Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been all about finding out what is happening with Princess Zelda. She was lost during the opening of the game, and now it is up to Link to find her. The entire main quest is related to this endeavor but there is a side adventure that helps us investigate her disappearance and rumors about her sightings. This one is the Potential Princess Sightings side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
You will assist Traysi and Penn from The Lucky Clover Gazette in investigating rumors regarding Princess Zelda’s activities in Hyrule. As the name suggests, these are all related to the princess’ possible sightings.
In return for helping them out, you will get the Froggy Armor Set. So, without further ado, let’s learn how to acquire the Potential Princess Sightings side quest and how to complete it.
Become a Reporter for Lucky Clover Gazette
The Potential Princess Sightings side adventure begins at the Lucky Clover Gazette. This is basically a stable near the entrance of Rito Village.
Tyrasi and Penn have converted an old Stable in Tabantha Frontier into an establishment and are looking into Princess Zelda’s possible appearances. The exact coordinates are as follows: (-3256, 1764, 0119).
The Lucky Clover Gazette is located toward the Southeast corner of Lake Totori and towards the North of Strock Lake. It is right next to Rito Village’s broken rope bridge. Once you reach the location, head inside and talk to Tyrasi.
She will explain her whole plan of finding out about Princess Zelda to you. She will then ask for your assistance in helping Penn complete his research. This is how Potential Princess Sightings’ side quest will initiate.
Potential Princess Sightings Walkthrough
Potential Princess Sightings is not a small task. This side adventure consists of 12 more quests. Completing every one of them will lead to completing the main adventure – Potential Princess Sightings in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The gist of things is that you will have to visit all twelve stables around Hyrule. You will meet Penn at each of these stables, who will give you a side quest related to Princess Zelda’s disappearance.
These are usually small and easy to do. Visit all twelve stables and complete all twelve side quests to complete the Potential Princess Sightings side adventure.
Below are the details of all the stable locations and the quests each stable offers.
Wetland Stable

In this one, you find out Princess Zelda borrowed a couple of tools from the stable in Wetland but never returned them. You will help a character named Izra cross the river and visit the last known location where the Princess was last seen with them. He’ll get his tools back, and the quest will end.
You will end up clearing Princess Zelda’s name and earn some cash as a reward.
Snowfield Stable

Highland Stable

Related Quest: An Eerie Voice
Reports have been coming in that the voice of Princess Zelda is being heard at night in the Fural Plain Region, telling people to drop their weapons in the well. You will need to accompany Penn to investigate.
You can only do this during the night, so it is best to reach the spot accordingly. Upon reaching there, you will hear a voice coming from a well. Head down to the well and find out a girl, Sagessa, is practicing a new song taught to her by Princess Zelda.
There is nothing about hurting the villagers or asking for weapons as a ransom. The acoustics of the well changed the voice, and people heard it differently. This will complete the quest.

The idea seems absurd, but you must go on with it. You will be stripped of everything, and you will have to enter the cave in Death Mountain. Inside, you will sneak around and explore the cave using only the most basic weapons in your underpants. Once you clear the cave of enemies, a researcher will tell the others that Princess Zelda asked them to explore all paths, not in underpants.
