Penn is chasing a lead on Princess Zelda at South Akkala Stable: a Cucco that speaks prophecy, perched under a large tree on the hill behind the stable. Finish its two timed trials, then fight off the Yiga Clan ambush that the Cucco was a trap for.
Walkthrough
Meet the prophecy Cucco
This quest only appears once you have begun Potential Princess Sightings and met Penn outside the Lucky Clover Gazette in Hebra. Talk to Penn at South Akkala Stable, then climb the hill beside the stable to the large tree. A line of people waits to hear prophecies; speak to the Cucco once the last visitor steps aside. The talking Cucco on the stump promises information about Zelda if you pass its trials. Accept the first one.
Trial 1: reach the stable roof
You have under a minute to stand on the roof of South Akkala Stable. Run to the stable, stand in the center of the building and use Ascend to rise through the ceiling, then Ascend again from the horse’s head to reach the top. If the timer runs out you can retry.
Trial 2: bring logs up the hill
The second trial gives you a little over a minute to bring logs to the Cucco. Cut down three trees along the path, grab the logs with Ultrahand and carry them up the hill to the stump; fusing them to a vehicle or lashing them together saves time.
Beat the Yiga ambush
After the trials the Cucco is revealed as a Yiga trap and three Yiga Clan Footsoldiers attack. They are weak, so defeat them and then report to Penn, who plans to write the story as a warning about false oracles.
Rewards
70 rupees from Penn (per Fextralife and PowerPyx). Penn’s next Potential Princess Sightings lead follows afterward.
