Pikango, the traveling painter, appears throughout Hyrule, specifically at almost all of the various Stables, and can also be found in Kakariko Village where he wakes up each morning at 5am and makes his way over to just outside Lady Impa’s Hall. He is a key character in the game, providing quests and information to Link, and can be interacted with at various locations throughout the game, including near the Great Fairy Fountain.

  2. What gate is Pikango talking about?: While Pikango wants to give Link a reward, he does not have anything on him, and instead offers to help Link find a place he has been looking for, which is a gate at the base of Mount Lanayru, on the west side of Naydra Snowfield.
  3. How do I show Pikango the picture?: Once you have taken a picture of the fountain in bloom with your Camera Rune, you can return back to Pikango and show him the picture, although he won’t be terribly impressed, but thankful nonetheless.

  2. Should I give the fairy 100 rupees?: The first fairy needs 100 Rupees, the second will ask for 500, the third will need 1,000, and the fourth Great Fairy will require a whopping 10,000 rupees.

Locations and Characters

  2. Where is the memory 5 in breath of the wild?: Memory #5: Zelda’s Resentment is located just across the Tabantha Great Bridge past the stable.
  3. Where is the final captured memory?: The final memory is revealed by Impa in a picture that depicts an area known as Ash Swamp, which is located south of Kakariko Bridge and is identifiable by all the deactivated Guardians lying around.

Quests and Rewards

  1. How do you get Pikango to the fairy fountain?: Follow Pikango to the ledge above Kakariko, just beyond the Ta’loh Naeg Shrine, and he will get tired and sit down on the side of the path, but will ask Link to find the Great Fairy Fountain up ahead and to take a picture of it.
  2. Is it worth it to unlock all great fairy fountains?: By visiting their respective Great Fairy Fountains, Link can strengthen a piece of armor up to four times, once with each Fairy, which can increase its defense stat and even unlock an armor set bonus in Tears of the Kingdom.
  3. What happens when you unlock all 4 fairy fountains?: By the end of it all, players will gain the ability to upgrade their favorite pieces of armor, but they will have had to sacrifice plenty of time for lackluster rewards in order to get there.

Game Mechanics

  1. How to get 10,000 rupees in Zelda?: One of the best places to hunt for prime meat ingredients is South Tabantha Snowfield, nearby the Snowfield Stable, where the animals consistently drop quality meats, and you should be able to amass enough ingredients to make about ~10,000 Rupees an hour.
  2. Should I give 1000 rupees to the horse God?: When you arrive at the end of the road, you’ll see what appears to be a standard fairy fountain, but it’s actually the home of horse god Malanya, and paying her 1,000 rupees will unlock any dead horses free of charge.
  3. Is the horse god a Great Fairy?: The horse god is not a Great Fairy, but rather a unique character that can provide a specific service to Link, and players should be aware of the difference to avoid confusion and make the most of their rupees.
