Quest Overview
The ongoing fashion rivalry between Cece the hat shop owner and Mayor Reede in Hateno Village has reached a new phase: Cece wants Link to serve as her fashion ambassador during the village harvest festival. Wear her signature mushroom hat design while completing three festival tasks and report back on the public reception. The quest ends with a village vote on the hat as official town symbol — and a reward regardless of the outcome.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Speak with Cece at Her Hat Shop
Cece at Hateno Hat Shop is excited about the upcoming harvest festival. She wants Link to wear her newest mushroom-themed hat design and complete three visible festival tasks — speaking with the mayor, entering the food competition stalls, and attending the evening bonfire — as a walking advertisement for her hat.
2
Complete Three Festival Tasks While Wearing the Hat
Put on Cece's hat and complete each task: speak with Mayor Reede about festival logistics (he makes a snide remark about the hat, fueling the rivalry), browse the cooking competition stalls near the village well, and stand at the evening bonfire long enough to be seen by the gathered crowd. Each completed task is noted in your quest log.
3
Report Reception to Cece
Return to Cece after completing all three tasks. The village reception was mixed — children loved the hat, adults were divided. Cece is satisfied with the publicity either way. She rewards Link with a permanent copy of the mushroom hat (wearable armor piece with minor defense) and Rupees for playing ambassador.
