Completing A Letter to Koyin quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You will receive the ‘A Letter to Koyin’ quest while interacting with Koyin near the Lake Sumac dock. When you give her the Hylian Shroom, she will tell you about the bottle with a message from her grandfather that fell into the lake.

To complete the quest, all you have to do is walk right to Koyin, and you will find a wooden log. Use the Ultrahand ability to place the log in the water, stand on it and then use Ultrahand to take out the bottle. 

Next, take it near Koyin and interact with her. Afterwards, go inside the Hateno Pasture and talk to Koyin to complete the quest and obtain Hateno Cheese required for completing A New Signature Food quest.

You get Reede’s Secret quest by talking to his wife, Clavia. You can find her inside Reede’s house, standing near his sleeping child. Alternatively, depending on the time of the day, you can even find her roaming the village. 

That said, once you have the quest, go to the Hateno Village West Well, jump inside, and make your way to the yellow quest marker. Once you are there, use the Ascend ability to enter Reede’s secret room. 

Once you are inside, read Reede’s Journal, return and talk to Clavia to complete the quest. 

How to get and complete Cece’s Secret quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You can get Cece’s Secret quest by completing the abovementioned quests and then talking to Sophie in front of Ventest Clothing. Once you have the quest, go and sleep in the Hateno Inn to switch to nighttime. 

After that, head inside Ventest Clothing and talk to Sophie. She will ask you to follow her sister. Go outside the shop and hide on the left side.

Once Cece comes outside, follow her to Silo on the opposite side. Make sure to maintain distance, or she will catch you.

Go back and tell what you found Sophie inside Ventest Clothing. Once that is done, she will ask you to climb up the Silo and see what Cece is up to. Climb the Silo and enter it using the small window shown in the screenshot below.

After the cutscene, return to Sophie and tell her everything. Doing so will complete Cece’s Secret quest.
