In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link is tasked with traveling the Kingdom of Hyrule to investigate a number of disasters occurring across the land. This will require Link to visit the homes of four major factions: the Rito, the Zora, the Goron, and the Gerudo.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom allows players to tackle Link's investigations in any order they wish, but the game strongly hints that players should travel northwest to Rito Village first. This can indeed be very beneficial for a number of reasons but will require players to find their way to the Lucky Clover Gazette and across a broken bridge before they can reach it.
How to Find The Lucky Clover Gazette
The Lucky Clover Gazette has taken over the stables that once sat near the bridge to Rito Village, and should be the first port of call on the way to Rito Village itself. In order to reach it, players have two options. Players with access to a horse or other form of vehicle can take the western exit from Lookout Landing and follow the road, taking the path going northwest once they reach a crossroads. Players could also use the Paraglider and launch out of the Skyview Tower in Lookout Landing, heading northwest that way.
This leads to Tabantha Great Bridge, which is guarded by a Hinox, though players unwilling to fight it can use the paraglider to bypass it or simply sneak around it on foot. This does mean leaving behind the horse or whatever other vehicle players used to get this far, so players should probably just take out the Hinox for the sake of convenience.
Arrows fused with Keese Eyes will home in on the Hinox Eye, which can be used to stun it. A Well aimed regular arrow can also achieve this.
Past the Hinox players just need to keep following the road to find New Serrene Stable, where players can get their horse back if they had to leave it behind at Tabantha Great Bridge earlier. This is also a good place for players to acquire a Horse if they don't have one already since plenty can be found roaming around in the vicinity of the Geoglyph.
Once players have found the stable (and ideally activated the Shrine nearby for easy access later) they can follow the southward path, curving westward towards a canyon spanned by another Bridge. The Tabantha Bridge Stable nearby offers a good spot to rest if needed. Across the bridge, players can follow the path northward along the canyon, and over one more narrow bridge, to find the Lucky Clover Gazette and the broken bridge leading toward Rito Village.
How to Cross the Broken Bridge and get to Rito Village
After arriving at the Lucky Clover Gazette (and chatting with the owner to start a very useful sidequest) players can head over to the bridge leading to Rito Village. It's broken, but there's a campfire nearby and numerous people in the area will mention how Hylian Pinecones cause surges of flame and a huge updraft when burned. Throw a Pinecone onto the campfire and use the updraft to launch Link high into the air, then glide over the gap and land on the far side of the bridge.
From there, it's only a short way to Rito Village.
