Hateno's Cheesy Conundrum: Fishing for Flavor in Lake Sumac
Discover how Hateno Village's culinary crisis sparks a creative quest involving innovative lake retrieval techniques, rewarding bravery with legendary cheese.
Hateno Village's culinary crisis demanded heroic intervention. Reede, the village representative, stared pensively at his cheese-less pantry, convinced the secret to Hateno's signature dish floated literally in the middle of Lake Sumac. Little did he know this quest for gastronomic glory would require feats of engineering worthy of Sheikah technology. Thus began "A New Signature Food" - an adventure proving that sometimes, saving a village's pride involves less swordplay and more creative problem-solving with suspiciously convenient nearby trees. 🧀💦

Reede's frantic cheese brainstorming session near Hateno's picturesque windmills sets the scene. Players stumble upon this food emergency when approaching the marked house on the map.
After accepting the mission, eyes inevitably drift toward Zelkoa Pond's shimmering surface before landing on Lake Sumac's southwest dock. There awaits the real MVP of this operation - a nameless NPC staring mournfully at the water. Their lament? A recipe-bearing bottle bobbing tauntingly beyond reach.
