Every game in The Legend of Zelda series has been packed with side quests and collectibles. As mentioned in our The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds review, the most recent entry is no exception. One of the most involved quests comes from Mother MaiaMia, who has lost 100 of her babies across Hyrule and Lorule.
Finding and returning her babies is a great way to upgrade your items. For every 10 babies you find, she'll upgrade your rented items from Ravio. Find them all, and you'll learn a powerful, upgraded spin attack.
Of course, you have to find Mother MaiaMia first. Head to Lake Hylia and look along the northern edge of the water. There's a blocked cave by a sign warning readers of a monster inside. Use a Bomb to open the cave and find Mother MaiaMia inside. After speaking to her, the 100 babies will be available to find. Follow along to grab them all!
