Learn how to build rafts in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! This guide covers unlocking abilities, gathering materials, and using Zonai devices to cross water.
Alright, so you need to cross a lake in Tears of the Kingdom, but swimming isn't an option? No worries, building a raft is totally doable! First things first, you'll need the Attach Ability, which you get from the Ukouh Shrine, located east of the Temple of Time. Once you've got that, you'll want to head towards the In-Isa Shrine, southwest of the island. That lake between you and the shrine is the tricky part, but we'll get you across.
Step 1: Get Your Logs
Your first task is to gather three logs. Just find some trees on the island and chop 'em down. Make sure you've got an Axe handy – don't waste your good weapons on trees, or they'll break faster than you can say 'Hyrule Field'. Also, try to chop trees close to where you plan to build your raft, because you'll need to move it later.
Step 2: Power Up Your Raft
Besides logs, you'll need a power source for your raft. You've got two main options: Sails and Fans. Sails are a bit hit-or-miss because they depend entirely on the wind, so if you can find Fans, they're usually the better choice. You might find these items scattered around near water sources. There aren't any fixed spots, but keep an eye out!
Step 3: Assemble Your Raft
Now for the fun part – putting it all together! Select your Ultrahand Ability. Pick up a log (you might need to press and hold a button, then select it), then place it next to another log. Press the attach button to connect them. Keep doing this until you have a raft of your desired size. Once your logs are in place, grab your Sail or Fan and attach it to the logs. If you're using a Fan, stick it on the back. You'll need to hit it with a weapon to get it going, but remember, its battery doesn't last forever, so only power it up when you're ready to move. If you opt for a Sail, place it on top, making sure it's angled with the wind so it can actually push you forward.
