Zelda: TOTK the Beast and the Princess Side Quest Guide

You can start the Beast and the Princess side quest by speaking to Penn at the New Serenne Stable in Hyrule Field. He will tell you rumors about Princess Zelda riding a mountainous beast with brutal tusks, and the only clue you’re given is that you need to visit the subtropical area in the south.

Although this quest is very straightforward, the size of the TOTK map can make finding the beast very challenging. To locate this animal, you must go to Lakeside Stable in Faron by teleporting to the Joju-u-u shrine.

You can get the first hint about the beast by speaking to an old man named Shay, who’s standing beside a campfire outside the stable. He will inform you about the recently discovered animal species in the area and direct you to talk with their caretaker, Cima.

Afterward, you must cross the ravine using your Paraglider and reach the other cliffside. Cima will be standing near the Dondons at these coordinates: 1530, -3353, 0059.

The woman will tell you about the history behind the Dondons and how the people exaggerate the viciousness of the gentle animals. Not long after, Penn will interrupt your conversation by dropping down from the sky. Once Link explains the truth about the Dondons, the Rito will thank you for your effort and give you 100 Rupees as a reward.

That’s the end of our guide for the Beast and the Princess side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Before leaving to complete this mission, consider reading other TOTK guides on Twinfinite via the links below.
