How to get Cece’s Hat and pink hair in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Link serves up much more than Bokoblins on a plate. Hyrule’s hero, as it turns out, slays in an elaborate mushroom hat created by Hateno Village fashion designer Cece. She gives Link the hat as a reward for helping with the village’s election, and it ends up being way better than expected.

Putting the hat on Link’s head gives him a short pink bowl cut, with bangs that cover his eyes; it also adds dark lipstick. This hat is amazing. I plan to use it while defeating Ganon and saving Princess Zelda. It’s giving runway. It’s giving Sia. It’s giving Hyrule Sephora princess.

Cece is a Hateno native who’s brought fashion to the area, opening up a little shop to sell her designs. You can’t miss it in Hateno Village — it’s the shop with the huge bust wearing a mushroom hat for a sign. Cece’s Hat, as it’s called in Tears Of The KingdomIt is the culmination her design philosophy. It’s the piece she’d send down the runway as the finale.

You can get Cece’s Hat in Hateno Village by completing the whole mayoral election series of quests: “A New Signature Food,” “A Letter to Koyin,” “Cece’s Secret,” “Reede’s Secret,” and “Team Cece or Team Reede?” The reward is worth the effort. Once all those questlines are finished, head over to Cece’s shop in Hateno Village and speak to the woman outside. The election will begin if the weather is clear, and when it’s all over, head back into the shop to collect your reward from Cece.

It’s painful to realize that the hat actually costs 600 rupees. That is an enormous amount. If you decide to sell it, though, you don’t understand fashion. Wearing the hat has no benefit other than being an iconic. I’d recommend pairing it with the Charged armor set, which is a lewk in its own right. Nintendo took away our Gerudo outfit, but this is a good alternative.
