Now, it’s the main hub for the newspaper, locateddirectly East of Rito Village, where a path naturally leads you to what’s normally a bridge overLake Totori.
When you speak to Penn here, he’ll introduce you toTraysi, his Editor-in-Chief, who tells you a bit more about what Penn has heard. She names you Penn’s investigative partner, and promises you the full set ofFroggy Armorfor completing the quest.

Penn will give you abare-bones glimpse of what he needs you to do, eitherdirecting you to a new locationwith another NPC to speak to before you get the ball rolling on the quest itself. If he’s speaking to someone, the other travelers involved in the quest will givehintsfor what you’ll need to do.
