Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Meet the Stable Trotters
Encounter the Stable Trotters band at Woodland Stable in the Great Hyrule Forest region. The group consists of a drummer, guitarist, and singer who travel between stables performing for travelers. Their leader explains they have been separated since the Upheaval and need help reuniting the band members who scattered to different stables across Hyrule.
2
Reunite the Band Members
Track down each missing Stable Trotter: the drummer is sheltering at Riverside Stable near Dueling Peaks, waiting for the roads to be safe again, and the guitarist fled to Snowfield Stable in Hebra after monsters blocked the mountain passes. Visit each stable, speak with the musicians, and convince them to rejoin the tour by clearing nearby monster threats.
3
Escort the Band to Their Next Performance
With the band reunited, help them travel to their next scheduled performance at Wetland Stable. The roads between stables are dangerous — monster camps and Gloom-corrupted creatures block the paths. Walk alongside the Stable Trotters' wagon, defeating any enemies that approach. The band plays traveling music as you escort them, adding charm to the journey.
4
Complete the Concert Circuit
After arriving safely at Wetland Stable, the Stable Trotters perform a full concert for the gathered travelers and stable workers. The performance is a joyful cutscene with their complete musical arrangement. As thanks for reuniting the band and protecting them, the lead singer rewards Link with the Hylian Hood — a classic green headpiece reminiscent of the Hero of Time.
