How do I find the memory near the Hebra Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To find the memory near Hebra Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to follow a series of steps that involve exploration, puzzle-solving, and careful observation. This memory is part of the "Captured Memories" quest, which is given to you by Impa in Kakariko Village after you complete the "Seek Out Impa" main quest. The memory near Hebra Tower is one of 12 scattered across Hyrule, and each one reveals a piece of Link's forgotten past. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to find this specific memory.

First, you need to have the quest "Captured Memories" active. If you havenÔÇÖt already, speak to Impa in Kakariko Village to receive the quest. She will give you a clue about the memory near Hebra Tower, which is described as being near a "giant tree in the snowy region." This tree is the Tabantha Great Tree, located in the Tabantha Frontier region, northwest of Hebra Tower.

To reach the Tabantha Great Tree, you need to head to Hebra Tower. If you havenÔÇÖt activated Hebra Tower yet, youÔÇÖll need to climb it. The tower is surrounded by cold weather, so make sure you have cold-resistant gear or food. The Snowquill Set from Rito Village is ideal for this, but if you donÔÇÖt have it, you can cook dishes with ingredients like Spicy Peppers or Sunshrooms to gain temporary cold resistance. Once youÔÇÖre prepared, climb the tower and activate it to reveal the surrounding map.

From Hebra Tower, glide northwest toward the Tabantha Great Tree. The tree is massive and hard to miss, standing out in the snowy landscape. As you approach, youÔÇÖll notice a large, open area with a few enemies, including a Frost Talus. The Frost Talus is a mini-boss that can be challenging if youÔÇÖre not prepared. ItÔÇÖs weak to fire-based attacks, so using fire arrows or a flame weapon can make the fight easier. If youÔÇÖre not confident in your combat skills, you can avoid the Frost Talus by sneaking around it or using stealth to bypass the area.

Once you reach the Tabantha Great Tree, look for a small, glowing spot on the ground near the base of the tree. This is where the memory will trigger. Stand in the glowing spot, and a cutscene will play, showing Link recalling a moment from his past. This memory is one of the more emotional ones, as it shows a conversation between Link and Princess Zelda about their responsibilities and the weight of their mission.

There are a few important tips to keep in mind while searching for this memory. First, make sure you have enough cold-resistant gear or food, as the Hebra region is extremely cold and will drain your health if youÔÇÖre not prepared. Second, be cautious of the Frost Talus near the Tabantha Great Tree. If youÔÇÖre not ready to fight it, you can use stealth or climb the tree to avoid detection. Third, if youÔÇÖre having trouble finding the exact spot for the memory, use the Sheikah Sensor+ to detect the memory location. This requires you to have upgraded your Sheikah Sensor at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, but itÔÇÖs a useful tool for finding memories and other important items.

A common mistake players make is not preparing adequately for the cold weather in the Hebra region. Without proper cold resistance, youÔÇÖll take constant damage, making it difficult to explore and find the memory. Another mistake is underestimating the Frost Talus. While itÔÇÖs possible to avoid it, fighting it can be rewarding, as it drops valuable materials like rare gems. However, if youÔÇÖre not confident in your combat abilities, itÔÇÖs better to avoid it and focus on finding the memory.

For advanced players, there are a few optimizations you can make. If you have the Master Cycle Zero from the "EX The Champions' Ballad" DLC, you can use it to quickly traverse the snowy terrain and reach the Tabantha Great Tree faster. Additionally, if you have the RevaliÔÇÖs Gale ability from Vah Medoh, you can use it to gain altitude and glide directly to the memory location, bypassing much of the terrain and potential enemies.

In terms of required items and preparation, youÔÇÖll need cold-resistant gear or food, a good weapon for dealing with the Frost Talus if you choose to fight it, and possibly the Sheikah Sensor+ to help locate the memory. If youÔÇÖre planning to fight the Frost Talus, fire-based weapons or arrows are highly recommended, as they deal extra damage to ice-based enemies.

An alternative approach to finding the memory is to use the Rito Village as a starting point. If youÔÇÖve already unlocked the Rito Village, you can travel there and then head northwest toward the Tabantha Great Tree. This route is slightly longer but may be easier if youÔÇÖre already familiar with the area. Additionally, if youÔÇÖve completed the Divine Beast Vah Medoh, youÔÇÖll have RevaliÔÇÖs Gale, which can make reaching the memory location much easier.

In summary, finding the memory near Hebra Tower involves preparing for the cold weather, navigating the snowy terrain, and locating the Tabantha Great Tree. Be cautious of the Frost Talus, and use the Sheikah Sensor+ if needed. With the right preparation and strategy, youÔÇÖll be able to uncover this important piece of LinkÔÇÖs past and continue your journey through Hyrule.
