The Missing Farm Tools guide

The Missing Farm Tools is a Side Adventure about a report that Princess Zelda took a set of farm tools. The investigation begins at Wetland Stable and leads into a short river journey.

Before The Missing Farm Tools can begin, Link must accept Potential Princess Sightings! at the Lucky Clover Gazette. That larger questline sends Penn, a Rito journalist, to investigate reports connected to Princess Zelda, and The Missing Farm Tools is one of the Side Adventures encountered during that work. The quest therefore functions as both a self-contained investigation and a step in the wider Gazette storyline.

After accepting the questline, travel to Wetland Stable and speak with Penn. He provides the information that starts the farm-tools investigation, after which Izra can be found near the stable's raft. Speaking with Izra moves the quest from conversation to traversal and establishes the raft as the means of reaching the reported destination.

The central gameplay task is piloting a raft down the river toward the place where Zelda reportedly took the tools. Nearby Zonai devices can be used to build an airboat or modify the existing raft, giving the player a way to improve river navigation and reduce the risk of colliding with ruins. Reaching the destination resolves the mystery, after which the quest awards rupees.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Unlock the questline that contains The Missing Farm Tools.

    Accept Potential Princess Sightings!

    Go to the Lucky Clover Gazette and accept Potential Princess Sightings! before visiting Wetland Stable. The Missing Farm Tools belongs to this questline, so attempting to investigate the farm tools without first accepting the prerequisite will not begin this Side Adventure.

    Location: Lucky Clover Gazette

    TipTreat the Gazette conversation as the setup step rather than travelling directly to the stable first.

  2. 02

    Reach the stable and locate Penn.

    Travel to Wetland Stable

    Make your way to Wetland Stable after accepting the questline. The source identifies the stable as the investigation's starting area, so this is where the relevant characters and the raft used for the next objective can be found.

    Location: Wetland Stable

    Checkpoint
  3. 03

    Learn what happened to the farm tools.

    Speak with Penn about the missing tools

    Talk to Penn at Wetland Stable to learn about the report involving the missing farm tools. Penn is a Rito journalist investigating reports connected to Princess Zelda, and his conversation supplies the information needed to continue the local inquiry.

    Location: Wetland Stable

    TipIf the quest does not advance, confirm that Potential Princess Sightings! was accepted at the Lucky Clover Gazette and that the conversation with Penn was completed.

  4. 04

    Begin the river investigation.

    Find Izra by the raft

    Move to the area near Wetland Stable's raft and speak with Izra. This conversation begins the investigation's river section and points you toward the destination where Zelda reportedly took the tools.

    Location: Near the raft at Wetland Stable

    Checkpoint
  5. 05

    Prepare a craft for the river.

    Choose or improve a river craft

    Use the raft for the journey, or use nearby Zonai devices to modify it into a more capable craft or build an airboat. The purpose of the construction is to make the river easier to navigate and help avoid the ruins along the route.

    Location: Raft area near Wetland Stable

    Watch outThe route includes ruins that can obstruct the craft. Keep control of the raft or airboat rather than steering directly into them.

  6. 06

    Reach the destination where Zelda reportedly took the tools.

    Pilot the craft toward the reported destination

    Travel down the river in the direction indicated by the investigation. The quest requires reaching the destination associated with the missing tools; the source pack does not specify a named landmark or a precise route, so follow the river and use the available craft to negotiate obstacles.

    Location: River downstream from Wetland Stable

    TipA modified raft or airboat can make the river section more manageable than relying on an unmodified craft.

  7. 07

    Complete the Side Adventure.

    Resolve the mystery and claim the reward

    Continue until you reach the destination, then complete the investigation there. Resolving the mystery finishes The Missing Farm Tools and awards rupees; the exact amount is not specified in the supplied material.

Mission mechanics

The defining mechanic of The Missing Farm Tools is vehicle-based river travel. The quest provides access to a raft near Wetland Stable, but the nearby Zonai devices allow the player to alter that raft or create an airboat. This makes the objective more than a simple walk between quest markers: the player must choose how to approach the water route.

River handling matters because ruins are identified as hazards along the journey. A craft that is difficult to steer can lose momentum or become obstructed when it meets those structures, while a modified design may provide a more controllable way to reach the destination. The supplied information does not identify a required Zonai-device configuration, so there is no single mandatory build to follow.

The investigation itself is conversation-led. Penn provides the report, Izra near the raft begins the practical search, and the river trip carries the player to the place where the mystery is resolved. The quest does not have a confirmed boss encounter, combat sequence, collectible set, or branching choice in the available source material.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The quest combines a short investigation with a clear environmental-traversal objective rather than relying only on dialogue.
  • Nearby Zonai devices give the player flexibility to modify the raft or build an airboat for the river journey.
  • Its placement in Potential Princess Sightings! gives the missing-tools mystery a connection to the wider Princess Zelda investigation.

Weaknesses

  • The river route can be awkward if the craft is difficult to steer around the ruins.
  • The Side Adventure has a prerequisite, so it cannot be started by going straight to the Wetland Stable characters.
  • The available source material does not identify the exact destination or provide a precise construction plan for the raft.

Best uses

  • Complete it while progressing through Potential Princess Sightings! and its investigation of reports about Princess Zelda.
