2. Go to the New Serenne stable to get a tip on Zelda’s whereabouts with some rumor beasts. (This is where The Beast and the Princess officially begins.)
3. Get more information from the Stable on the lake in Faron.

The newspaper’s editor-in-chief sends the two of you to all 12 stables to seek information on Princess Zelda’s whereabouts. You can do these in any order, and each stable will start its own story. The Beast and the Princess is one of them; to start it, go to the New Serenne stable in Hyrule Field. (The closest shrine is the Sinawak Shrine.)

Penn waits at the stable’s reception. He will tell you that the people around have seen the beast in a subtropical region in the south. That is Faronwhich is directly south of Central Hyrule. It’s a trek if you haven’t unlocked any nearby towers, but it won’t take too long.
Once you’re in Faron, you come across it Stable on the lake, where the stable owner will tell you about the animal shelter in the area. There are the beasts. (You may also run into the Cima and Dondon Shrine first, which is fine too!) Anyway, the beasts and Cima are just north of Lakeside Stable. Finn will come as soon as you talk to him Cima, and the quest will be complete – turns out Zelda was just researching this new species. We’ve marked Cima’s location with a star on the map below.
