Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
The Political Divide
Arriving in Hateno, the election is all anyone talks about. Cece runs the local clothing shop and has popularized mushroom-themed fashion. Reede is the traditional mayor focused on farming and stability. Both notice Link and approach with tasks.
2
Cece's Campaign (Optional)
Cece wants Link to investigate why her mushroom-hat fashion trend is suddenly declining — someone is sabotaging her campaign. Following this path reveals that Reede's assistant has been purchasing and hiding the mushroom hats to suppress the trend.
3
Reede's Campaign (Optional)
Reede wants Link to help him understand the youth vote better — by wearing one of Cece's mushroom hats around town and reporting reactions. This reveals that Reede is actually a secret Cece fan who has been buying the hats himself.
4
The Revelation
Both questlines converge on the same truth: Reede has been secretly buying Cece's mushroom hats because he loves the fashion but feels politically constrained. Confronting both with this information allows Link to broker a compromise.
5
Election Day
The election concludes with Cece and Reede announcing a joint platform — Hateno will embrace both fashion innovation and agricultural tradition. The village celebrates and both candidates reward Link for brokering the peace.
