Well
Wells are recurring locations in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3][name references needed]
Features and Overview
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, the Well is located in the western part of Mabe Village, north of the Village Library. Link can only access it by clearing out the Grass atop the cliff in vicinity, then jumping down. A Piece of Heart can be found in the puddle of Water near a staircase leading out.
If Link jumps down the Well while Marin is following him, she will fall on him. In Link's Awakening DX, if Link has met the Photographer, the latter will appear and take a Photo of the moment for The Travels of Link, which he will call "Heads Up!".[4]
Breath of the Wild
In Breath of the Wild, several Wells can be found in the ruins of villages destroyed during the Great Calamity. Many of them contain Korok Seed Puzzles, such as a Natural Hiding Spot. All of these Wells were retroactively named in Tears of the Kingdom.
In addition to these, the structure between the East Wind and a nearby Silo in Hateno Village is referred to as a Well. During the day, Amira and Nikki stand at the Well and talk with each other. When Link approaches them, they will accuse him of eavesdropping on their conversation.[5][6] To listen to Amira and Nikki, Link must stand behind the Well. Nikki mentions that one of her children recently claimed that a young girl was seen at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.[7] Amira remarks that this is strange, and she wonders if the residents of the Lab adopted a child.[8] Nikki dismisses this, claiming that the director, Purah, does not seem the type to do so.[9] She begins to speculate about who the girl could be, before deciding that her idea is impossible.[10]

But right now I have to look after my sister. Mom told me so... Mom said she had to talk with Amira about work, so she's too busy. She's always over near the well... Man, adults have it hard!

Hey! Captain Snoop! You want to get out of my personal space or what? Ever heard of the concept of a PRIVATE conversation?
— Amira (Breath of the Wild)I'm trying to have a decent gossip here! And I don't need you! Now go away!
— Nikki (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
What's your problem?! How DARE you try to eavesdrop? Mind your business!
— Nikki (Breath of the Wild)Honestly, young people these days... What kind of scamp just eavesdrops like it's no big deal? How rude.

Oh, and that reminds me, my little one was gabbing about something interesting the other day... Apparently a young girl was seen going in and out of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.
— Nikki (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh, weird. Think they adopted or something?
— Amira (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
But the director...just doesn't seem the adopting type, you know?
— Nikki (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I just have to wonder if the girl is... ac-tu-ally... No, that can't be.
