An Eerie Voice overview
Investigate a disturbing voice near Fural Plain and discover why it sounds like Princess Zelda.
An Eerie Voice is a side adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It begins at Highland Stable in the Faron Grasslands, where Link can meet Penn while he is investigating reports for the Lucky Clover Gazette. The quest is part of the Potential Princess Sightings! storyline, so completing it also advances the wider investigation connected to the Gazette and its search for Princess Zelda.
To start the investigation, speak with Penn at night. He reports that a mysterious woman has been calling out from the Fural Plain and warning people to surrender their weapons or face death. The resemblance to Princess Zelda makes the report especially unsettling, but the quest is structured as an investigation rather than a conventional combat mission.
Travel toward the Fural Plain and follow the lead to the source of the voice. The apparent haunting ultimately has a human explanation: Sagessa is found in a well. Once Link discovers the truth and reports back to Penn, the side adventure is completed and Penn provides a rupee reward. Its completion also counts toward earning the Froggy Armor set through the Potential Princess Sightings! quest series.

WalkthroughSpoilers
- 01
Find Penn
Go to Highland StableTravel to Highland Stable in the Faron Grasslands and look for Penn, the Lucky Clover Gazette reporter. The quest begins through Penn's investigation into reports connected with Princess Zelda, so do not expect the voice itself to trigger the quest before speaking with him.
Location: Highland Stable
TipIf Penn's relevant conversation is unavailable, remain at the stable and wait until night before speaking with him again.
- 02
Hear the report
Speak with Penn after night fallsTalk to Penn at night to hear his account of a mysterious woman's voice calling from the Fural Plain. The report says that the voice demands that people surrender their weapons or face death, and its sound is close enough to Princess Zelda's to make the rumor worth investigating.
Location: Highland Stable
Watch outSpeaking with Penn during the wrong time of day may not produce the conversation needed to start the investigation.
- 03
Investigate the reported area
Set out for Fural PlainLeave Highland Stable and travel toward Fural Plain, the area named in Penn's report. The quest is not resolved by simply listening to Penn; Link must investigate the place where the calls were reportedly heard and locate the source for himself.
Location: Route from Highland Stable to Fural Plain
TipUse the map to keep Fural Plain as the destination rather than wandering through the wider Faron Grasslands.
- 04
Locate the voice
Search for the source of the callsOnce in the Fural Plain area, listen for clues and inspect the surroundings instead of treating the report as proof that Princess Zelda is present. The unsettling warning is part of the mystery, and the important progression comes from finding where the voice is coming from.
Location: Fural Plain
Watch outThe apparent Zelda connection is a lead to investigate, not a reason to attack nearby people or abandon the search.
- 05
Find the person behind the voice
Investigate the wellContinue the search until the voice is traced to a well. Enter the well and examine the space below ground; this is where the investigation reveals that the sound has a physical source rather than being an unexplained apparition.
Location: A well near Fural Plain
TipIf the voice seems difficult to locate from the surface, check nearby wells and listen for the call from below rather than searching only the open plain.
- 06
Identify the source
Find SagessaSagessa is found in the well and is revealed as the individual behind the voice. Speak with her to uncover the truth of the report and complete the central investigation; the discovery explains why the calls sounded as though they were coming from an eerie, hidden place.
Location: Inside the well near Fural Plain
Watch outDo not leave the area immediately after finding the source. Finish the conversation so the investigation can register as complete.
- 07
Complete An Eerie Voice
Finish the report for PennAfter the truth behind the voice has been uncovered, return to Penn or complete the concluding interaction required by the quest. The side adventure ends once the report is resolved, and Penn provides rupees for Link's help.
Location: Highland Stable or the quest's concluding interaction
TipCheck the quest log after the conversation to confirm completion and to see the progress added to the Potential Princess Sightings! storyline.
Mission mechanics
An Eerie Voice is primarily a time-of-day and investigation quest. The important setup conversation with Penn takes place at night, which means the player may need to use a campfire, bed, or another time-advancing option before returning to him. The quest does not require a special combat strategy or a named piece of equipment.
The investigation uses environmental searching rather than a conventional dungeon structure. Fural Plain is the reported location, while the well provides the key change in elevation and the final explanation for the sound. Listening to the report, travelling to the correct area, and checking the underground space are more important than defeating enemies.
The quest's narrative tension comes from the voice's resemblance to Princess Zelda and its threatening demand about weapons. The resolution redirects that suspicion toward Sagessa, who is found in the well. This makes the quest a short mystery within the broader Lucky Clover Gazette storyline rather than a battle against a supernatural boss.
What works and what does not
Strengths
- The nighttime opening creates a clear atmosphere and immediately frames the quest as an investigation.
- The report gives the player a strong mystery hook by connecting the voice with Princess Zelda.
- The well provides a simple environmental payoff that explains the sound without requiring a major combat encounter.
- Completion contributes to the wider Potential Princess Sightings! storyline and the Froggy Armor set goal.
Weaknesses
- The quest can be unclear if the player speaks with Penn during the day and assumes the event is unavailable.
- The investigation relies on finding the correct well, so searching only the open ground around Fural Plain may slow progress.
- The quest offers limited combat variety because its central challenge is locating and identifying the voice rather than surviving a major encounter.
Best uses
