Many of the rewards for completing any of the 76 sidequests found inBreath of the Wildare relatively modest. In rare cases, players may get a special type of horse gear or rare materials, such as a diamond. The sidequest “Little Sister’s Big Request” can be accepted at any point inBotW, but it’s recommended to grab it in the earlier-mid stages of the playthrough.
Because Rupees are such a rarity inBreath of the Wild, it’s best to complete sidequests that give 100-300 rupees as a reward. Unfortunately, some sidequests require a lot of work only for a meager reward. “Little Sister’s Big Request” is one of those that will have Link traveling to various places around Hyrule.

Unlocking “Little Sister’s Big Request”
To accept this quest,go to theSouth Akkala Stable. This is a bitnorthwestof theAkkala TowerbetweenTarrey Townand theEldin Region. Players should Activate theZe Kasho Shrineso that they’ll have a Travel Point to South Akkala Stable. For the “Little Sister’s Big Request” mission, they’re going to need it.
Next, players will want to look for a young girl running in front of the stable. This isGleema, and she’s the first key to unlocking the sidequest. Speak to her, and she’ll say she has a secret. Answer “Tell me!” and players will learn that her older sister,Jana, lovesarmoranthflowers.
Armoranth Location
Players will then need to speak to Jana, but unfortunately for Link, Jana will not acknowledge unless he has an armoranth flower on-hand. Armoranths may have been one of the first flowers that players picked up after leaving the Great Plateau. If for some reason they missed them, then they should go toMija’s Great Fairy FountainbetweenTarrey Townand theDah Hesho Shrine. There are plenty of armoranths there to pluck and, if players have enough rupees, they can “free” Mija and unlock the next level for armor upgrading.
Travel back to theZe Kasho Shrineand speak to Jana. She can be found near theleft tree outside the stable. If players give her the armoranth, they’ll be able to proceed to the next step of unlocking the sidequest.
When prompted, select “I’m a traveler” and Jana will want Link to speak to Gleema. Run over to Gleema, and she’ll admit she likes dragonflies - darners to be specific. Now gobackto Jana toreport the findings to unlockthe “Little Sister’s Big Request” sidequest.

“Little Sister’s Big Request” Walkthrough
Gleema wants awarm darner,cold darner, and anelectric darner. The bad news is that Janahatesdarners, which means Link’s going to have to do the work. Darners are big dragonflies that can be found in specific climates of Hyrule. Here’s what to know:
- The Hyrule Ridge and Thundra Plateau are near theTabantha Bridge Stable.
It’s likely that players will already have one or two Darners at this point in their playthrough. Link should wear his best Stealth-enhancing gear and set out to personally farm the darners.Alternatively, he can take the easy and suggested way out andbuythem from two specific merchants. Darners are very cheap, so as long as Link has30 rupees, he’ll have this completed in no time.
Where to Buy Warm Darners & Cold Darners
Players will want to headwestfrom theGreat Plateauto reach the Gerudo Wastelands region.Before entering the Gerudo Wastelands, there’s a stable called theGerudo Canyon Stable. If players have already activated theWasteland Toweror one of the nearby Shrines, they should warp there first to save on some travel time. (Refer to theabove imagefor the location.)
Look for a traveling merchant with adonkey. This isMaypin, and she’s sellingCold and Warm Darners(x3) for10 rupees a piece. Gleema wants all three types of Darners, so fork over 20 rupees and get one of each.

Where to Buy Electric Darners
Now, players will need anElectric Darner. Again, these can only be farmed in the wildwhen it rainsin theSeres Scablands, but the quicker way to get them is to go to theRiverside Stable. Players can Fast Travel to theWahgo Katta Shrine(if they’ve activated it) to save some time. If not, then headnortheast from the Great Plateauorsoutheast from the Central Towerto find theRiverside Stable. (Refer to theabove imagefor the location.)
Speak toBeedleat the Stable. He’ll havex3 Electric Darnersfor10 rupees each. Players should know what to do here.
“Little Sister’s Big Request” Reward
Now that Link hasall three darners, he’ll need to warp back to theZe Kasho Shrine. Find Jana and give her the dragonflies… or attempt to, since she’ll be too scared to give them to Gleema. So, after speaking to her, go look forGleemaonce more and hand over the darners. After the follow-up scene, speak to Jana to get100 rupeesfor all the hard work. Considering the amount of travel this took, the reward itself may be too modest for some players, but 100 rupees can buy merchant/store-exclusive ingredients, such as Goat Butter of Fresh Milk.
