Beehive
Beehives,(MM3D)[2] also known as Honeycombs,(LA)[1][name references needed] are recurring items and objects in The Legend of Zelda series.[note 1] Beehives go unnamed in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, and Skyward Sword.
Location and Uses
Link's Awakening
The Honeycomb is the sixth item in the game's Trading Quest.[4] It is obtained after giving Tarin the Stick,[1] who can be found near a beehive in Ukuku Prairie after Link retrieves the Sea Lily's Bell from the Key Cavern. Tarin uses the Stick to knock down the beehive for its honey, but is chased away by the angry Bees, leaving behind the Honeycomb that Link instead takes.
The Honeycomb is then traded to the Chef Bear in Animal Village, who needs it for a dish she is preparing,[5] and gives Link her Pineapple in exchange.[1] The Chef Bear also gives useful information after receiving the Honeycomb, telling Link that Marin's song can awake the sleeping Walrus at the entrance to Yarna Desert.[6] This advice is essential to progress through the game, as Marin will only accompany Link to the Animal Village after trading the Honeycomb.
