Link can speak with him at the Lucky Clover Gazette, where Penn is excited that Link made the trip all the way out there. Penn will tell Link that the place location they are at was once a Stable, but [[Traysi]] cheated out the owner into getting the location.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Shhh! Traysi, our editor here, is getting ready for our big Princess Zelda investigation. You're here about our newspaper, right? Then you can talk to me too. I'm next in charge. Oh, wait a minute...

Some folks pass by without a second look. After all, it was a stable, until Traysi cheated the previous owner out of it. But you don't miss a thing, do you? Not bad, not bad at all...

After Penn introduces Link to Traysi, this will begin the [[Potential Princess Sightings!]] quest.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I... S-sorry, Traysi. But there's a new applicant for a reporter job.

Traysi dismisses Penn so that Link and her can talk alone. Here, [[Traysi]] will make Penn and Link partners.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Interesting... So that's why she's asked you to investigate places seriously impacted by the Upheaval. Well, coming here was a great call! What I mean is, we're getting tips from all over Hyrule. So many, in fact, that it's been hard to keep up! And among those tips, we've been hearing about someone who looks like the princess appearing in all sorts of places. I was about to assign Penn to chat those leads, but he could use a partner. I won't tell Penn who you are. It's better if no one knows you're involved. What do you say? Think you could work with him as we investigate? Of course, I wouldn't ask you to do this for free—though that'd be nice.|'''Traysi'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Penn!

===Serenade to a Great Fairy=== | |||
{{main|Serenade to a Great Fairy}} | |||
Penn will appear at [[Woodland Stable]] where he can be seen standing by [[Violynne]] and [[Mastro]]. Speaking to them will begin the [[Serenade to a Great Fairy]] quest. Here, Link will first need to repair Violynne and Mastro's wagon, [[Breezer]], by fusing two [[Wheel]]s to it. Then Link can speak to the pair and they'll hop in the wagon. Link can then take out a [[Horse]] from the Stable, as well as a [[Towing Harness]]. After attaching the towing harness, to the wagon, Link can ride north towards the Great Fairy Bud. | |||
After arriving, Violynne and Mastro will play a song, causing the [[Great Fairy Tera]] to appear. Penn will arrive shortly to find that Link has helped out the situatoin.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Well, look at this! You really helped out here, partner. I flew here as fast as I could when I saw the bud opening up. So this is...a Great Fairy.|'''Penn'''}} After hearing what Tera had to say, Penn jots down that the mysteriously girl looked like Princess Zelda, but wasn't actually Princess Zelda.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|So, she looked like Princess Zelda...but wasn't Princess Zelda. I don't like the sound of that at all. I think our reporting work might be taking a darker turn here. On the bright side, the Great Fairy is out of hiding, and that's a big scoop! I've got to take a wing and get this news written up for the newspaper!|'''Penn'''}} After jotting this down, Penn will reward Link before then flying away.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Oh, that's right. This was your first job, wasn't it? Partner, you did quite well to get such results your first time out! Why, I'm feeling a little proud myself! Here's the start to the old nest egg!

