How to Begin A Trip Through History Side Quest in TOTK¶
To get the quest underway, you’ll need to track down Kakariko Village which is located to the northwest of the Necluda Region and the easiest way to reach the village is by fast traveling to the 
Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower. From here, you’ll want to use the tower to be taken up into the sky, then you’ll want to glide down to the northeast to reach the village which is located on the Lantern Lake. If you’re struggling to find the lake, then you’ll want to head into the area in-between Rikoka Hills and the Pillars of Levia.
When you arrive you’ll want to look for a guy named Bugut. He can be found roaming around near the entrance of the village. Speak with him and he’ll mention something about Ring Ruins which is apparently one of the most interesting things to see in all of Hyrule and he informs you that the survey team have found one stone slab with Zonai writing on them and he wants to find out what the other four remaining slabs have written on them. Unfortunately, he can’t reach the other slabs due to his fear of heights, so its down to you to find out!
