How do you finish A Gift for My Beloved?

Ask Prima what she likes, then give Manny 10 Restless Crickets. This Hateno Village side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild awards a Silver Rupee. Prima’s wish for 100 insects is the setup; your delivery is only 10.

StepPersonWhat to do
StartManny in Hateno VillageAgree to find out what Prima likes
AskPrima at the Ton Pu InnAsk about her favorite thing
ReportMannyTell him that she likes Restless Crickets
DeliverMannyHand over 10 Restless Crickets through dialogue

The Hateno Village guide covers the village’s shops and services. Do the conversations before leaving to gather so the Adventure Log has reached the delivery stage.

Manny is the one you report to after asking Prima what she wants; find him near the village entrance.

Why does Prima say 100 crickets?

Prima describes her wish to be surrounded by 100 Restless Crickets. Once you tell Manny, he breaks the job up: you find 10, and he will gather the remaining 90. You do not need a second delivery to complete the quest.

Keep the insects in your materials inventory. This is a normal hand-in, unlike releasing fireflies inside a room. Cooking the crickets into an elixir removes the individual materials Manny wants.

Where should you look for the crickets?

Start in the grass around Hateno Village. Swing a blade to cut a patch, then pick up the insects promptly before they jump away. Move in short sections instead of repeatedly slashing across the whole field: you need time to collect what appears.

When you see a cricket before cutting, crouch and approach slowly. Stealth armor helps, but you do not have to buy an entire set just for this request.

What should you check if the delivery will not finish?

  • The item name: it must be Restless Cricket, not another insect.
  • The quantity in your bag: have all 10 available together.
  • The conversation stage: speak to Prima, then report her answer to Manny before offering the insects.
  • The recipient: return to Manny. Prima does not take this delivery directly.

Once Manny accepts them, take the Silver Rupee and confirm the completed entry in the Adventure Log. You can continue with the other local errands in the side quest list.
