Quick Links
There are a few side quests inZelda: Echoes of Wisdomthat require you to carry an object from point A to point B. One is in Eldin Volcano (“The Flames of Fortune”), and the other is on Holy Mount Lanayru (“Snowball Magic”). Unlike the Eldin side quest, “Snowball Magic” doesn’t have a time limit, but you’ll still need to carry the object to its destination without breaking it. The reward for the side quest is necessary to get if you’re planning on having two rows of heart containers inEchoes of Wisdom.

How to Complete
You’ll need tocomplete “Rift on Holy Mount Lanayru"main questbefore you can start the “Snowball Magic” side quest. After you’ve received Nayru’s sanction,warp to the Waypoint stone near Conde’s House. Conde should be inside and have a red objective marker over his head. Speak to him, and he’ll explain a magic ritual that will ensure his brother’s safe return from his adventure. You will then be warped to another area on Mount Lanayru, specifically the area where you most likely learned the Snowball Echo. You’ll need to transport a “sparkling” snowball to an altar in the northwest.
you may’t make an Echoof the snowball in “Snowball Magic.” You’ll need to use Tri’s Bind ability to transport it to where it needs to go. From where Conde is standing, you’ll notice giant snowballs rolling down the mountain. Lock onto one with ZR-button, and use X-button to Bind it. You will then have to traverse the twisting path to reach the altar. Unfortunately, there are countless snowballs that roll down the mountains and can crash into Zelda or the snowball she’s bound to. If it breaks, you’ll need to get a new one from the path where Conde is standing.
Quickest Route
If you want to bypass the winding road, then you can use Platboom and Flying Tile to make the transport easier. You can refer to theyellow arrowsand theEchoes outlined in pinkin theabove imagefor the exact route. Otherwise, here’s what you’ll need to do:
If you’re using Platboom and are worried that it will knock Zelda back, you can always equip theStone Anklet Accessory. You can get this from Hyrule Castle Town for 400 Rupees.
If the snowball is too “far” from Zelda, then you’ll want to release it and pick it up again. The placement doesn’t have to be exact. Just make sure the snowball goes on the stone platform between the two ice pillars. You can use theimages belowas a visual guide:
Snowball Magic Reward
Piece of Heart
As a reward for helping Conde, he’ll give you a Heart Piece. You know the drill at this point: Collect four pieces of heart to make a new Heart Container. There are40 Heart PiecesinEchoes of Wisdom. If you’ve beencollecting them throughout your playthrough, then the Heart Piece from “Snowball Magic” may be one of the last ones you need. Unlike Eldin Volcano and Faron Wetlands, “Snowball Magic” is the only side quest you’ll find on Holy Mount Lanayru after clearing the rift. you’re able to speak to Conde any time you want, but he won’t have any more side quests for you to do.
