The Missing Owner Walkthrough

Where to Start: First things first, you'll need to head to Gerudo Town. When you first arrive, the whole area is likely covered by a nasty sandstorm. Don't worry about that! Just make your way into the Gerudo Shelter, which is located underneath the town. Inside, you'll find a character named Cara. She'll tell you that Isha, the owner of the local jewelry shop, has gone out to gather supplies and hasn't returned yet. If you've already completed the Lightning Temple, you can find Cara upstairs in the accessories shop instead.

Finding Isha: Now, Isha is out in the western part of the Gerudo Desert, specifically in an area called the Toruma Dunes. This area is usually obscured by the sand shroud early on, so it's a good idea to clear that up first if you can. Once you're in the Toruma Dunes, keep an eye out for smoke rising from a campfire in the distance – that's your signal! Head towards it, and you'll find Isha perched on a rock, looking a bit worried.

Dealing with the Molduga: As Cara mentioned, this is prime Molduga territory, and one is indeed making a nuisance of itself nearby. These giant sand creatures might look tough, but they're actually pretty predictable once you know their trick. The Molduga burrows under the sand and senses movement on the surface. So, here's what you do: grab any throwable item – an Apple works fine – and toss it onto the sand a good distance away from Isha. This will lure the Molduga out of hiding.

Attacking the Molduga: The moment the Molduga leaps out of the sand, you've got an opening! Quickly equip an arrow with a Bomb Flower attached and aim for its belly. The explosion will stun it, leaving it vulnerable on the ground. This is your chance to rush in and get some melee hits on its weak spot.

Repeat and Return: Once the Molduga starts to stir, retreat back to the safety of the rock where Isha is waiting. Just keep repeating the process: lure it out with a thrown object, hit it with a bomb arrow when it jumps, and then wail on its belly while it's stunned. After you've defeated the Molduga, Isha will thank you and head back to Gerudo Town.

The Reward: Now, head back to Gerudo Town and speak with Cara in front of the accessories shop. She'll reward you with a shiny Diamond for your troubles! You'll also unlock Isha's follow-up quest, 'Pride of the Gerudo'.