{{main|For Our Princess!}} | |||
Penn appears outside of the [[Foothill Stable]] where he will comment about all of the men in their underpants.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|There you are, partner! Have you seen all the men in underpants at the stable?|'''Penn'''}} Penn has heard that Princess Zelda had ordered all of the members of the [[Zonai Survey Team]] to dress in such a way.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I've been listening to the chirps and warbles from my sources. They said that Princess Zelda ordered all of the members of the Zonai Survey Team here to dress that way.|'''Penn'''}} Penn comments that there area is quite dangerous around here. While it was once common for travelers to make their way up to [[Goron City (Tears of the Kingdom)|Goron City]] on this route, travelers now take the easier route from [[Woodland Stable]]. With less travelers passing through, monsters have made their home in the area.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|This spot used to see a lot of travelers coming through here on their way to Goron City. But they're mostly taking a new road now. So monsters have been making their home in the area. I've been telling folks that it's too dangerous around here to walk around in just their underpants. They won't listen to me though. They insist they're following Princess Zelda's orders. I've also heard that some of these under-dressed men have set off to explore a place near here.|'''Penn'''}} Despite the danger, these under-dressed men insist on following Zelad's orders and some of them have traveled to the [[Foothill Monster Den]], but have yet to come back.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|They went to look into a monster den up this mountain road—and haven't come back yet.|'''Penn'''}} Penn is flustered why Zelda would give such a reckless order.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Why would Princess Zelda give such a reckless order to the survey team? These chirps and warbles are going to give us a real story to report on... I just know it.|'''Penn'''}} | |||
After Link travels to the [[Foothill Monster Den]] and defeats the [[Occupiers of the Foothill Monster Den|Monsters]], he can return to Foothill Stable and speak with the survey team. After learning of the miscommunication where Princess Zelda's orders were actually to explore "all other paths", instead of explore "in underpants", this will complete the quest and the survey team will put their clothes back on. Penn comments that the team botched the listening part and overdid the doing part.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Uh-huh. I see... So, the chirps and warbles that started us off here really paid off in the end. What a story! The team here botched the listening part and went overboard with the doing part. Still, that's commitment! Well, one thing's for sure. Princess Zelda really is a top-notch leader. What a powerful inspiration she is!|'''Penn'''}} He'll reward Link before flying away. | |||
===The Beckoning Woman=== | |||
{{main|The Beckoning Woman}} | |||
Penn can be found at the [[Outskirt Stable]], speaking with [[Nell]] about a strange occurance. Nell was walking near some of the nearby debris when a woman came up to him, informing him that another woman really needed help. Although the woman providing this information was a bit secretive about what was going on and gave off strange vibes.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|You see, I was by the debris near the three-way intersection up ahead when a woman came up to me. "Please! Please, you have to help her! "Her life is in danger! It would only make it worse to reveal who she is... "But please, you must save her!" That's what she said to me.|'''Nell'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I couldn't get a read on her at all... Except that she was definitely giving off some strange vibes.|'''Nell'''}} | |||
After traveling to the three-way intersection, Link will encounter a woman named [[Ralera]]. After speaking to her, Link will follow her around, as she takes link to the east, up the cliff near the [[Coliseum Ruins]] and finally to the [[Great Plateau]]. It is here she reveals herself to be part of the [[Yiga Clan]] and Link will battle with three [[Yiga Footsoldier]]s. After defeating them, Penn will arrive and ask what Link has found.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Hey! Hey, partner! So this is where your investigation took you. Looks like you really got yourself out on a limb there! I've been scouting from the spikes, trying to get to the bottom of this story. I heard that woman was luring people away... I thought I heard her voice, so I swooped on down. And, hey, here you are! So tell me... What have you unearthed?|'''Penn'''}} After Link tells Penn of what occured, Penn is surprised, but delighted that Link is okay.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I see... Who could have guessed that this whole story would be an elaborate trap set by the Yiga Clan... If you didn't know, they're a group of assassins trying to bring down the kingdom of Hyrule. I heard they were good at disguising themselves, but playing the part of a villager? I never would have guessed. And all to flush out the swordsman who protects the princess... They thought you, a young up-and-coming reporter who just happens to have blond hair... They believed you were actually that swordsman? That's just bad luck for you! You've definitely got some skills, though, if you can escape from the Yiga Clan. I'm proud of you, partner. I'm glad I don't have to write a headline like, "Junior Reporter Falls to the Cruel Blade of the Yiga in Pursuit of Truth!"|'''Penn'''}} As a reward for solving the situation, Penn will award Link with a [[Purple Rupee]].{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|We've worked together to chase 3 of the stories relating to Princess Zelda. I didn't think making progress would go so smoothly, you know... I guess it helps to have a dedicated partner. Go on and add this to your next egg, partner.|'''Penn'''}} Depending on how many stories Link has completed, Penn may award Link with an additional [[Red Rupee]], before then flying off.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Oh, that's right. Traysi has had nothing but nice things to say about you, partner! Seems like there's a little extra something in your compensation this time around. No surprise there!|'''Penn'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Anyway, it's time I took off and turned these unusual details into an article. You take care, partner! Soar long!|'''Penn'''}} | |||
