Where are the Wells? - eXputer Wiki

Key takeaways

Use the quest as a checklist for Hyrule exploration rather than waiting to search for every well at once.

Find Fera first Locate Fera inside a well near a stable to activate the quest. The supplied information identifies Wetland Stable Well and Tabantha Stable Well as examples of places where she can typically be found.
Map discovery is enough A well counts once Link gets close enough for its map icon to appear. Full exploration of the underground space is not required for quest progress.
Return to report progress Fera accepts reports for wells Link has discovered. She eventually relocates to the well in Lookout Landing, which becomes the stated return point.
The final reward is separate from the rupees Each identified well earns 10 rupees, while reporting all 58 grants the All's Well key item in addition to the cumulative rupee reward.

Overview

Where are the Wells? turns Hyrule's scattered wells into a long-form exploration objective, rewarding players for finding all 58 locations and reporting them to Fera.

Where are the Wells? is an optional side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Its central task is straightforward but extensive: discover every well scattered across Hyrule, then return to Fera and report the locations you have identified. The quest is best approached as a companion objective for broader exploration rather than as a short, self-contained mission.

The quest begins when Link encounters Fera, a well enthusiast who resides inside one of Hyrule's wells. Fera can be found in wells near stables, including the Wetland Stable Well or the Tabantha Stable Well. After the quest is active, Fera eventually relocates to the well in Lookout Landing, giving Link a consistent place to return while the search continues.

Wells are underground locations that can contain materials, loot, and hidden routes. Link does not have to complete every interior area for a well to count toward the quest; approaching closely enough for its icon to appear on the map is sufficient. This makes the quest primarily a surveying challenge, although entering the wells can provide useful exploration opportunities along the way.

Fera pays 10 rupees for each well location reported. Finding all 58 wells therefore produces 580 rupees in total, followed by the key item All's Well: a model of a well enclosed in a glass sphere. The quest has no stated combat encounter or boss in the supplied information, so preparation should focus on travel and systematic map coverage.

Walkthrough

01
Locate Fera
Search for Fera in a stable-area well
Begin by checking wells near stables, where Fera can typically be found. Wetland Stable Well and Tabantha Stable Well are identified as examples, but the supplied information does not establish which one will be the player's exact starting location.
Location: A well near a stable
TipIf one named stable-area well does not contain Fera, check the other example rather than assuming the quest is unavailable.
02
Activate Where are the Wells?
Speak with Fera to activate the quest
Talk to Fera after finding her inside the well. This starts the task of discovering the wells of Hyrule and establishes the reporting relationship needed for rewards.
Location: The well where Fera is found
Watch outDo not treat a nearby well icon as completed quest progress until Fera has been located and the quest has been activated.
03
Discover the wells
Approach each well until its map icon appears
Travel around Hyrule and get close enough to each well for its icon to register on the map. You do not need to fully explore the underground interior for the location to count, so leave after registration if the goal is only quest completion.
Location: Wells throughout Hyrule
TipUse the map icon as the confirmation point for each discovery instead of spending time clearing every underground space.
04
Optional well exploration
Explore a well when its interior is useful
Although interior completion is not required, wells can contain materials, loot, or hidden paths. Enter when you want the extra exploration value, but keep the distinction between discovering the location and fully investigating it in mind.
Location: Individual well interiors
Watch outDo not confuse collecting interior materials or following a hidden path with the separate requirement to register the well location.
05
Report discovered wells
Return to Fera while searching
Once several wells have been identified, return to Fera and report the discoveries. Fera eventually relocates to the well in Lookout Landing, which is the stated later location for turning in progress.
Location: Lookout Landing well, after Fera relocates
TipReturning periodically lets you collect the payment for reported locations instead of postponing every report until the end.
06
Complete the quest
Continue until all 58 wells are reported
Keep surveying Hyrule and reporting the locations until the complete set of 58 wells has been identified. The supplied information does not provide a full location-by-location list, so the map icons and a personal checklist are the reliable way to track what remains.
Location: Hyrule and Fera's reporting location
07
Receive the completion reward
Collect the final reward
After all 58 wells have been discovered and reported to Fera, collect the All's Well key item. The full set of reports also accounts for 580 rupees in total payments at 10 rupees per well.
Location: Fera's reporting location
Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

The quest tracks discovery by proximity to a well rather than by requiring a complete underground clear. When Link gets close enough for the well icon to appear on the map, that location is considered identified for the quest. This allows players to decide whether the interior's materials, loot, or hidden paths justify a longer visit.

Reporting is a separate part of the loop. Fera pays for each well location Link identifies, and Fera eventually moves to the well in Lookout Landing. A systematic approach is useful because the goal covers 58 locations and the supplied facts do not include a complete regional checklist.

The reward structure supports gradual progress: each reported discovery produces a 10-rupee payment, while the complete set leads to All's Well. The total payment is 580 rupees, calculated from the 58 reported wells, before considering the separate key item reward.

Wells to discover

01
58 well locations
Where: Across Hyrule
The quest's collection target is all 58 wells. A location counts when Link approaches closely enough for its icon to appear on the map.
02
Well interiors
Where: Inside individual wells
Interiors may contain materials, loot, or hidden paths, but no complete interior clear is needed for the quest's discovery count.

Failure conditions

A well has not registered on the mapBeing near the general area is not enough if the well icon has not appeared. Move close enough to trigger discovery before leaving.
A discovered well has not been reportedFinding a location and receiving its map registration does not replace returning to Fera to claim the associated payment.
The quest giver cannot be found at the expected wellFera eventually relocates to the well in Lookout Landing, so checking only the original stable-area well may not locate her later.

On failure

The supplied information does not describe a conventional mission-fail state or combat checkpoint. Progress is best protected by confirming map registration and reporting discoveries regularly.
