Withered Deku Trees

Following the celebration that ensues after you clear the Forbidden Woods dungeon and rescue the Korok named Makar, eight Withered Deku Trees appear on eight islands across the Great Sea. These are supposed to be the Deku Trees of the future, but they can’t grow!

Fill an Empty Bottle with Forest Water, which is found only inside Forest Haven. Then travel to each Withered Deku Tree and water it. You must hurry, for outside air transforms the Forest Water into ordinary water in 30 minutes. Fortunately, your bottle of Forest Water can be used multiple times—it never runs out!

Because Forest Water changes to ordinary water in 30 minutes, you must move fast as you travel from tree to tree. You must water all eight Withered Deku Trees within the 30-minute limit. Unless you have the “Ballad of Gales” warping song or the Swift Sail, you won’t have much chance to reach all eight trees before time runs out.

We’ve figured out the best route to take as you travel to each Withered Deku Tree. Use the following list as your guide in completing this side quest, and check off each Deku Tree as you go. With our method, you’ll have ample time to complete this task as long as you’re quick (we finished with more than 5 minutes to spare).

Successfully complete this side quest to receive Piece of Heart #26 from the last Withered Deku Tree you water (which is found at Star Island [B1] according to our method).
