Key takeaways

The important points to remember before entering the cave are the prerequisite, the quest’s two starting points, and the need to prepare a working watercraft.

  • Complete the prerequisite True Treasure is available after completing Sidon of the Zora, so it will not serve as an early-game introduction to the Zora region’s questing.
  • Choose either starting point Speak with Kodah at the inn in Zora’s Domain, or locate Sasan at Tarm Point Cave to begin the quest.
  • Build for the crossing The flooded cavern requires an Ultrahand-built raft with a makeshift fan. Wooden sticks and Korok Fronds are among the materials identified for creating the fan.
  • Look for the shrine outcome The quest concludes with the discovery of Yomizuk Shrine. The shrine is a Rauru’s Blessing, making the successful cave crossing the key step toward the reward.

True Treasure overview

True Treasure is a side quest about an ancient treasure text, a worried mother, and a dangerous trip through the water-filled Tarm Point Cave.

True Treasure becomes available after Link completes the Sidon of the Zora main quest. The quest can be started by speaking with Kodah at the inn in Zora’s Domain or by finding Sasan at Tarm Point Cave, giving the player more than one way to discover the problem and begin helping the characters involved.

Kodah is concerned because her daughter, Finley, and Finley’s friend, Sasan, have gone to Tarm Point seeking treasure described in an ancient text. The central task is not a conventional combat encounter: Link must help Sasan travel across the cavern’s flooded section and reach Finley.

The cave crossing is built around Ultrahand. Link uses it to position a raft and attach a makeshift fan assembled from materials such as wooden sticks and Korok Fronds, then uses the resulting craft to navigate the water. Completing the quest leads to the discovery of Yomizuk Shrine, which is a Rauru’s Blessing and serves as the quest’s principal payoff.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock True Treasure

    Finish the prerequisite main quest

    Complete Sidon of the Zora before looking for True Treasure. The quest is tied to the Zora storyline and is not presented as an available early-game side quest in the supplied material.

    TipIf Kodah does not offer the quest, verify that Sidon of the Zora has been completed.

  2. 02

    Learn about Finley and Sasan

    Start the quest from Zora’s Domain

    Travel to the inn in Zora’s Domain and speak with Kodah. She explains that she is worried about her daughter, Finley, and Sasan, who have gone to Tarm Point in search of treasure described in an ancient text.

    Location: Zora’s Domain inn

  3. 03

    Locate Sasan

    Use the alternate discovery route if needed

    Instead of beginning with Kodah, find Sasan at Tarm Point Cave. Speaking with Sasan there also provides a way to accept or advance True Treasure, so the cave itself can function as the quest’s starting point.

    Location: Tarm Point Cave

    TipThe two stated starting points are Kodah at the inn and Sasan at Tarm Point Cave.

  4. 04

    Reach the water crossing

    Enter the flooded cavern

    Proceed into Tarm Point Cave and identify the water-filled section that blocks the route. The important obstacle is the crossing itself, so prepare the vehicle before attempting to move Sasan over the water.

    Location: Tarm Point Cave

  5. 05

    Prepare the raft

    Position the raft with Ultrahand

    Use Ultrahand to place the raft in the water so it forms a usable path across the flooded cavern. Check that the raft is aligned for travel before attaching the propulsion component, because poor placement can make the crossing harder to control.

    Location: Water-filled section of Tarm Point Cave

    Watch outThe quest’s central traversal challenge depends on a functioning raft, so do not treat the water section as a normal walking route.

  6. 06

    Add propulsion to the raft

    Create and attach the makeshift fan

    Use available materials to create a makeshift fan, with wooden sticks and Korok Fronds identified as examples of materials used in the construction. Attach the fan to the raft with Ultrahand so the craft can move through the cavern.

    Location: Water-filled section of Tarm Point Cave

    TipAttach the fan securely and orient the craft before setting out; the source material does not specify a single mandatory construction layout.

  7. 07

    Help Sasan cross the water

    Navigate across the cavern

    Use the completed raft to travel over the water and help Sasan cross the cavern. Keep the craft directed toward the route to Finley and correct its position with Ultrahand if the vehicle does not line up with the passage.

    Location: Tarm Point Cave

    Watch outThe supplied material does not identify a separate combat encounter or a named timed section, so the documented failure risk is losing progress during the water crossing rather than defeating a boss.

