Side adventures in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom come in all shapes and sizes. Some can feel as important as your main quest, while others ... not so much. The "A New Signature Food" quest will likely fall into the latter category in terms of your overall objective of saving Hyrule, and yet is deadly serious for the residents of Hateno Village. We'll help you make this quest a piece of cake – or rather cheese – with this guide for Tears of the Kingdom.

How to complete the A New Signature Food quest

Once you've made it to Hateno Village, you will find Cece and Reede in a fierce debate about who holding a mayoral election. This will start the "Team Cece or Team Reede?" side quest, but for our purposes, you just need to track down Reede.

Step 1: After Reede leaves, track him down to his house. This is the mansion on top of the hill that's impossible to miss.

Reede explaining his plan to find a new taste.

Step 2: Speak to Reede to pick up the quest and learn that his plot to win the election comes down to making a special dish his grandfather used to make with the local cheesemaker.

Step 3: To help him remember the dish, head to the docks on the south side of town by Lake Sumac to find Koyin.

Step 4: This will divert you to another side adventure called "A Letter for Koyin" which you need to do first.

Step 5: Build yourself a boat of some kind to get close enough to the bottle in the lake to grab with Ultrahand and return it to Koyin.

Step 6: Speak to her again and follow her inside to get her to open her shop where she will start selling dairy products, including Hateno cheese.

Koyin finished making some cheese.

Step 7: Purchase one and bring it back to Reede.

Step 8: Reede will pay you a silver Rupee for completing the quest!

How to get the Zora Armor set in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You may have noticed a lot of waterfalls coming down from the sky in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, especially if you've been exploring in or around Lanayru and Zora's Domain. If you're wondering whether you can use them in any way, the answer is a resounding yes — provided you've got the right armor. You'll need at least one piece of Zora's Armor set to swim up waterfalls, but there are three pieces in total for you to find. We've got the locations of all three pieces listed for you below.
How to get Zora's Armor in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
There are three pieces of Zora's Armor set, but you'll only need one if you want to swim up waterfalls. The chest piece – known simply as Zora's Armor – can be obtained with relative ease, so we recommend aiming for that first. Regardless of which piece(s) you decide to go for, though, here are all their locations.
Zora's Helm
While there is a quest attached to finding Zora's Helm, you can technically get it anytime after you've obtained Zora's Armor (see the next listing). Just swim up the waterfall to the island known as Floating Scales Island, which is easily accessible from Mipha's Court.

While on this fish-shaped island, go to the back fin and look over the right side. You'll see some sludge along the sides of the fish. Throw a Splash Fruit at it to reveal an opening. Use your paraglider to get inside and find Zora's Helm in a chest.

It still isn't easy, however, so let's run through how to get the Biggoron's Sword in Tears of the Kingdom so you can hack and slash your way to victory.
