Uncovering his secret reveals a surprisingly sympathetic story about past hardship that casts new light on his motivations for running for mayor. Completing the quest adds depth to the village storyline.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Initiate the Investigation
After backing Reede in Team Cece or Team Reede, Reede pulls Link aside and asks for help with a private matter. He has been making late-night trips to a locked storage shed near his farm and is worried villagers are starting to talk. He won't say what's inside, but asks Link to meet him after dark.
2
Follow Reede at Night
Meet Reede after sundown near his farm shed on the eastern edge of Hateno Village. He unlocks the shed and shows Link the contents: a collection of letters and mementos from his late wife, who died during the Great Calamity. He's been preserving her belongings in secret because he doesn't want sympathy from neighbors — he wants to be seen as a leader, not a widower.
3
Keep the Secret and Report Back
Return to the quest giver and report that Reede's secret is personal and not a scandal. The villagers who were suspicious are satisfied with the explanation that Reede stores farm records there. Reede is grateful for Link's discretion and rewards him with Rupees. His standing in the election improves — voters appreciate his quiet dedication to his family.
