Where to Find The Zonaite Armor in Tears of The Kingdom

Discover the exact locations of the Zonaite Helm, Waistguard, and Shin Guards in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Get your Zonaite armor set now!

Alright, so you're looking to snag the Zonaite Armor set in Tears of the Kingdom? It's a super useful set, especially for powering up those Zonai devices, and thankfully, it's not too hidden away. You'll need to hit up three different sky islands to get all the pieces. Let's break down where each piece is!

Zonaite Helm Location - Tabantha Sky

First up is the Zonaite Helm. You'll find this one on Lightcast Island, which is floating way up over the Tabantha region. To get there easily, make your way to the Ganos Shrine. Seriously, bundle up with some cold-weather gear like the Snowquill Armor because it gets chilly up there! Once you're on the island with the shrine, look for a big wheel and a device that looks like it'll shoot you sky-high. Spin that wheel until it's pointing towards the island that has a large pond marked on your map. Now, hop into the device and let it launch you upwards. At the peak of your flight, deploy your glider and steer yourself over to Lightcast Isle. On the back left side of the island, you'll spot a familiar Zonaite device, the kind you use to activate shrines.

Activate that device, and watch as the lake below drains! While you're at it, grab some of those Ancient Arowana flopping around. Head into the cave in the center of the island. There's a Construct guarding the entrance, so take care of that first. You'll see some rocks blocking the way inside; a Bomb Flower will clear those right up. Inside, you'll find mirrors and beams of light. Your job is to adjust the mirrors so the light beams hit the next one in the sequence. You can see where they need to go, so don't stress too much. Jump from mirror to mirror until you reach the final spot, where you'll find a chest containing the Zonaite Helm!

Zonaite Waistguard - Necluda Sky

Next, we're going for the Zonaite Waistguard, and this one's a bit more involved. It's located on Zonaite Forge Island, floating in the Necluda sky. To reach it, you'll probably need Tulin's help. First, head to the Ukoojisi Shrine. Once you're there, go to the center and turn another wheel device. This time, you'll be launching yourself towards a massive waterfall in the distance. You'll want at least two full Stamina Wheels to make it, and you'll definitely need Tulin's Gust ability to give you that extra push to reach the waterfall before you run out of steam. And here's the kicker: to actually climb the waterfall, you'll need a piece of the Zora Armor equipped. Once you've made it up the waterfall, you'll see a floating platform with a Construct on it, right next to a big waterfall.

Deal with the Construct, then attack the Rockets attached to the back of the platform. Fire an arrow at them to set them off. This will propel you over to Zonaite Forge Island. Once you land, activate the Zonaite device again to create a path to the Waistguard. This will trigger some strong gusts of wind. Ride these gusts to the top of the island, where you'll find a large entrance. Inside, you'll encounter several lasers and a strong updraft that constantly pushes you upwards. You'll need to let go of the updraft and open your glider at the right moment to avoid the lasers as you ascend. Once you land, you'll see the Yansamin Shrine. Go behind it, and shoot a Water Fruit under the pillar to create a safe path. Then, use Ascend to travel up through the pillar, which will spit you out right in front of the treasure chest holding the Zonaite Waistguard.

Zonaite Shin Guards - North Akkala Sky

Finally, the last piece of the set, the Zonaite Shin Guards, are located in the North Akkala sky, directly above Tarry Town. You'll find them inside a giant orb at the highest point in the sky. Start by teleporting to the Gikaku Shrine. Here, you'll find another Zonaite launcher device. Interact with it to get it working, then turn it towards the next island and hop on to be launched upwards. You'll need to do this one more time before arriving at an island surrounded by large cubes. Your objective is to launch these cubes into the hole of the giant orb. It's easier than it sounds: just turn the wheel to line up the launcher with the orb's opening. Once it's aligned, grab a cube and wait to see if it goes in. There's a platform with a Construct on it that you can hit. After you hit it the first time, it'll disappear. Once the cube successfully enters the orb, launch yourself after it and glide into the hole. Inside, use Ultrahand to place the cube onto the switch in the center of the room. This will make the orb start rotating and seem to trap you. Climb onto one of the pillars inside the orb and use Ascend to get out. Now, you'll need to maneuver around the outside of the spinning orb. Keep an eye out for the opening at the bottom; when you see it, hurry inside. This might take a few tries, so don't be afraid to glide back to the island with the launcher if you miss it. Once you finally manage to get inside the hole, you'll find the chest containing the Zonaite Shin Guards, completing your set! Wearing it will definitely help your battery last longer when using Zonai devices.
