The Ultimate Guide to Finding the Missing White Goats in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Players can embark on the "White Goats Gone Missing" quest as part of the exciting "Potential Princess Sightings!" quest series in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The overarching goal of this quest series is to uncover any clues or sightings of the missing Princess Zelda, who disappeared during the Upheaval. To kick off this series of quests, players must first make their way to the Lucky Clover Gazette headquarters, situated east of the Rito Village at coordinates (-3260, 1771, 0118).

Upon arrival, players will be introduced to Traysi, the head editor of the Lucky Clover Gazette, and a novice reporter named Penn. Traysi will request that the player accompany Penn as he investigates reports of Princess Zelda sightings, and promises to reward them with pieces of the rare Froggy Armor Set for their efforts. Link will be instructed to visit each of Hyrule's stables to gather information from the locals and follow up on any potential leads. Here's how players can begin and successfully complete the "White Goats Gone Missing" quest in Tears of the Kingdom.

How to Start the White Goats Gone Missing Quest in Tears of the Kingdom

Players can initiate the "White Goats Gone Missing" quest by making their way to the Tabantha Bridge Stable located on the eastern side of the Tanagar Canyon at coordinates -2917, 0560, 0169. At the entrance to the Tabantha Great Bridge, they can find Penn who will inform them about the disappearance of a herd of white goats previously housed at the stable.

Link can speak with the goatherder, Chork, who is standing nearby after his conversation with Penn. Chork reveals that he had prepared a special goat feed using fresh Hylian Pine Cones, according to Princess Zelda's recipe. However, the goats have rejected the food and fled. Chork lost the recipe during a storm and has been trying to recreate it from memory. The player's task is to find both the missing recipe and the runaway goats, which are located in the same place.

Upon speaking with Chork, players can choose to check in with Penn, although it is not required. Penn will unsurprisingly suggest searching for both the goats and the recipe. Leaving the goat pen, players will immediately spot a trail of whole Hylian Pine Cones leading to the northeast of the stable and into the Seres Scablands, an area filled with towering mushroom-like trees.

The path to the herd of white goats can be found by following the trail of pine cones. The pine cones can be spotted easily by keeping an eye out for the sparkling ground while in the high grass. The player should continue to follow the trail until they eventually reach a group of goats hiding behind a large mushroom-like tree. These goats can be found at coordinates -2550, 0408, 0150 in the Seres Scablands.

Upon approaching the goats, the player will come across a conspicuous glass bottle. Interacting with it will trigger a cutscene where Chork, overjoyed at finding his lost goats, inspects the bottle and realizes that he has been incorrectly preparing the Princess's recipe. It turns out that the pine cones were supposed to be ground into a powder all along. Grateful for the player's assistance, Chork thanks them and promises to take better care of his goats going forward. Soon after, Penn will arrive and reward the player with 50 Rupees for successfully completing the quest. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can only be played on the Nintendo Switch.