===The Missing Farm Tools=== | |||
{{main|The Missing Farm Tools}} | |||
Speak to Penn at the [[Wetland Stable]] to begin [[The Missing Farm Tools]] quest. Awhile back, Princess Zelda had come to the stable to borrow some of the stable's farm tools. It seemd like an unusual request for the Princess, but it gets more unusual when she never returned them. This was after the [[Upheaval]] when all regular weapons had decayed, but farming tools were still okay. Penn encourages Link to seek out [[Izra]], the person who originally lent her the toolds. He watches over the raft at Wetland Stable.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Hey, partner. How you doing? Actually, let's just get to it. You're always on an even keel. I got a very interesting lead about our missing princess. We could have a pretty huge story here. Sounds as if one night a while back—and I'm not sure how far—Princess Zelda borrowed this stable's farm tools. That's a bit unusual. Why would our princess...need farm tools? But this story has another odd twist. She promised to return them...and didn't. Now, this all might seem trivial. She's a busy princess, after all. Still, these are strange times. So I got to thinking—only weapons decayed during the Upheaval. Maybe the princess was in desperate need of tools for... Wait, Penn... Hold on. You've gotten ahead of yourself. We need to gather the facts—when, what, where, who! Let's start at the beginning. I heard that a man named Izra lent her the tools. He's right around here—watches over the stable's raft, I heard. Let's get to work, partner.|'''Penn'''}} | |||
After finding Izra and bringing him over to the [[Floret Sandbar]], Penn will soon join them. After Izra agrees to stay behind and help [[Magda]], this will compelte the quest. Penn will award Link with a [[Purple Rupee]]. | |||
===Gourmets Gone Missing=== | |||
{{main|Gourmets Gone Missing}} | |||
Speak to Penn at the [[Riverside Stable]] to begin the [[Gourmets Gone Missing]] quest. Penn mentions that some people were expected to arrive at the stable, but they have yet to do so. The chef of the Riverside Stable, [[Gotter]], was going to meet with them to learn a new recipe. Specifically one that Princess Zelda had taught them. Gotter has been waiting for the guests to arrive, just starting out in the distance.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I've been hearing some chirps and warbles from my little birds. They say some regular guests of this stable are late to arrive—very late. The chef here, Gotter, was going to meet with them to learn a new recipe, one that Princess Zelda taught them. Hmm, my keen reporter instincts say something is wrong here... Gotter has been over there waiting for the guests to arrive. He's barely moved this whole time. Let's see... It's not unusual for guests to decide not to show up, right? But what if they're unable to? They were coming to share a recipe from Princess Zelda too. Hmm, that could be part of this. These chirps and warbles are worth looking into.|'''Penn'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Hmm... So, the gourmets didn't send word that they weren't coming.|'''Penn'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Which means it's more likelt that something—or someone—is keeping them from getting here. And they have a recipe that Princess Zelda taught them. Related? Maybe, maybe not. As I always say—starting now—leave no chirps unchecked! No warbles unweighed! I'm saying we should look into this!|'''Penn'''}} | |||
===The Blocked Well=== | |||
{{main|The Blocked Well}} | |||
Speak to Penn at the [[Gerudo Canyon Well]] to begin [[The Blocked Well]] quest. Penn mentions that the stable is void of any visitors and the place had to shut down. Partially because the fluctuating temperatures, but also because [[Princess Zelda]] had come and closed off the [[Gerudo Canyon Well]], banning anybody from using the well. The well was esential for the stable and its visitors as it provided water, as well as a steady supply of mushrooms that grew within the well. Penn wants to go down and investigate himself, but his wings are too big and he can't fit down the well.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Whoa-ho-ho! Hello there, partner! What's brought you all the way out here? I'd heard that visitors stopped coming to this stable, so this place had to shut down. But here you are! The temperature is really scorching my feathers. But just look at you, kid. Cool, calm, and collected. I've come to this stable because my sources were chirping about a problem with the well here. Actually...they say Princess Zelda caused this problem. She shut down this well and declared it off-limits. But without its water, this stable couldn't keep travelers, or the workers refreshed. The well also provided a steady supply of mushrooms to folks here. So why'd the princess want everyone to stay away from it? That's the big question. What we're short on is answers. The owner—who's stuck here—is just as puzzled as anyone else. And I can't weasel down the well to see what she was so concerned about. My wings are too wide. Ugh! I wish there was some way we could get more details. But seems like the deadest of dead ends to me.|'''Penn'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Why did the princess go and ban everyone from using the well? The owner here has no idea. He's just as puzzled as anyone else. I can't even go down that well to take a look for myself. My wings just get in the way.|'''Penn'''}} | |||
