In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, stables serve as convenient resting places for Link to recover his health and care for his horses. Aside from availing themselves of these usual amenities, the player can also discover and undertake various quests by interacting with the stable's staff and fellow travelers.
Each stable's keeper presents a quest that involves sending Link on an expedition to locate and photograph a specific landmark or scenic spot. These photographs are then used by the stable keeper to create a painting that hangs on the interior wall of the stable. This quest becomes available once the player has completed any one of the game's four temples. The player can replace the photo at any time, making it enjoyable to revisit previous shots for these requests. Here’s how to complete the quest "A Picture for Woodland Stable" in Tears of the Kingdom.
A Picture for Woodland Stable Quest Walkthrough
The Woodland Stable is situated at coordinates (1058, 1128, 0022), southeast of the Great Hyrule Forest, along the main road by the Hylia River. It is conveniently located next to Pico Pond, where players can encounter the quirky traders Koltin and Kilton for the first time. The nearest shrine for fast travel is the Ekochiu Shrine, which places Link a short distance north of the stable.
Upon arriving at the stable, Link should enter and interact with the large frame on the wall to his right. This action will catch the attention of the stablekeeper, Kish. Kish mentions that the frame was given to them by the Stable Association and explains their desire to enhance the retreat's ambiance by showcasing a stunning painting. Kish knows precisely what they want: a photo of a Goron relaxing in the Goron City hot springs.
To reach Goron City from the Woodland Stable, Link should follow the northwest road through the Eldin Canyon. Goron City can be found at coordinates (1608, 2433, 0387), and the nearest shrine for fast travel is the Marakuguc Shrine. The city is situated in a canyon directly west of Death Mountain.
While the Hyrule map designates a specific area as the "Goron Hot Springs," it is not necessary to trek up the mountains to capture the requested photo for Kish. All the bodies of water in Goron City are considered hot springs, and the player can find a Goron enjoying a relaxing soak at coordinates (1703, 2460, 0391) by following the road north past the General Store until reaching the large body of water nearby.
At this location, the player simply needs to pull out their Camera and take a picture of the Goron in the hot springs, ensuring that the text "Goron soaking in hot springs" is visible in the viewfinder to confirm the correct shot. Return to the Woodland Stable and show Kish the photo. In return, Kish will paint a recreation of the scene to adorn the stable's wall. Link will receive 1 Pony Point and a Hasty Vegetable Curry, completing the quest "A Picture for Woodland Stable."
