave.
  • The final objective is straightforward: bring the Hearty Truffle to the innkeeper.

Weaknesses

  • The supplied information does not provide a precise route from the Shuteye Inn to the campsite or cave.
  • The innkeeper's personal name is not provided, so the target is identified by role rather than by name.
  • The source pack does not state the quest's reward or an estimated completion time.

Best uses

  • Use the Ring Ruins to narrow the search for the innkeeper's campsite.
  • Check the Kakariko Village Cave when a Hearty Truffle is needed for the objective.
  • Return to the innkeeper after collecting the item rather than bringing it back to Dai.
