Overview
Who Goes There? is a short optional investigation that begins when Jerrin asks Link to look into an eerie voice beneath Lookout Landing.
Who Goes There? is an optional side adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It becomes available after the Hebra leg of the Regional Phenomena main quest has been completed, making it a follow-up activity for players who return to Lookout Landing after progressing through that portion of the story. The quest is focused on exploration rather than combat or a large puzzle sequence.
Jerrin, who is sweeping the floor in the Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter, is concerned by an eerie, demonic voice coming from a hole in the wall. Speaking with her points Link toward the hidden route beneath the shelter. The unusual sound is the quest's central mystery, and the investigation can be completed by following the passage rather than by searching the wider settlement.
To investigate, Link crawls through the opening and enters the Royal Hidden Passage. Breakable rocks block the route, so the passage must be opened by destroying them. The path eventually reaches the Forbidden Horned Statue, which is revealed as the source of the voice. Interacting with the statue starts the separate side adventure A Deal With the Statue; returning to Jerrin after discovering it completes Who Goes There? and grants a single Red Rupee.

Walkthrough
- 01
Unlock Who Goes There?
Complete the Hebra prerequisiteBefore looking for the quest giver, complete the Hebra leg of the Regional Phenomena main quest. Who Goes There? is an optional follow-up and is not documented as available before that point.
Location: Hebra and Lookout Landing
TipIf Jerrin does not offer the investigation, verify that the Hebra leg of Regional Phenomena has been completed.
- 02
Hear Jerrin's report
Find Jerrin in the Emergency ShelterEnter the Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter and speak with Jerrin while she is sweeping the floor. She explains that an eerie, demonic voice is coming from a hole in the wall, providing the reason to investigate.
Location: Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter
- 03
Find the passage entrance
Locate the hole in the wallSearch the shelter wall for the opening connected to Jerrin's report. The hole is the intended entrance for the investigation, so the route begins inside the shelter rather than from an exterior entrance to the underground area.
Location: Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter
Watch outDo not leave the shelter before checking the wall for the hole if the quest objective has not advanced.
- 04
Enter the hidden passage
Crawl into the Royal Hidden PassageUse the opening to crawl through the wall and enter the Royal Hidden Passage. Once inside, continue along the underground route and look for the blocked sections that prevent the passage from being followed.
Location: Royal Hidden Passage
- 05
Open the route
Destroy the breakable rocksClear the breakable rocks blocking the path through the Royal Hidden Passage. The rocks are the environmental obstruction that stops progress; after they are destroyed, continue through the newly opened route instead of returning to the shelter.
Location: Royal Hidden Passage
TipTreat the breakable rocks as the progression gate for this quest and search the passage immediately around the blockage if the way forward is unclear.
- 06
Discover the voice's source
Reach the Forbidden Horned StatueFollow the opened passage until you reach the Forbidden Horned Statue. This discovery identifies the source of the voice and marks the investigation's major reveal.
Location: Forbidden Horned Statue
- 07
Investigate the source
Interact with the statueInteract with the Forbidden Horned Statue after reaching it. This action initiates the separate side adventure A Deal With the Statue, so players should be aware that the statue discovery has content beyond the immediate completion of Who Goes There?.
Location: Forbidden Horned Statue
Watch outInteracting with the statue starts A Deal With the Statue; this is a separate side adventure from Who Goes There?.
- 08
Complete the report
Return to JerrinLeave the Royal Hidden Passage and return to Jerrin in the Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter. Report the discovery to her; this closes Who Goes There? and awards the quest reward.
Location: Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter
Mission mechanics
The quest uses a straightforward investigation loop: a character reports an unexplained event, the player follows a nearby environmental clue, and the discovery is confirmed by returning to the reporting character. Jerrin's position in the Lookout Landing Emergency Shelter gives the quest a fixed starting point, while the hole in the wall supplies the transition into the hidden route.
The main traversal mechanic is passage clearing. The Royal Hidden Passage contains breakable rocks that block the route, and progress depends on destroying those obstructions. The quest does not require a documented boss fight or a separate combat encounter; its central challenge is recognizing the wall opening, entering the passage, and continuing after the blockage is removed.
The Forbidden Horned Statue serves two quest functions. It resolves the mystery of the voice for Who Goes There?, and interacting with it begins A Deal With the Statue, whose stated purpose is allowing exchanges between Heart Containers and Stamina Vessels. Players can therefore treat the statue as both the conclusion of the investigation and the handoff point to another side adventure.

Weaknesses