After Link goes down the well, he can break the [[Red Sediment]] to find a cave filled with enemies. After clearing all the [[Lizalfos]] and the [[Like Like]], Penn will call back up from the surface.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Partner! I heard monsters down there. Are you OK?|'''Penn'''}} Link will appear back outside and Penn will ask what he found.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|So, what'd you find in the well?|'''Penn'''}} After Link explains that the well was filled with monsters, Penn jumps to the conclusion that Princess Zelda must have purposely barricaded the well to seal away those creatures and protect the people of the stable. He thinks perhaps it was a temporary measure, but she then disappeared. Penn doesn't seem too happy that he had to speculate a little bit, but he now has the story.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|So, there were a lot of monsters behind that pile of rocks... I can't help thinking the princess knew about that monster den. She must have had a barricade put up to seal away those creatures and protect everyone here. Now, why the princess didn't say so... That's a mystery. But maybe she wanted to keep any panic from spreading. Or maybe it was only a very temporary measure. But then she disappeared. Yep, a little speculation on my part...but that's gotta be the story here. What do you say? Holds up, right? Our job is to follow the facts, and that's where they take us.|'''Penn'''}} He'll award Link for chasing the story and will then set off.{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|We've worked together to chase 6 of the stories relating to Princess Zelda. You've really gotten the hang of things. You could probably get a full-time job at the paper if you wanted to. Go on and add this to your nest egg, partner.|'''Penn'''}}{{Ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|We needed to make some educated guesses with our story, more than we'd normally do, but... I'll stand by this piece. We know our princses, after all. She had to have everyone's safety in mind! I'll get to writing all of this up for the paper. You take care of yourself. Soar long!|'''Penn'''}} | |||

After clearing all the Lizalfos and the Like Like, Penn will call back up from the surface.[40] Link will appear back outside and Penn will ask what he found.[41] After Link explains that the well was filled with monsters, Penn jumps to the conclusion that Princess Zelda must have purposely barricaded the well to seal away those creatures and protect the people of the stable. He thinks perhaps it was a temporary measure, but she then disappeared. Penn doesn't seem too happy that he had to speculate a little bit, but he now has the story.[42] He'll award Link for chasing the story and will then set off.[43][44]

Seem like a brave type and all—that's what it takes. Our newspaper is based in Hebra to the northwest. You'll find it near the bridge that leads to Rito Village. Stop by if you're up for the adventure of a lifetime...in the newspaper biz! Until then... Soar long!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom

- ↑ "So Hateno Village's dye shop in Necluda has started up a new service. It has something to do with fabrics. I know, I know. I'm basically giving you an extra job by handing over this fabric, but still... The point is that, by accepting and making use of it, you can show that you're officially part of the Lucky Clover Gazette! It would be nice if Traysi handled things a bit more simply though... Anyway, that's all done. It's always great working with you, partner! With that, I'll take wing. This story isn't going to write itself, after all! Soar long!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Shhh! Traysi, our editor here, is getting ready for our big Princess Zelda investigation. You're here about our newspaper, right? Then you can talk to me too. I'm next in charge. Oh, wait a minute... It's you! I gotta say, you did a good job getting out here to find us. It's quite a hike from Lookout Landing when you haven't got wings, but here you are! Was it easy to find the place? Some folks pass by without a second look. After all, it was a stable, until Traysi cheated the previous owner out of it. But you don't miss a thing, do you? Not bad, not bad at all... I assume you came for the job. You want to work for the newspaper, right? I'll vouch for you with Traysi. Just picture it! Traveling the world as a reporter, shining light on the truth! We'll be partners out there." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Don't you listen, Penn? I told you I was busy, but you keep bothering me! And another thing—I bought this place from the owner after we came to a fair, mutually beneficial agreement. Could you stop telling people I cheated him out of it?" — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I... S-sorry, Traysi. But there's a new applicant for a reporter job. I wanted you to know..." