One of the longest questlines in the entirety of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is Potential Princess Sightings, which begins at the Lucky Clover Gazette. During the questline, you must find different stables across Hyrule and complete jobs for Penn, one of the Gazette’s Rito journalists.
One particularly tough quest during this adventure is called Princess Zelda Kidnapped? and involves the dastardly Yiga Clan.

Solving the Princess Zelda Kidnapped? quest in TOTK, explained
This quest begins at the Dueling Peaks Stable, which is located in the southwestern part of Ash Swamp and just east of the Dueling Peaks region text on the map. For more context, it’s found in West Necluda at the coordinates 1755, -1927, 0010.

When you arrive at the stable, Penn will be on the roof of the makeshift generator. Make your way up to speak to him and this will start the Princess Zelda Kidnapped? quest. Penn will state the Yiga Clan has been up to their nasty ways again and sent a ransom note that claims they have Princess Zelda at the carved-out heart of the towering twins. This is in reference to the Dueling Peaks region, and the carved-out heart is a specific spot in the southern part of the region.
Make your way to the coordinates 1321, -1958, 0304, where you will find yourself at the top of the Dueling Peaks.
Here, you can find an imposter pretending to be Zelda holed up in a cage. You can simply use the Ultrahand ability to lift the cage off of the imposter and then defeat the Yigas. We initially had some trouble defeating the Yigas, as they are of the assassin variety.
As long as you play at a distance and learn their attacks, you can defeat them handily. Once you do, the Princess Zelda Kidnapped? quest will be complete and you will be able to move on to another stable in TOTK.
