After the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta|link}} has been appeased, {{Term|BotW|Finley}} tells her mother that she is going to find a prince of her own.<ref>{{Cite|... I can't find my daughter, Finley... When we last spoke, she said something crazy like, "I want to find a prince of my very own!"|Kodah|BotW}}</ref> Because of this, {{Term|BotW|Finley}} can be found at the {{Term|BotW|Bank of Wishes}}. She asks {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} if he has a wish for the water fairy too, before realizing he does not have a letter.<ref>{{Cite|Hm? Do you have a wish for the water fairy too? Oh... I suppose not. If you did, you'd have a letter to send.|Finley|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Finley}} then asks if {{Term|BotW|Link}} is a servant of the water fairy.<ref>{{Cite|But wait, does that mean you're... a servant of the water fairy?!|Finley}}</ref> If he agrees with {{Term|BotW|Finley}}'s statement, she will tell him not to make fun of her just because she is a cute girl.<ref>{{Cite|That can't possibly be so... Please don't make fun of me just because I'm a cute girl.|Finley|BotW}}</ref> If Link says he is a traveler, Finley will express excitement.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, really?! How lucky!|Finley|BotW}}</ref> Either way, Finley will request {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s help.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, WOW! If that's the case, I have an important request for you!|Finley|BotW}}</ref> She asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to follow her love letter, a large container, when she releases it down the {{Term|BotW|Zora River|display=River}} to know whoever picks it up.<ref>{{Cite|Once I release it, I'd like you to follow my {{Color|BotW Red|love letter}} and get to know whoever picks it up.|Finley|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Finley}} says to report back to her so she can find out what kind of person received it.<ref>{{Cite|Once you do that, please report back to me so I can find out what kind of person he is...|Finley|BotW}}</ref> She explains that she cannot do it herself because her mother does not want her to venture too far.<ref>{{Cite|I know, I know. You're probably thinking, "Why not just go yourself, lazy girl?!" I'm right, aren't I? The thing is, I promised my mother I wouldn't venture out too far.|Finley|BotW}}</ref> The {{Term|BotW|Zora}} begs {{Term|BotW|Link}} to find the person who picks up the letter.<ref>{{Cite|So I'm begging you.

After the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast Vah Ruta|link}} has been appeased, {{Term|BotW|Kodah}} is unable to find {{Term|BotW|Finley}}, who apparently told her mother that she was going to find a prince of her own.<ref>{{Cite|... I can't find my daughter, Finley...

If that's the case, I have an important request for you!|Finley|BotW}}</ref> She asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to follow her {{Term|BotW|Love Letter}} when she releases it down the {{Term|BotW|Zora River|display=River}} to know whoever picks it up.<ref>{{Cite|Once I release it, I'd like you to follow my {{Color|BotW Red|love letter}} and get to know whoever picks it up.|Finley|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Finley}} says to report back to her so she can find out what kind of person received it.<ref>{{Cite|Once you do that, please report back to me so I can find out what kind of person he is...|Finley|BotW}}</ref> She explains that she cannot do it herself because her mother does not want her to venture too far.<ref>{{Cite|I know, I know.

With {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s encouragement, {{Term|BotW|Sasan}} decides to pursue the sender.<ref>{{Cite|[Love reigns supreme.] Love reigns supreme... Hmmm. I suppose it does.
