This Great Fairy, named Tera, wants to hear a Violin, and if Link can bring one to her, she will emerge from her bud. Luckily members of the traveling musical troupe The Stable Trotters are nearby, but their carriage Breezer has broken down. In the quest Serenade To A Great Fairy,Tears of the Kingdomplayers are tasked with repairing Breezer and bringing the troupe’s Violin playerto the Great Fairy– but to pick up this quest in the first place, Link has to make another stop first.
Find The Lucky Clover Gazette in Hebra
The Lucky Clover Gazette is Hyrule’s newspaper, and is operated out of the Hebra Mountain region just outside of Rito Village. Penn, an albatross-like reporter for the Lucky Clover Gazette, is investigating sightings of Princess Zelda throughout Hyrule’s stables. The Great Fairynear the Woodland Stablewas apparently told not to emerge from her fairy fountain by a Zelda-like figure, a story Penn wants to look into further.
The easiest way to get to the Lucky Clover Gazette is tohead into the Hebra Mountain Region via the road that leads from Tabantha Bridge, in thesouthwest of Hyrule Field. The road will eventually turn northward, and theLucky Clover Gazette is found just before entering Rito Village itself. Players can also head to the nearby Skyview Tower, from which the Gazette is just a short paraglide west. Whatever method players want to take to get there, itsexact coordinates are (1846, -0967, 0115).
Return To Woodland Stable & Build A Carriage
After players havebegun the quest “Potential Princess Sightings"from the editor of the Gazette – and after getting Penn to vouch for Link’s skills – the Serenade to a Great Fairy quest should be available at the Woodland Stable. Finish up at the Lucky Clover Gazette (or spend some time with theRito branch of the Regional Phenomena main quest), thenhead back to the Woodland Stable, just northeast of Lookout Landing across the bridge atcoordinates (1043, 1145, 0022).
One Link is back,talk to Penn and the Stable Trottersto begin the Serenade to a Great Fairy quest proper. This is a branch of both the musical troupe’s and the Gazette’s questlines, and leads into further parts of each.

After talking to Mastro, he informs Link that their carriage has broken down, and though they would like to visit the Great Fairy nearby, they cannot until this integral member of their troupe has been rebuilt. Using parts nearby, players mustfashion some kind of vehicle capable of scaling this hilland getting to Tera –without too much turbulence, too.
The simplest vehicle players can make to rebuild Breezer isa carriage with four wheels,attached to a towing harness and a horse. The towing harness is a piece of equipment that lets horses drag anything Link attaches to a small block behind it. The Breezer’s front axle attaches to this piece of equipment perfectly, just remember toattach two more wheels to the back of it for balance, too.
There are innumerable ways to solve building puzzles inTears of the Kingdom, and indeed Link doesn’t have to use a horse at all to bring the Stable Trotters up the hill. Using Zonai Devices, Linkcould attach aRocketto the Breezer with aSteering Stick, he could simplyattach Zonai wheels to the sides and drive up the hill, or he could justuse Ultrahand to carry the troupeup the hill himself.
The possibilities are endless – butjust make sure not to tilt the Breezer too much, drop it for a long distance, or make it go too fast. If things get too dicey, the camera will comically zoom in on Mastro’s face as he exclaims that it’s too dangerous to continue, and reset back to Woodland Stable.
Completing Serenade to a Great Fairy
AFter Link has successfully brought the troupe up the hill to the Great Fairy Fountain behind Woodland Stable, the troupe will get out and begin to play their instruments. For this Great Fairy, players don’t have to reunite any of the missing members of the band, as Violynne – the violin player – is the only one Teraneedsto hear. Once out of her bud,Tera will reveal the location of the other three Great Fairies– not Malanya, though.Tera can also upgrade Link’s armora little bit, which means one level, while her sisters can upgrade it up to three times total.
The Stable Trotters can be found at each ofthese other Great Fairy locations, as each one requires players to bring them a different musician.There is also a horn player, a drummer, and a flute player. For helping to investigate this story about Zelda sightings, Penn will also give Link a nifty 50 rupees for his “nest egg”.
