Link, Zelda and Cadence have different weapons and abilities. In normal story mode, you can expand the group without having to start a new adventure for each hero. In front of the castle, take care of the sleeping second hero and Cadence’s cave visits; the full group is needed for the final.
Awaken Link or Zelda with the Hibiscus Potion
The hero who was not chosen at the beginning sleeps in Kakariko. Go to the cemetery and push aside the large gravestone to reveal the Kakariko Tomb. Work your way through the enemies to the shadow counterpart. If you started with Link, Shadow Zelda is waiting; When you start with Zelda you will meet Shadow Link. After the victory, take the Hibiscus Potion from the chest.
Return to the sleeping area in Kakariko and speak to the sleeping figure with the potion in the inventory. The second hero will then be available to you. You can find the detailed route through the village and crypt at the entrance in Kakariko. You don’t buy the potion in the usual health potion shop and you don’t need any of the three collection bottles for it.
Bring Cadence back into the group
Visit Cadence in her caves near the major dungeon regions. Search at the Lost Woods, at the Lake Hylia, in the Gerudo region and at the Death Mountain. Talk to her every time you visit, even if you don’t tackle the dungeon right away. Their help and later return to the group are based on these encounters; You don’t have to follow a specific order of the four regions.
If Cadence is missing in front of the castle barrier, check the caves that have not yet been visited. Having the tools doesn’t mean you’ve necessarily had every conversation. Use the activated teleport stones for the return journey and first search around the dungeon whose surroundings you crossed the fastest.
Give Tingle 20 Deku Seeds to Unlock Yves
Defeat the Dekus on the overworld and collect their Deku Scrub Seeds. A safe distance helps against their projectiles; With a long-range weapon you can attack without running into the next nut unnecessarily. After the fight, look at the ground and take the loot with you before leaving the field.
Bring the first ten seeds to Tingle in the Lost Woods tree stump. He must be awake already. To do this, you activate the statue and move in time while the stone completes its round. The puzzle is described in chapter Lost Woods and Tingle. Then talk to him repeatedly until the exchange is offered: As a first reward, your stamina bar will double.
Then collect more ten seeds and return to Tingle again. Now Yves is unlocked as a playable character. Simply speaking to him before you have handed over the 20 seeds is not enough. Yves starts with one heart and cannot use many hand-bound items and normal weapons. His long-range attacks and digging in are therefore something for a later playthrough when you already know the movement patterns of the opponents.
