Key takeaways

The quest is straightforward once its transport requirement is understood.

  • Complete the prerequisite The Blue Stone becomes available after Sidon of the Zora has been completed.
  • Start at East Reservoir Lake Speak with Ledo at East Reservoir Lake to begin the quest and learn why the stone is needed.
  • Build a transport craft Use nearby Zonai devices and building materials, including fans, steering wheels, and planks, to make a boat for the stone.
  • Deliver the stone manually The stone cannot be placed in Link's inventory, so it must be moved across the water as a physical object.
  • Claim the reward Ledo gives Link Zora Fabric after the stone is successfully delivered. Kochi's Dye Shop in Hateno Village can use the fabric to customize the paraglider's appearance.

The Blue Stone quest guide

Transport a blue stone from Reservoir Lakefront Cavern to Ledo at East Reservoir Lake to help repair Mipha Court.

The Blue Stone is a side quest that becomes available after Link completes Sidon of the Zora. The quest begins when Link speaks with Ledo at East Reservoir Lake, where Ledo explains that a literal blue stone is needed to help repair Mipha Court. The objective is not completed by simply collecting an item into the inventory: the stone must be moved manually from its cavern location to Ledo.

The blue stone is too heavy for Link to carry in his inventory, so the central challenge is finding a practical way to transport it across the water. Nearby Zonai devices provide the intended solution. Fans, steering wheels, and planks can be combined into a boat, allowing the stone to be moved over the lake rather than carried through the water by hand.

After the stone reaches Ledo, the quest is completed and Link receives Zora Fabric. This reward has a use beyond the quest itself: it can be taken to Kochi's Dye Shop in Hateno Village to customize the appearance of Link's paraglider. The quest therefore combines a short delivery objective with a simple Ultrahand-style construction problem.

Objectives

  1. Speak with Ledo at East Reservoir LakeLedo is the character who starts The Blue Stone and explains the repair task.
  2. Find the blue stone in Reservoir Lakefront CavernThe required stone is located in the nearby cavern rather than being supplied directly by Ledo.
  3. Transport the blue stone across the waterUse a manual construction solution because the stone cannot be stored in Link's inventory.
  4. Deliver the blue stone to LedoThe quest is completed when the stone reaches the quest giver.
  5. Collect Zora FabricLedo awards this fabric after the delivery.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock The Blue Stone

    Complete Sidon of the Zora

    Finish Sidon of the Zora before looking for The Blue Stone. The side quest does not become available until this prerequisite has been completed, so Ledo will not serve as the starting point for this task beforehand.

    TipIf Ledo does not offer the quest, check that Sidon of the Zora is complete rather than assuming the quest is permanently unavailable.

  2. 02

    Begin The Blue Stone

    Speak with Ledo at East Reservoir Lake

    Travel to East Reservoir Lake and talk to the Zora named Ledo. This conversation starts The Blue Stone and establishes that a literal blue stone is needed to help repair Mipha Court.

    Location: East Reservoir Lake

    Checkpoint
  3. 03

    Locate the blue stone

    Enter Reservoir Lakefront Cavern

    Go to the nearby Reservoir Lakefront Cavern to locate the quest item. The blue stone is found there, so search this cavern rather than looking for a loose blue item around Ledo's position.

    Location: Reservoir Lakefront Cavern

  4. 04

    Construct a transport platform

    Prepare a way to move the stone

    The stone is too heavy to carry in Link's inventory, which means the delivery must be handled as a physical transport task. Use the nearby planks and Zonai devices to create a platform or boat capable of carrying the stone.

    TipA simple build is sufficient; the important requirement is that the stone has a stable surface and can be moved across the water.

    Watch outDo not plan the route around placing the stone in the inventory. Its weight prevents that shortcut.

  5. 05

    Make the boat controllable

    Add propulsion and steering

    Fans can provide movement, while a steering wheel can help guide the craft. Attach these devices to the planks in a functional arrangement before loading the stone, since rebuilding after the load is added can be more awkward.

    TipTest the craft before committing to the crossing so you can confirm that it moves in the intended direction.

  6. 06

    Secure the blue stone

    Load the blue stone onto the boat

    Place the blue stone on the constructed craft using Link's building ability. Keep it secured on the platform so it does not slide away or fall into the water during transport.

    Watch outThe delivery depends on the stone reaching Ledo as an object; losing it in the water can interrupt the transport attempt.

  7. 07

    Transport the stone across the water

    Cross the water to Ledo

    Operate the boat and move the stone across the water toward East Reservoir Lake. Fans, steering, and a stable plank base are the relevant tools for this section; the source material does not establish a required route or a specific launch point.

    Location: East Reservoir Lake

    TipUse deliberate steering rather than excessive movement, because maintaining the craft's balance is more important than speed.

  8. 08

    Complete the delivery

    Deliver the stone to Ledo

    Bring the blue stone back to Ledo and complete the delivery. Once the stone has been successfully delivered, the repair objective is fulfilled and the quest can be concluded through the conversation with Ledo.

    Location: East Reservoir Lake

    Checkpoint
  9. 09

    Claim the quest reward

    Receive Zora Fabric

    After the successful delivery, collect the Zora Fabric reward from Ledo. The fabric is a customization item rather than a transport component, and it can later be used at Kochi's Dye Shop in Hateno Village.

    Watch outThe supplied material does not identify any additional reward or separate completion condition beyond receiving Zora Fabric.

Mission mechanics

The Blue Stone is built around object transport rather than combat. The quest item is a literal blue stone from Reservoir Lakefront Cavern, and its weight prevents Link from carrying it in the inventory. That restriction makes the stone behave like a physical cargo object that must remain present throughout the journey.

The nearby Zonai-device setup supports a boat solution. Planks provide a base, fans can propel it, and a steering wheel can help direct it. The exact construction is left open, so players can adapt the craft to the materials available around the lake instead of following a single required blueprint.

The most important practical consideration is stability. The stone needs to remain on the craft while it crosses the water, and the boat needs enough control to reach Ledo. Once the stone is delivered, the construction challenge is over and the quest transitions to its reward conversation.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The objective is clearly tied to Mipha Court's repair, giving the delivery a specific purpose.
  • The quest makes use of nearby Zonai devices rather than requiring a single prescribed vehicle.
  • The physical weight of the stone creates a distinct transport problem instead of turning the quest into a normal inventory fetch.

Weaknesses

  • The stone cannot be carried in Link's inventory, so an ordinary collect-and-return approach does not work.
  • A poorly secured stone or unstable boat can make the water crossing more difficult.
  • The supplied sources do not document a single optimal boat design or a fixed route across the water.

Best uses

  • Build a stable craft before loading the stone.
  • Use fans for propulsion and a steering wheel for control when those devices are available.
  • Treat the stone as cargo and keep it on the boat throughout the crossing.

Aftermath

Use the reward for paraglider customization

Zora Fabric is not only a quest-completion reward. Take it to Kochi's Dye Shop in Hateno Village, where it can be used to customize the appearance of Link's paraglider.

Trivia

  • The quest requires a literal blue stone rather than an inventory item that represents a stone.
  • The transport problem showcases the use of nearby Zonai devices, with fans, steering wheels, and planks serving as the key construction examples.
  • The reward connects a Zora-related quest to paraglider customization through Kochi's Dye Shop in Hateno Village.
