Dissolution of delegation

One of them is back with the Gerudo, where you can help a soldier who is afraid of beetles by releasing his longs for him. Unfortunately, when you finish the job, his boss will praise him for his efforts and tell him that he will trust him to destroy all beetles in the future, which is not what he expected.
5 Gift of Impa
Pony Up
If you're exploring the center of Hyrule, you've probably come across the Ranch and rented a horse for you so you can move around some parts of the map faster. It's useful, but you can't call the horse wherever you go, so it's useful in some situations.
Returning to Impa after mid-game will give you the chance to retrieve your own horse from the stable, but it's not an easy task as your horse has managed to jump into chaos, forcing you to do a rescue mission again.
4 Dohna's challenge
Buying Pajamas
Another quest that can be done after returning to Gerudo City will meet you again with the future city boss Dohna. Dohna will ask you to test the new security he's installed in the city treasury, so it's another stealth quest to get to the last chest in the long room.

By carrying out a chain of requests around the city and finally taking the dress for the princess's personal use, you will be able to track down the old man's cat and convince him to return to her in the city.
2 A jump track
The closest we get is to paraglider
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is without a doubt the most open-ended 2D Zelda game ever released, and it's admissible for the amount of hidden mechanics that aren't available if you're willing to try.
A side quest that will test your knowledge of the game's mechanics is Glide Path, which tests your jumping skills. The game never tells you that you can hold a bird-like echo and jump over them in storms and off cliffs like Cucco in a classic Zelda game, but this quest requires knowledge of this skill. There's even a follow-up quest that will have you going down more dangerous paths set by thrill-seeking Gorons.
1 Automaton Engineer Dampe
Robo-Retribution
A hidden mechanic in Echoes of Wisdom that can't be completely ignored unless you follow a specific quest line is the automatons. These summons work separately from your Echoes, and you need to help Dampe in his workshop to unlock them all.
These robots are a huge help in larger battles where you need as much firepower as possible. You'll also need to complete a chain of other side quests to unlock all the gizmos Dampe needs to customize each automaton for you. The only thing holding these robots back is that they need to be repaired if they fall into battle too often.
