  • Hidden entrance Look for the Spore Store in Korok Forest and use Ascend to reach the chamber inside the Great Deku Tree.
  • Main activity Oaki asks Link to help decorate the secret room, so there is no stated boss fight or combat objective to prepare for.
  • Reward The Korok Fabric becomes available as the completion reward and can be used to customize the paraglider.

Overview

The Secret Room is a short decorating quest in Korok Forest that introduces Oaki's hidden chamber and awards a paraglider fabric.

The Secret Room takes place in Korok Forest and becomes available after the Great Deku Tree has been cleansed of Gloom. The quest is associated with Oaki, a Korok who has created a private room inside the mouth of the Great Deku Tree. Because the room is hidden within the tree, the quest is easy to overlook even after the forest becomes accessible again.

To reach the room, travel to the Spore Store in Korok Forest and use the Ascend ability to enter the chamber above. The quest is not built around a combat encounter or a conventional dungeon route. Its central task is helping Oaki decorate the secret room, so exploration and finding the concealed entrance are more important than fighting.

Completing The Secret Room grants the Korok Fabric. This reward can be used to customize the paraglider, making the quest useful for players who want a Korok-themed appearance even though the mission itself is optional and relatively compact. The name refers specifically to Oaki's room in Korok Forest, rather than to other hidden rooms elsewhere in the game.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock access to the quest

    Cleanse the Great Deku Tree of Gloom

    Before seeking out The Secret Room, progress until the Great Deku Tree has been cleansed of Gloom. The available source identifies Trail of the Master Sword as the typical way to satisfy this prerequisite, so the quest should not be expected to start before that progression.

    Location: Great Deku Tree

    TipIf Oaki does not offer the activity, check that the Gloom-cleansing progression is complete.

  2. 02

    Reach the quest area

    Travel to Korok Forest

    Return to Korok Forest after the Great Deku Tree is restored. The quest is tied to this location, and the relevant hidden chamber is inside the mouth of the Great Deku Tree rather than in one of the game's other secret-room locations.

    Location: Korok Forest

  3. 03

    Find the entrance route

    Find the Spore Store

    Locate the Spore Store in Korok Forest and use it as the approach point for the concealed room. The access route is easy to miss because the quest's destination is not presented as an obvious exterior doorway.

    Location: Spore Store

    TipSearch around the Spore Store rather than looking for a separate building or cave entrance.

  4. 04

    Enter Oaki's secret room

    Use Ascend to enter the chamber

    From the Spore Store area, activate Ascend to pass into the chamber inside the mouth of the Great Deku Tree. This is the key traversal step: if Ascend does not find a usable surface, adjust Link's position around the store until the hidden room can be reached.

    Location: Inside the mouth of the Great Deku Tree

  5. 05

    Help Oaki decorate the room

    Speak with Oaki and begin the decorating task

    Meet Oaki in the hidden room and follow the quest interaction that asks Link to help decorate it. The mission is a room-decoration activity, so the important progression comes from completing Oaki's request rather than defeating a named enemy.

    Location: Oaki's secret room

  6. 06

    Complete The Secret Room

    Finish the room and collect the reward

    Complete the decorating interaction to finish The Secret Room. Once the quest is complete, the Korok Fabric is awarded and can be selected for paraglider customization; there is no source-supported boss phase or combat finale to clear.

    Location: Oaki's secret room

Mission mechanics

The defining mechanic is traversal through a concealed interior space. The Spore Store acts as the access point, while Ascend lets Link reach the chamber hidden inside the mouth of the Great Deku Tree. This makes the quest a useful reminder that Korok Forest contains spaces that are not reached through an ordinary front entrance.

The quest's activity is decorative rather than combat-focused. Oaki has created the room and asks Link to help decorate it, so players should approach the mission as a character interaction and exploration task. The available source does not identify a combat encounter, puzzle sequence, inventory requirement, or timed section.

The reward connects the quest to the game's paraglider customization system. Korok Fabric is not described here as a weapon or upgrade material; its stated use is changing the paraglider's appearance. That cosmetic outcome is the principal reason to complete the quest after finding the room.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The quest uses Ascend in a location-specific way, making the ability relevant to environmental discovery.

Weaknesses

  • The quest depends on a prerequisite, so players who have not cleansed the Great Deku Tree of Gloom cannot begin it immediately.
  • The room's entrance is easy to overlook because the route begins at the Spore Store and uses Ascend instead of a prominent doorway.
  • The available source material does not describe a substantial combat challenge or a lengthy multi-area mission.

Best uses
