Overview
Princess Zelda can encounter Basa in Goron City, who is eager to work on Fireworks.[2][3] He introduces himself to Zelda and explains his passion for Fireworks.[4] He reveals that he is going to display a new design at a celebration for the Goron Chief Darston, but he has no inspiration currently.[5] Basa is especially anxious because he made a promise to Darston about its quality.[6][7] He is also out of Blastpowder Soil, and he cannot gather more while developing his new Firework.[8] When Zelda asks, Basa states that it can be found high up on Eldin Volcano, and golden Flowers typically grow from it.[9] Afterwards, "The Fireworks Artist" will begin.
Golden Flowers can be found growing outside of the Rock-Roast Quarry, and it is from this location that Zelda can obtain Blastpowder Soil.[10] Upon returning to Basa, he is able to smell the Soil that she is carrying, and he asks if she is going to give it to him.[11] Basa is touched by Zelda's kindness, which allows him to come up with a new idea for Fireworks.[12] By adjusting the amount of Blastpowder Soil he uses, he can create different colors.[13] He believes that this is a suitable way to celebrate Darston as the new Goron Chief.[14][15] He then proceeds to set up his Firework show.[16]
Basa places three Firework launchers on Eldin Volcano, and he offers Zelda a front-row seat for her help.[17] He then sets off the Fireworks,[18] which begin flying into the sky. Several Gorons, including Darston, comment on and enjoy the display.[19] Back in Goron City, Basa is pleased that Darston and the others were happy with his Fireworks.[20][21] To reward Zelda for her help, he gives her a Purple Rupee.[22] He realizes that he should not make promises he cannot keep, and he decides he should be honest whenever he is in trouble.[23] Following this, "The Fireworks Artist" will be completed.

Where to find it? Well, it's usually up higher on the mountain is the thing... Those golden flowers like to grow in it, so you can usually find it wherever you see lots of 'em.
