If you’ve been as enchanted by the many cats that are found all across Hyrule in Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom as I have, then you’re probably looking for any excuse to spend time with them. Luckily, there’s a side quest that’s perfect for this.
Questioning the Local Cats is a fun, simple side quest that gives you some fantastic clothes if you’re a kitty lover. Here’s how you can complete it.
How to start Questioning the Local Cats side quest
The Questioning the Local Cats side quest can be picked up in Kakariko Village by talking to the old man by the village entrance. Be aware that you’ll need to have completed the Still Missing mainline quest before you can start this one, but since you’ll need certain echoes for this quest, it’s best you don’t have it until then anyway.
The old man is lamenting that his beloved cat has run off, and he can’t find them. He’s asking for your help to get the coveted Cat Costume, which lets you talk to cats and ask the local kitties where his pet might be.
The Cat Costume you need is with the dark-haired woman out front of the town’s potion shop. She’ll give you the Cat Costume in exchange for retrieving her pouch. You’ll need to move the kitty that’s sleeping on the spot she buried it in.
How to get the Cat Costume in Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
To get the cat off the spot where the pouch is buried, you’ll want to make an echo of some grilled fish and place it somewhere nearby. You can find this echo in Seyside Village if you don’t have it from the Grilled Fish side quest. The cat will be enticed and get up to munch on their treat.
Then, using a Holmill echo, dig the hole where the cat was sleeping. This patch doesn’t have any grass on it, so it will be easy to find. As soon as the hole has been dug, the pouch will pop right up, and you can return it to its owner.
In gratitude, she’ll give you her Cat Costume. Talk to the old man again, and he’ll let you keep it if you question Kakariko’s felines for him to find his pet.

All that’s left is to find his missing pet. Equip the Cat Costume if you haven’t done so, and simply walk up to the many cats in town to ask them where he is. The cat that will give you the location is up on top of the windmill on the western side of the village.
The old man’s pet cat can be found on top of a tree along the east road that leads into Kakariko. This calico kitty will be snoozing on the top, so climb up to them however you want to chat with them. They’ll return back to the old man afterward. This completes the quest, and you’ll get to keep the Cat Costume.
