The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features numerous intriguing side adventures tied to the Lucky Clover Gazette publication. Among these investigative assignments, tracking down a herd of escaped livestock at Tabantha Bridge Stable stands out as a unique tracking puzzle. Solving this mystery requires sharp observation rather than combat skills, making it a refreshing detour for adventurers.
Starting the Quest Location at Tabantha Bridge Stable
To begin this side adventure, players must first initiate the Potential Princess Sightings overarching storyline with Penn and Traysi. Afterward, travel directly to the Tabantha Bridge Stable located near the Tanagar Canyon entrance. Speak with Penn near the empty animal pen on the stable grounds to learn about the caretaker Chork's missing herd.
Following the Trail of Hylian Pine Cones
Once you accept the task, examine the area immediately outside the goat enclosure. You will spot a single Hylian Pine Cone resting on the ground near the main road. Continuing along this subtle trail reveals additional pine cones scattered across the landscape leading toward nearby woods.
Locating the Missing Goats and Recipe Bottle
Follow the trail northeast across the terrain until you spot the group of goats standing together under a large mushroom-shaped tree. Beside the animals rests a glass bottle containing Princess Zelda's special feed recipe. Interacting with the bottle triggers a scene revealing that the goats ran away because whole pine cones were fed to them instead of ground ones.
Completing the Quest and Collecting Rewards
Shortly after inspecting the recipe, Penn arrives to wrap up the investigation and reward your efforts. Completing this objective grants you a monetary payment alongside progress toward earning special armor sets. With the animals safely located and the dietary mix-up resolved, the quest officially marks itself as complete.
