Once you can rent bombs from Ravio, use them to blast open the unusual cave to the east of Link’s House. This cave is marked with a sign that warns of some sort of strange creature inside...
The cave is home to a kind but troubled creature named Mother Maiamai. The poor creature says that all 100 of her children have gone missing, and she begs Link to help find and return her lost tykes.
Mother Maiamai gives you the Maiamai Map. This special map shows the locations of all Maiamais in each area of Hyrule (and later, Lorule). There are 100 lost Maiamais to locate in all, so you’ve got your work cut out for you!
Once you meet Mother Maiamai, you’ll start noticing lost Maiamais in all sorts of predicaments around the world. Some are simply hidden in bushes, tall grass, pots, or under small or large rocks. These can be found simply by cutting the grass, smashing the pots, and lifting and throwing the rocks. Other Maiamais require a bit more effort...
