Riddle #1

Riddle #2
“Kakariko Village’s specialty fruit!
Solution: Fortified Pumpkin
The Solution to the second riddle in Zelda BOTW is Fortified Pumpkin. When you first stay in the Kakariko village, you will receive a Fortified Pumpkin if you speak with the man attending his garden. You can purchase it from Olkin using 20 Rupees if you do not possess it now.
Riddle #3
“Sultry shroom that will warm your bones!
Solution: Sunshroom
The Sultry shroom, which sprouts in a warm environment, is none other than the Sunshroom. It exhibits the same qualities like Sun that warms our bones. To find it, head to the Retsam Woods.
Enter the Hateno Tech Lab and move towards its north side corner to find the Sunshroom in Zelda Breath of the Wild. Bring it to Walton to complete the riddle.
Riddle #4
“Scales and tail will zap you, no doubt!“
Solution: Voltfin Trout
To solve this riddle in Breath of the Wild, you must enter Lake Totori. In the lake, close to the Inogo Bridge, you can find Voltfin Trout in the water. Unfortunately, it rarely appears on the water’s surface, and you may not be able to get a hold of it. In that case, you can find it in Pico Pond.
Riddle #5
“Starts with an H and ends with an oof.“
Solution: Lynel Hoof
This is the fifth and final puzzle to be solved. As this is the last one, Walton will put you in some challenge. It is not hard to guess the thing that Walton requires from you in this riddle. The hard part comes in battle with one of the many monsters in Zelda BOTW, which you cannot win without proper strategy and attack power. Let’s get ready for some Lynel hunting!
The easiest way to encounter a Lynel in Zelda Breath of the Wild is by heading to Faron Grasslands. While facing the beast, beware that its strikes are not normal and can cause severe damage. Try to engage with a lesser variant of the monster and beat him in battle.
After beating the monster and collecting the Lynel Hoof, head back to Walton and present it to him.
