Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Meet Kass's Daughters in Rito Village
In Rito Village, find Kass's five daughters practicing music on the village platforms. They explain that their father Kass traveled across Hyrule composing songs but died before completing his work — his final sheet music pages are scattered at five locations he was traveling to when the Upheaval struck. They ask Link to find the pages and bring them home so they can understand the songs he was working on.
2
Find the First Two Sheet Music Pages
Page 1 is in a cave near the Tabantha Frontier road, tucked inside a musician's travel case next to an unlit campfire. Page 2 is on a clifftop shrine platform in the Eldin region where Kass apparently traveled to research ancient Hylian music scales. Both pages are weatherproof — Kass wrapped them in waxed cloth before setting them down, so they survived exposure to the elements.
3
Locate the Remaining Three Pages
Page 3 is found near Zora's Domain on the bank of Zora River, tucked under a flat stone by a peaceful waterfall Kass used as a composing spot. Page 4 is in the Gerudo Desert near the ruins where Kass researched ancient Gerudo ballads — protected in a sealed stone case. Page 5 is the final and most emotional find: at the top of the Rito Village flight course, where Kass apparently returned to compose his finale overlooking his home.

Return the Music to Kass's Daughters
Deliver all five sheet music pages to Kass's daughters in Rito Village. They arrange the pages and play the completed song together in a moving performance. The song is revealed to be a tribute to their mother and a message of love to his daughters. As thanks, the eldest daughter gives Link a Silver Rupee and teaches him the last verse of the song, which can be hummed at specific locations to unlock hidden Korok seeds.
