How to Find Zelda's Magical Beast
To begin this quest, speak to Traysi and Penn at the Lucky Clover Gazette. Once you’re done chatting, activate the “Potential Princess Sightings” sub quest, which will prompt you to investigate rumors regarding Zelda’s magical beast.
Now, you need to head to New Serenne Stable, which is located in New Serenne Village. As you approach the stables, you’ll hear Penn talking about the rumors, which involve Zelda riding a magical creature in a subtropical region.
After speaking to Penn, it’s time to paraglide across the water to discover the Dondons. Make your way to Lakeside Stable in Faron Grasslands and paraglide across the water. You’ll see an area with wooden structures and a woman under a shelter. Speak to the woman to learn about the Dondons and their connection to Zelda.
Now that you know the truth about Zelda and her magical beast, Penn will appear. Depending on your progress in the “Potential Princess Sightings” quest, he will reward you with a Diamond. Penn will also give you the option of feeding the Dondons, which they will later transform into Diamonds.
You may notice several Dondons, so it’s time to find out where to find Luminous Stones, which the Dondons can eat. You can look for Luminous Stones in various locations, such as the Forbidden Woods and Bulkev Mountain. Once you have some Luminous Stones, feed them to the Dondons to bond with them.
There are a total of five Dondons to find, and each can reward you with a Diamond when you feed them a Luminous Stone. In total, you can obtain five Diamonds, which can be sold for a significant amount of rupees.
Completing this quest can be rewarding in terms of story progression and valuable items.
