Make sure to keep yourself warm by either using cold protection clothes or using some consumables. Verla needs a few mushrooms from the cave, but the pathway is blocked by a freezing pool of cold water. You’ll find a pile of wooden platforms next to them.

Using the wooden platforms and Link's Ultrahand ability, construct a wooden bridge using two pieces of wood to cross the pool of water. Once you make it past the pool of cold water, collect 10 small blue mushrooms.

You can find more of these Chillshrooms at the back of the cave. Collect as many as you can to cook them later and make consumables. For the Crossing the Cold Pool quest, you only need 10 Chillshrooms. After you collect them, head back outside the cave’s entrance and meet up with Verla.
