In The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, there are plenty of NPCs who ask for Link's help. In Gerudo Town, you'll meed a Gerudo named Pokki who's interested in visiting the ruins outside of town - supposedly, there are some where there are giant statues facing each other.

Unfortunately for Pokki, she's misplaced her map that marks where they are, and Gerudo Desert is vast and easy to get lost in if you're not careful. She still wants to visit the ruins, though, and that's where you come in. Here's how you can help Pokki see the ruins.

How To Start The To The Ruins! Quest

To initiate the To The Ruins! quest, you’ll need to speak with a Gerudo named Pokki in the northeast of Gerudo Town.

She’ll tell you that she wants to see some ruins where “huge statues face each other,” but she’s lost her map that shows their location, so she’s unsure what to do.

How To Take Pokki To The Ruins

At first, it’s a little unclear how you can complete this quest. You can’t just head to the ruins Pokki mentions by yourself.

However, if you speak to Pokki a second time, she’ll request that you take her to the ruins on a sleigh seal.

Head to the Sand-Seal Rental Shop, which is just to the left of where you’ll find Pokki.

However, the owner isn’t behind the stand — you’ll find her to the left of it, wearing bright yellow clothing.

Speak with her and select “I’ll rent one.” Then, pick “A sleigh seal, please.” This will cost you 50 rupees.

Once it’s rented and you’ve got your sleigh seal, go back to speak with Pokki. When she asks if she can hop on, tell her “Go ahead!”

The place you want to take her is the East Gerudo Ruins, which are to the right of town and past the East Gerudo Ruins.

Mark the ruins on your map with a pin so you can make sure you’re always headed in the right direction.

Jump on the sleigh seal and head towards the ruins. Pokki mentioned having a safe ride, so you’ll want to keep control of the sleigh and not make too many sudden movements or swerves.

If Pokki feels you’re driving too unsafely, you’ll be returned to Gerudo Town and have to make the journey again.

You’ll also have to pay out another 50 rupees to rent a sleigh seal.

The ruins are almost a straight path from where you leave town on the east side, so keep going, avoiding any debris or any enemies on the way, and you’ll reach the ruins.

When you arrive, Pokki will tell you to stop, and you’ll see a cutscene where she tells you about the ruins. As a reward for taking her there, she’ll give you 100 rupees.
