The Princess has built a school in Hateno Village inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and while they are indeed trying to teach the history of Hyrule, the kids seem hesitant to believe this is all little more than a different kind of Legend of Zelda – they think it’s all fable.

It’s up to Link to help the teacher, Symin, help the kids learn their Hyrule history in this Tears of the Kingdom side quest. Grab your camera app and head off to Hateno Village for your side job as a teacher in “Teach Me a Lesson.”
This guide contains spoilers for different sections of Tears of the Kingdom.
How To Start “Teach Me A Lesson: Part One”
While you’re out visiting Hateno Village (and find some free time between helping out thelocal mayoral election), head over to theHateno School, where you’ll find an old friend –Symin– both living and teaching.
He says he’s trying to teach on The Calamity, and welcomes you to comesit in on a lessonsometime.
Speak with Symin while school is in sessionto get started. He tells a story about The Calamity, but the students refuse to believe it’s anything more thanlegend, having happened too long ago to be true.
One of the children says thata picture proving The Calamityis all he needs to be made a believer. Because of this, Symin tasks you withfinding a pictureto prove the tragedy occurred.
Your answer lies inKakariko Village. Head over to Pyah and Impa’s house andgo upstairs, where you’ll find the oldtapestry depicting The Calamity.You need totake a picture of itwith yourCamera appon the Purah Pad.
Once you have the picture, headback to Hateno Villageand wait for the next school day. When class begins, you’llshow off the pictureto finish the first section of the quest.
Symin will give youHylian Riceas a reward, which you may want to save, as you’ll need it for part two.

While the previous lesson was in history, this time, the kids are learningculinary artsas Symin teaches them aboutcooking withMonster Extract, but once again, the kids are unconvinced.
If only Symin had a portion ofMonster Currywith which to convince them…
To make this dish, you’ll need three key ingredients:Hylian Rice,Goron Spice, and Monster Extract.
Goron Spicecan be purchased in thegeneral store in Goron Village. Meanwhile, Symin mentions thatMonster Extractcan be found inTarrey Town.
If you don’t still have theHylian Ricethat Symin gave you as a reward for the first section of “Teach Me a Lesson,” you can buy more from thegeneral store in Hateno Village.
Like last time,wait for the next school dayand head back to Hateno School, curry in hand to convince the kids.
This time, your reward is a bit more impactful – Symin offers to let youuse the school’s field to grow cropsyourself. To begin doing so, you’ll need to gotalk to Umaout by the field to begin another quest line, “Uma’s Garden.”
