In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players encounter numerous rumors spread across Hyrule as part of the Lucky Clover Gazette questline. Among these intriguing rumors is "The Beast and the Princess," a side adventure that investigates reports of Princess Zelda riding a terrifying creature. Completing this quest provides helpful monetary compensation and advances your standing with the Lucky Clover Gazette.
Starting the Quest at New Serenne Stable
To begin this side adventure, you must first activate the Potential Princess Sightings overarching questline at the Lucky Clover Gazette. Head over to New Serenne Stable, where you will find the rito reporter Penn gathering information. Speak with Penn to learn about local whispers regarding Princess Zelda controlling a mysterious, large beast.
Investigating the Rumors across the Ravine
Penn directs you toward the sanctuary located across the nearby ravine from the stable. Cross the ravine carefully and approach the sanctuary area to speak with Cima, the caretaker in charge. She will clarify that the creature in question is actually a Dondon, a gentle new species discovered by Princess Zelda.
Clearing the Misunderstanding and Claiming Rewards
Once you finish conversing with Cima, Penn will arrive to confirm that the rumored beast is entirely harmless. Recognizing that the rumor was wildly exaggerated, Penn thanks Link for investigating the situation. Completing this side quest rewards Link with 100 Rupees and brings you one step closer to earning the Froggy Armor set.