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "New applicant?" — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hmm... Hang on... You look like... Ah! Li— Li— Hey, sorry, Penn. But could you...give me and this guy a second here?" — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Interesting... So that's why she's asked you to investigate places seriously impacted by the Upheaval. Well, coming here was a great call! What I mean is, we're getting tips from all over Hyrule. So many, in fact, that it's been hard to keep up! And among those tips, we've been hearing about someone who looks like the princess appearing in all sorts of places. I was about to assign Penn to chat those leads, but he could use a partner. I won't tell Penn who you are. It's better if no one knows you're involved. What do you say? Think you could work with him as we investigate? Of course, I wouldn't ask you to do this for free—though that'd be nice." — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Penn! You can come back in." — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Starting now, this guy's your partner!" — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Well, if our editor here says you're in, then looks like I had you sized up right. Traysi knows how to pick 'em." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "All right, you two. Here's what you're going to do—visit every stable for leads. Penn, you'll head this all up. Stables bring in people, and people bring details. And details are what we need. Now...get me some news!" — Traysi, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "OK, listen up, partner! We're on the trail of the truth about Princess Zelda. We can't let even the smallest clue slip through our talons. Or hands, in your case. We should visit as many stables as we can. Travelers always have plenty of goings-on to talk about. Soar long!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Well, look at this! You really helped out here, partner. I flew here as fast as I could when I saw the bud opening up. So this is...a Great Fairy." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "So, she looked like Princess Zelda...but wasn't Princess Zelda. I don't like the sound of that at all. I think our reporting work might be taking a darker turn here. On the bright side, the Great Fairy is out of hiding, and that's a big scoop! I've got to take a wing and get this news written up for the newspaper!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Oh, that's right. This was your first job, wasn't it? Partner, you did quite well to get such results your first time out! Why, I'm feeling a little proud myself! Here's the start to the old nest egg! As you take on more stories, your base pay will obviously increase. And there are bonuses, of course! Keep up the good work. OK, I'm going to take this story and head back! This article will keep readers hanging on to every word! Soar long!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "There you are, partner! Have you seen all the men in underpants at the stable?" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I've been listening to the chirps and warbles from my sources. They said that Princess Zelda ordered all of the members of the Zonai Survey Team here to dress that way." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "This spot used to see a lot of travelers coming through here on their way to Goron City. But they're mostly taking a new road now. So monsters have been making their home in the area. I've been telling folks that it's too dangerous around here to walk around in just their underpants. They won't listen to me though. They insist they're following Princess Zelda's orders. I've also heard that some of these under-dressed men have set off to explore a place near here." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "They went to look into a monster den up this mountain road—and haven't come back yet." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Why would Princess Zelda give such a reckless order to the survey team? These chirps and warbles are going to give us a real story to report on... I just know it." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Uh-huh. I see... So, the chirps and warbles that started us off here really paid off in the end. What a story! The team here botched the listening part and went overboard with the doing part. Still, that's commitment! Well, one thing's for sure. Princess Zelda really is a top-notch leader. What a powerful inspiration she is!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "You see, I was by the debris near the three-way intersection up ahead when a woman came up to me. "Please! Please, you have to help her! "Her life is in danger! It would only make it worse to reveal who she is... "But please, you must save her!" That's what she said to me." — Nell, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I couldn't get a read on her at all... Except that she was definitely giving off some strange vibes." — Nell, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hey! Hey, partner! So this is where your investigation took you. Looks like you really got yourself out on a limb there! I've been scouting from the spikes, trying to get to the bottom of this story. I heard that woman was luring people away... I thought I heard her voice, so I swooped on down. And, hey, here you are! So tell me... What have you unearthed?" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I see... Who could have guessed that this whole story would be an elaborate trap set by the Yiga Clan... If you didn't know, they're a group of assassins trying to bring down the kingdom of Hyrule. I heard they were good at disguising themselves, but playing the part of a villager? I never would have guessed. And all to flush out the swordsman who protects the princess... They thought you, a young up-and-coming reporter who just happens to have blond hair... They believed you were actually that swordsman? That's just bad luck for you! You've definitely got some skills, though, if you can escape from the Yiga Clan. I'm proud of you, partner. I'm glad I don't have to write a headline like, "Junior Reporter Falls to the Cruel Blade of the Yiga in Pursuit of Truth!"" