Hey there! Ready to tackle another side quest in Tears of the Kingdom? This one, 'The Iceless Icehouse,' is a bit of a puzzle, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it. You'll need a couple of specific items before you even start, so let's make sure you're prepared!

Walkthrough

1
Getting Ready: Before you head out, make sure you've got some way to create ice and some way to create fire. Ice Fruit or Ice Chuchu Jelly are your best bet for ice. For fire, a fire-infused weapon, or some Wood that you can light with a Fire Fruit arrow, will do the trick.
2
Finding the Location: To start this quest, you need to find the Northern Icehouse. If you've completed the Lightning Temple and the main Gerudo questline, great! If not, as long as you've visited Gerudo Town and activated the Shrine there, you can still get there. Look on your map for a structure just north of the North Gerudo Ruins. That's your destination!
3
Reaching the Icehouse: From your starting point, leap off and glide. Use the air currents to gain altitude and keep gliding north. You'll likely land in the ruins first, but just keep heading north, and you'll eventually reach the Icehouse. You'll see some stairs leading down to an NPC named Anche.
4
Creating the Ice Block: Anche will explain that the rising temperatures are making ice creation difficult. This is where your Ice Fruit or Jelly comes in handy! Attach one to an arrow and shoot it at some water to create a block of ice.
5
Sizing the Ice Block: Anche will thank you but then ask you to get the ice block to fit into a specific alcove. This is the tricky part! You'll need to use fire to melt the ice block. The easiest way is to drop some Wood on the ground, a little ways away from the alcove, and light it with a fire arrow. Then, use your Ultrahand ability to pick up the ice block and hover it over the flames.
6
Melting and Fitting: You'll need to melt the ice block until it's just the right size to fit into the alcove. Keep checking the fit as you melt it. If it's too big or too small, Anche will ask you to make another one. Be patient here!
7
Quest Complete: Once you've got the ice block to fit perfectly, talk to Anche one last time. You'll complete the quest and receive a Purple Rupee (worth 50 Rupees) as your reward!

Tips

Make sure you have both Ice Fruit/Jelly and a fire source *before* you head to the Icehouse. It's a pain to go back.
Use the air currents when gliding to make sure you reach the Icehouse without having to do too much extra climbing.
Don't rush the melting process! Getting the ice block to the perfect size is key to completing the quest without having to start over.
