How do you unlock the first Great Fairy?

Repair the Stable Trotters’ wagon and tow the musicians to Tera. Serenade to a Great Fairy in Tears of the Kingdom begins at Woodland Stable after you join the newspaper investigation. Bringing Link to the flower bud alone does not open it.

RequirementWhat to do
StartPenn and Mastro beside the musicians at Woodland Stable — Show on map
PrerequisiteJoin Potential Princess Sightings! at the Lucky Clover Gazette near Rito Village
TransportA registered horse that can wear a Towing Harness
DestinationTera’s fountain northwest of the stable — Show on map
ResultTera opens, and the other Great Fairy serenades become available
Link speaking with Penn at the Lucky Clover Gazette
Join the Gazette investigation before visiting the musicians at Woodland Stable.

How do you fix and connect the wagon?

  1. Speak to Penn and the musicians to hear why they cannot reach the fountain.
  2. Use Ultrahand to attach the two loose wheels to the wagon’s empty axles. Check that each wheel sits straight; a board dragged on the ground is not a working wagon.
  3. Open a stable’s Pony Points ledger and claim the Towing Harness after earning three points. Have the stable worker fit it to a suitable horse.
  4. Bring the horse in front of the wagon. Use Ultrahand to attach the wagon’s front tow bar to the harness.
  5. Talk to Mastro and agree to take the musicians. Wait until they board before riding away.

If the harness does not appear, distinguish claiming the reward from equipping the horse. Both must be done. Horse registration and stable services are covered in the horse guide.

Which route should you drive?

Follow the road uphill toward the fountain northwest of Woodland Stable. Keep the wagon upright and take bends slowly. Cutting across steep ground or steering into a rock can frighten the passengers and interrupt the ride.

Arrive close to the flower bud with the troupe still aboard. The performance draws Tera out and Penn concludes his investigation.

What do you get, and which fairy is next?

The main reward is access to armor upgrades. Penn also pays for the report; his payment depends on your progress through the newspaper investigations, so this quest does not have one fixed payout for every player.

After Tera, you can work on Mija, Kaysa or Cotera in any order. Each has a missing musician and a separate transport problem. The number of open fountains determines the available upgrade tier; see Great Fairy costs and materials.

FAQ

Why is Penn missing from Woodland Stable?
First visit Traysi at the Lucky Clover Gazette near Rito Village and join Potential Princess Sightings! Then return to Woodland Stable and check beside the musicians.
Where do I get the Towing Harness?
Claim it from the stable rewards ledger after earning three Pony Points, then have a suitable registered horse equipped with it at the counter.
Why does the wagon move without completing the quest?
The musicians must be aboard. Speak to Mastro after repairing and attaching the wagon, then drive along the road to Tera’s fountain.
Do I need to pay Tera to open the fountain?
The troupe’s performance opens the fountain. Armor upgrades afterward require their own materials and rupees.