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "We've worked together to chase 3 of the stories relating to Princess Zelda. I didn't think making progress would go so smoothly, you know... I guess it helps to have a dedicated partner. Go on and add this to your next egg, partner." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Oh, that's right. Traysi has had nothing but nice things to say about you, partner! Seems like there's a little extra something in your compensation this time around. No surprise there!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Anyway, it's time I took off and turned these unusual details into an article. You take care, partner! Soar long!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hey, partner. How you doing? Actually, let's just get to it. You're always on an even keel. I got a very interesting lead about our missing princess. We could have a pretty huge story here. Sounds as if one night a while back—and I'm not sure how far—Princess Zelda borrowed this stable's farm tools. That's a bit unusual. Why would our princess...need farm tools? But this story has another odd twist. She promised to return them...and didn't. Now, this all might seem trivial. She's a busy princess, after all. Still, these are strange times. So I got to thinking—only weapons decayed during the Upheaval. Maybe the princess was in desperate need of tools for... Wait, Penn... Hold on. You've gotten ahead of yourself. We need to gather the facts—when, what, where, who! Let's start at the beginning. I heard that a man named Izra lent her the tools. He's right around here—watches over the stable's raft, I heard. Let's get to work, partner." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "I've been hearing some chirps and warbles from my little birds. They say some regular guests of this stable are late to arrive—very late. The chef here, Gotter, was going to meet with them to learn a new recipe, one that Princess Zelda taught them. Hmm, my keen reporter instincts say something is wrong here... Gotter has been over there waiting for the guests to arrive. He's barely moved this whole time. Let's see... It's not unusual for guests to decide not to show up, right? But what if they're unable to? They were coming to share a recipe from Princess Zelda too. Hmm, that could be part of this. These chirps and warbles are worth looking into." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Hmm... So, the gourmets didn't send word that they weren't coming." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Which means it's more likelt that something—or someone—is keeping them from getting here. And they have a recipe that Princess Zelda taught them. Related? Maybe, maybe not. As I always say—starting now—leave no chirps unchecked! No warbles unweighed! I'm saying we should look into this!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Whoa-ho-ho! Hello there, partner! What's brought you all the way out here? I'd heard that visitors stopped coming to this stable, so this place had to shut down. But here you are! The temperature is really scorching my feathers. But just look at you, kid. Cool, calm, and collected. I've come to this stable because my sources were chirping about a problem with the well here. Actually...they say Princess Zelda caused this problem. She shut down this well and declared it off-limits. But without its water, this stable couldn't keep travelers, or the workers refreshed. The well also provided a steady supply of mushrooms to folks here. So why'd the princess want everyone to stay away from it? That's the big question. What we're short on is answers. The owner—who's stuck here—is just as puzzled as anyone else. And I can't weasel down the well to see what she was so concerned about. My wings are too wide. Ugh! I wish there was some way we could get more details. But seems like the deadest of dead ends to me." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Why did the princess go and ban everyone from using the well? The owner here has no idea. He's just as puzzled as anyone else. I can't even go down that well to take a look for myself. My wings just get in the way." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Partner! I heard monsters down there. Are you OK?" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "So, what'd you find in the well?" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "So, there were a lot of monsters behind that pile of rocks... I can't help thinking the princess knew about that monster den. She must have had a barricade put up to seal away those creatures and protect everyone here. Now, why the princess didn't say so... That's a mystery. But maybe she wanted to keep any panic from spreading. Or maybe it was only a very temporary measure. But then she disappeared. Yep, a little speculation on my part...but that's gotta be the story here. What do you say? Holds up, right? Our job is to follow the facts, and that's where they take us." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "We've worked together to chase 6 of the stories relating to Princess Zelda. You've really gotten the hang of things. You could probably get a full-time job at the paper if you wanted to. Go on and add this to your nest egg, partner." — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "We needed to make some educated guesses with our story, more than we'd normally do, but... I'll stand by this piece. We know our princses, after all. She had to have everyone's safety in mind! I'll get to writing all of this up for the paper. You take care of yourself. Soar long!" — Penn, Tears of the Kingdom
