"Dad's Blue Shirt" Reward

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for Nintendo Switch.

Cameo outfits and armor in Tears of the Kingdom are often locked behind side quests or side adventures, requiring players to complete specific tasks to gain access. One such example is the Island Lobster Shirt, famously worn by Wind Waker Link, which can only be obtained by completing the "Dad's Blue Shirt" side quest. The shirt is found in a chest in the destroyed and monster-infested Lurelin Village, but players must meet certain prerequisites to unlock the quest, making it important to equip Link with his best armor and weapons prior to visiting the village.

How to Unlock "Dad's Blue Shirt" Side Quest

Before players can embark on the "Dad's Blue Shirt" side quest, they must first rid Lurelin Village of all its monster inhabitants. A giant health bar at the top of the screen will indicate progress, and Link must eliminate every monster in the area without leaving, or risk having to start over. Additionally, players should check the well in Lurelin Village to ensure that no Bokoblins are hiding underground. Once the village is safe, players may encounter Zuta and his family, and embark on the side quest.

To initiate Lurelin Village's reconstruction, Link must have a conversation with Bolson after successfully rescuing the village. The reconstruction process requires 15 logs and 20 units of Hylian Rice. Players can acquire Hylian Rice by harvesting the grass in Gogobi Shores, located to the east of Lurelin Village.

Players must use Ultrahand to carry the 15 logs requested by Bolson. To obtain the logs, head out of Lurelin Village and into Atun Valley where regular trees can be found. Cut them down and transport them back to Bolson. Alternatively, players can attach a makeshift carriage to their horse's harness if they have one available.

Repair Lurelin Village's Restaurant

After players have provided Bolson with the required logs and rice, they can commence the restoration of the buildings. Opt to rebuild the Restaurant which will result in the return of Zuta and his family. This, in turn, will unlock the "Dad's Blue Shirt" side quest for players. It is not necessary to have completed all the renovations in Lurelin Village. As long as the Restaurant has been restored, players can access the side quest.

Zuta can be found gazing out at the vast sea from the shoreline near Lurelin Village's restaurant. Interacting with him will initiate the "Dad's Blue Shirt" side quest. Zuta will explain that his father's prized possession, a blue shirt, is locked away in a metal chest that was lost to the depths of the ocean during a pirate or monster attack. Zuta's intuition is correct.

How to Reach the Treasure Chest

To obtain the treasure chest located at 2922, -3524, 0000, Link will need a platform to stand on, as it is located in the middle of the sea. Fortunately, there is wooden debris nearby the pier at coordinates 2875, -3500, 0000, which can be used as a platform to reach the chest.
