Learn how to start and complete the 'Cece's Secret' side adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Discover Cece's nighttime activities in Hateno Village.

Hey there! So, you're trying to figure out what Cece's up to after dark in Hateno Village? This is a pretty straightforward side adventure, but you've gotta be sneaky about it. First things first, you'll need to chat with Sophie, Cece's sister, who hangs out at the clothing shop. She'll clue you in that Cece sneaks out at night.

Once you get that info, your mission is to follow Cece without her spotting you. The best spot to get a good vantage point is on the rooftops across from Cece's shop, right near that old, condemned windmill. If you try to tail her on the ground, she'll definitely see you and the whole thing will be blown. Trust me, rooftops are the way to go.

Around 10 pm in-game time, Cece will leave her shop and head towards the windmill. You'll want to be ready on the rooftops. There's a small window on the windmill structure itself, located across from where you're likely perched. Glide over to it and make sure to crouch down to crawl inside. A cutscene will trigger, revealing Cece's secret to Link.

After the cutscene, head back to Sophie at the clothing shop. She'll be grateful you followed Cece and will give you ten Ironshrooms as a reward. If you've already wrapped up the other quests related to the Hateno mayoral election, Sophie will then tell you that you're ready to start the election itself. Just make sure it's not raining – if it is, you can always pop into the inn and sleep until the next clear day.

Tips
  • Position yourself on the rooftops across from Cece's shop before 10 pm to get a good vantage point.
  • If you miss Cece or she spots you, you'll have to wait until the next night to try again.
  • Make sure to crouch to crawl through the window in the windmill; just running won't work.
  • 10x Ironshroom
