Hidden coves, whispered promises, and a village’s fate hinge on a trail of carefully lit clues-Lurelin Village’s restoration tests patience, courage, and a spark of cunning.
Read on to find out how to start the “Lurelin Village Restoration Project” side adventure, how to complete it, and what rewards you’ll get.
‘Lurelin Village Restoration Project’ starting location
The quest begins in Lurelin Village, located on the southeastern coast of Hyrule within the Faron region. After clearing the area of pirates during a related mission, players can speak with Bolson near the village to start the restoration project. The starting point features damaged houses, debris, and villagers discussing plans to rebuild, setting the stage for gathering materials and coordinating repairs to bring the settlement back to life.
Head into Lurelin Village, which can be found in the southeastern section of the Faron region, and speak with Bolson at the end of the path that leads into the village. The easiest way to travel to the village is to teleport to the Sifumim Shrine, which is on the cliff just outside of the town. Keep in mind, you must complete the “Ruffian-infested Village” side adventure before you can start the “Lurelin Village Restoration Project” side adventure.
‘Lurelin Village Restoration Project’ quest steps
After helping Bolson reach Lurelin Village, speak to him to begin repairing the storm-damaged houses. Collect materials like wood and Hylian Rice, then work with Bolson’s team to rebuild structures such as the inn and general store. Once construction is complete, assist in clearing out monsters nearby to make the area safe. As the village is restored, new merchants and services return, allowing you to access shops, lodging, and a vibrant community atmosphere once again.
Interact with Bolson after completing the “Ruffian-infested Village” side adventure to learn that he needs 20 Hylian rice and 15 logs to start rebuilding the village.
If you’re low on Hylian rice, cut the grass around the village for a chance to get some more. You can also buy rice at various stores such as the general store in Hateno Village. For the logs, don’t cut down the palm trees, but instead head up to hill towards the Sifumim Shrine. Cut down some of the trees nearby to get logs, and bring them down to Bolson. If you teleport back up to the Sifumim Shrine, the trees will respawn, allowing you to repeat the process until you’ve donated 15 trees.
Once you’ve given Bolson the requested materials, you can start repairing the establishments (inn, restaurant, and Lucky Treasure Shop) and homes (village head’s house and Armes’ house) in any order. Speak with Bolson to choose which establishment or home you’d like to repair.
The restaurant, Lucky Treasure Shop, and both homes require you to cut down a straight palm tree, and use them as the building’s central pillar. After you’ve cut down a straight palm tree, grab the log using Ultrahand and place it beside the building for now. Climb to the top of the building’s foundation, and regrab the placed log. Use Ultrahand to place the log into the two holes, completing the repairing process.
The inn requires you to do something a little different. Climb up to the top of the inn, and pull out everything floating on the surface of the water except for one wooden pallet. Hop onto the wooden pallet, and look deeper into the water to find two submerged pieces of debris. Pull the debris out, and drop them outside of the inn’s walls. Return to the top of the inn, and take out the remaining wooden pallet to completely repair the inn.
‘Lurelin Village Restoration Project’ rewards
Completing the Lurelin Village Restoration Project rewards you with a fully rebuilt village, complete with shops, NPC vendors, and a usable inn. You’ll gain access to new merchants, rest facilities, and various side quests tied to the revived settlement. In addition, Link receives a generous rupee payment for helping with the repairs, and the area becomes a lively hub once again for trading and exploration.
After repairing each establishment and home, you’ll receive a reward from their tenant:
- Inn – Five voltfruit
- Restaurant – Tough seafood fried rice
- Lucky Treasure Shop – Five bomb flowers
- Village head’s house – Three armored porgy
- Armes’ house – Purple rupee, red rupee, and two traveler’s swords
Where to find 15 logs near Lurelin Village
The 15 logs for Lurelin Village Restoration Project come from non-palm trees north of the village.
Best Location
Teleport to Sifumim Shrine (also called Sifumin Shrine), right next to Lurelin Village, for quick access.
Head north along the road and up the hill/cliffside near the road split; exactly 15 regular trees grow there in a cluster, perfect for the quest.
Even Evermean trees in the area drop valid logs-just cut them down with a bladed weapon like an axe or sword.
Collecting and Transporting
-
Cut the trees to get logs, then use Ultrahand to fuse them into stacks (e.g., groups of three) for easy carrying down the hill to Bolson.
-
Drop logs near Bolson; he tallies them automatically, so multiple trips work if needed-no need to carry all at once.
-
Trees respawn after leaving the area or fast-traveling back to the shrine, so you can farm more if extras break or you miscount.
Tips
-
Rain often falls here, so wear Froggy Armor for slippery climbing or take the safer path around the cliff base.
-
Clear any nearby Bokoblins first, and grab wooden boards from the small building pitstop at the cliff base for transport aids if wanted.
How to transport 15 logs to Bolson
Transporting 15 logs to Bolson requires using Ultrahand to stack and carry them efficiently from the trees north of Lurelin Village.
Primary Method: Ultrahand Stacking
Use Ultrahand to fuse logs together into bundles of 2-5 (up to 20 max per stack) for easier handling down the hill.
Carry stacks directly to Bolson in the village center; dropping them near him auto-counts them toward the total, even across multiple trips.
Rotate stacks mid-air if needed to navigate cliffs or rain-slick paths, and avoid despawning by keeping logs in view.
Alternative: Roll or Drop
Roll individual stacks or single logs down the hill from Sifumim Shrine toward Lurelin to save climbing effort.
Cancel Ultrahand while over ledges to drop entire stacks safely without breaking them apart.
Watch distance-logs too far out of sight may despawn, requiring recutting trees (which respawn after fast travel).
Vehicle Options (Less Reliable)
Attach small bundles (2-3 logs) to a horse with Towing Harness for pulls, but full loads overwhelm most setups.
Wagons or Zonai carts work for tiny batches but tip easily on rough terrain; multiple trips beat complex builds.
