Quick Links
In yourZelda: Echoes of Wisdomplaythrough, you’ve probably noticed a sparkling object hung on the wall in someone’s house. These are items that can be obtained through the completion of minigames. One object you’re likely to find first is the Golden Fan at the Gerudo Oasis. Like other key items, you cannot make an Echo out of it, but you’re going to need it for “Get Rich Quick!” This is a side quest you can unlock and complete in the midgame ofEchoes of Wisdom, and if you need to farm Rupees, it’s one you’ll want to do.

How to Unlock & Complete
“Get Rich Quick!” becomes available after you’ve completed the “Automaton Engineer Dampe” side quest. For this, you need to find Dampenortheast of Hyrule Ranchand defeat the crows that stole hisClockwork Key. Then, you can visit Dampe’s studio and start the “Automaton Engineer Dampe” quest. You’ll need to show him an Echo of a Tektite and a Mothula. After this,check the journal, andyou can take on three more Automaton quests. To unlock “Get Rich Quick!”, you’ll need to complete the three requests listed in the journal:
Interact with the journal againto start “Get Rich Quick!” For this, you’re going to need theCrow Echoand theGolden Fan. At this point, you should already have the Crow Echo. If not, you can learn the Crow Echo at the same spot where you met Dampe, or you can get it in the areabetween the Gerudo Desert and Lueberry’s House. To get theGolden Fan, you need to play theMango Rushminigame, which is found in thehut behind the Smoothie Shop in Gerudo Oasis.

How to Use Goldfinch Automaton
How Much Rupees Does It Farm?
The Golden Finch Automaton works just as any other Automaton: Summon it by holding down left on the directional pad, and scrolling to the Golden Finch. Wind it up with the Y-button, and the Golden Finch will take flight. Like a regular Crow Echo, it’ll attack enemies and cause them to drop Rupees. The Golden Finch ismuchfaster than the Crow. When it hits its target, the enemy will drop5 Rupeesand20 Rupees. After a while, the Golden Finch will need to be rewound. You can increase winding time by drinking a Twisty Smoothie (requires Twisted Pumpkinas one of the ingredients). Be careful the Golden Finch doesn’t get too damaged. If it does, you’ll need to take it to Dampe and have it repaired for a fee.
If you hold the Golden Finch and jump off a ledge, you’re able to use it to glide a short distance, just as you can with cuccos and keese.
