ToTK Sound of a Drum Zelda for Cotera Great Fairy

In our ToTK Sound of a Drum Zelda for Cotera Great Fairy guide, we will explain how to unlock access to the fairy near the West Necluda stables. She wants to hear some drums, so drums is what you need to get. This is easier said than done, since you’ll have to go through a series of side quests and detours before you can get the drummer to play for the fairy. Let’s break it down in detail, shall we?

Sound of a Drum Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Cotera Great Fairy

The Great Fairy called Cotera in Zelda TOTK or Tears of the Kingdom resides near the stables in West Necluda, and wants to hear the sound of a drum before she will exit her flower. Even if you do run into the drummer, he won’t budge for reasons we’ll get into in a bit. If you go into the stables and talk to the NPC reading the papers, Sheeko, she’ll tell you about another Fairy near Woodland Stables.

Now, we have a whole separate guide on the Woodland Stable Great Fairy, Tera, but here’s the quick rundown. You go to the stables and talk to some musicians standing nearby. Then, you head way over to the Lucky Clover Gazette and become a journalist. After that, you return and talk to the musicians, fix their cart, and take them to the Fairy. After all that’s done, you can begin to solve the Cotera situation.

In fairness to Beetz, he’s told you exactly where to look. You have to go north of Kakariko Village and explore the woods south of the East Hill Chasm. Naturally, the hives are in the trees, but you can spot them more easily with Ultrahand. And yes, you can draw the hives using the ability, but do keep in mind that a swarm of bees will attack you. Perhaps it’s best to deal with them from afar. After getting three combs, report back to Beetz to complete the side quest.

Serenade To Cotera Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