  8. 08

    Reach Finley

    Reunite Sasan with Finley

    Continue the crossing until Sasan reaches Finley. This reunion resolves the immediate problem that brought the characters to Tarm Point and completes the quest’s character-focused objective.

    Location: Tarm Point Cave

  9. 09

    Complete True Treasure

    Discover Yomizuk Shrine

    After the cave objective is successfully completed, follow through to the discovery of Yomizuk Shrine. The shrine is a Rauru’s Blessing, providing the quest’s stated shrine reward and marking the end of the treasure search.

    Location: Yomizuk Shrine

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

True Treasure is primarily an Ultrahand construction and navigation quest. Its defining interaction is the conversion of a simple raft into a powered craft capable of crossing the water-filled portion of Tarm Point Cave.

The makeshift fan is assembled by fusing materials, and the supplied example materials include wooden sticks and Korok Fronds. Because the source does not prescribe a precise blueprint, the essential requirement is functional rather than decorative: place the raft with Ultrahand, attach the fan, and use the craft to move Sasan across the cavern.

The quest’s structure also lets the player encounter it through either a settlement conversation or direct cave exploration. Kodah provides the concern and context at the Zora’s Domain inn, while finding Sasan at Tarm Point Cave brings the player directly to the physical problem that must be solved.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The quest gives players two documented entry points: Kodah at the Zora’s Domain inn or Sasan at Tarm Point Cave.
  • Its main obstacle uses Ultrahand in a practical way, turning construction into the solution for an exploration problem.
  • The shrine discovery gives the cave crossing a clear destination and a tangible completion point.

Weaknesses

  • The water crossing depends on building and positioning a workable raft, which may be less direct than a standard on-foot route.
  • The supplied material does not document a fixed construction design, exact cave map, or detailed enemy roster, so a fully prescriptive route cannot be confirmed.

Best uses

  • Approach the quest as an Ultrahand practice exercise focused on vehicle placement and propulsion.
  • Use it as a route toward Yomizuk Shrine after the Sidon of the Zora prerequisite has been completed.

Checklist

  • Complete Sidon of the Zora before attempting to start True Treasure.
  • Speak with Kodah at the inn in Zora’s Domain, or locate Sasan at Tarm Point Cave.
  • Learn why Finley and Sasan went to Tarm Point.
  • Reach the water-filled section of Tarm Point Cave.
  • Use Ultrahand to position the raft.
  • Create a makeshift fan using suitable materials, including the documented examples of wooden sticks and Korok Fronds.
  • Attach the fan to the raft and cross the cavern with Sasan.
  • Reach Finley and resolve the cave crossing.
  • Discover Yomizuk Shrine and claim the Rauru’s Blessing.

Failure conditions

  • The raft is not positioned for the crossingIf the raft is placed poorly in the water, it may not provide a usable route through the cavern. Reposition it with Ultrahand before trying to move across.
  • The makeshift fan is not attached or does not propel the raftThe documented solution requires a fan attached to the raft. Check the fusion and orientation of the construction if the craft cannot navigate the water.
  • Sasan does not reach FinleyThe quest objective is to help Sasan cross the water-filled cavern and reunite with Finley. Continue adjusting the raft and route until the crossing is complete.

On failure

The supplied material does not specify the game’s exact restart points, automatic checkpoints, or a separate fail-state screen.

Rewards

  • Yomizuk Shrine
    Successfully completing the quest leads to the discovery of this shrine.
  • Rauru’s Blessing
    Yomizuk Shrine serves as a Rauru’s Blessing, rewarding the player for reaching it through the quest.

Aftermath

The treasure search leads to a shrine

Once Sasan has crossed the water-filled cavern and reunited with Finley, True Treasure leads to the discovery of Yomizuk Shrine. The shrine is a Rauru’s Blessing, so the quest’s final payoff is tied to reaching the destination rather than to a separate boss fight or documented item drop.

Trivia

  • True Treasure can be discovered through either Kodah at the Zora’s Domain inn or Sasan at Tarm Point Cave.
  • The quest’s treasure clue comes from an ancient text mentioned in Kodah’s explanation.
  • The main traversal solution combines a raft with a makeshift fan rather than relying on a purely on-foot cavern route.
  • The quest connects a character reunion with the discovery of Yomizuk Shrine.
