The Lumberjack's Riddles are a Side Quest in A Link to the Past & Four Swords.[1]

Procedure

The Lumberjack's Riddles can only be started if Link has gathered at least 10 Medals of Courage in Four Swords on the same game file.

To begin the quest, Link must first talk to Q. Bumpkin inside the Lumberjack's house, located north of the Death Mountain entrance.[2] He will give Link the Basket and a riddle, and send him off to catch the creature or item with the Bug Catching Net that solves it.[3] After solving all 10 riddles, Link will receive the Hurricane Spin.[4] He will also receive three Carver's Statues after solving the first, fourth, and seventh riddles.[5]
