While making their way through the later stages ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s main story, players will be introduced to a mysterious area known as the Korok Forest. This hidden area was the last known home of theMaster Sword, and plays a key role in propelling Link intoTears of the Kingdom’s endgame. When Link first arrives, it will appear to offer very little in the way of adventure. However, when the Great Deku Tree is cleansed of Gloom, the forest will once again bustle with life, offering Link several new encounters and quests.
“The Secret Room” is one such quest, now available to Link in the recently revived Korok Forest. While it is relatively small, this quest serves as a perfect introduction to the newly available content, as well as the best way to acquire the Korok Fabric for the paraglider. This guide will provide the player with everything they’ll need to complete the quest with ease.
