Learn how to get the Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Follow our step-by-step guide to navigate the Great Sky Island and Lookout Landing to obtain this essential item.
So, you've taken your first big dive off the Great Sky Island and landed on Hyrule proper. That was probably a bit nerve-wracking without the Paraglider, right? Don't worry, getting it is your next big priority, and it's tied into the main quest. Here's how to snag it!
- 1First things first, once you've landed on Hyrule, you'll want to head northwest. Your destination is Lookout Landing. This is where the main quest will naturally guide you.
- 2When you arrive at Lookout Landing, find and talk to Purah. She's the key to moving forward.
- 3After your chat with Purah, she'll send you north towards Hyrule Castle. You need to find a guard captain at a gatehouse. You can follow a winding trail to get there, so don't worry about needing to do any crazy climbing right away.
- 4Once you've spoken with the guard captain, head back to Lookout Landing and report to Purah again.
- 5Purah will then ask you to meet her at the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower, which is nearby. Head over there.
- 6After a bit more conversation, you'll need to activate a terminal inside the tower. Do that, and congratulations – you'll officially have the Paraglider!
- 7Shortly after getting the Paraglider, you'll be part of a tutorial that launches you into the sky from the Skyview Tower. It's a bit of a trial by fire, but you've got the tool you need now!
- Remember that gliding uses Stamina. Keep an eye on your Stamina wheel, especially when you're high up! Running out could lead to a nasty fall.
- You can deploy the Paraglider multiple times in mid-air. If you're just trying to slow your descent and avoid fall damage, you don't have to deploy it immediately. Wait until you're closer to the ground if you're not trying to cover horizontal distance.
- To dive while falling, hold the [B/A] button. This can help you descend faster.
- The Paraglider is great for gliding across small to moderate gaps. If you glide into a cliff face or another climbable surface, Link will automatically start climbing, giving you some leeway.
- You can also use the Paraglider effectively when launching from a vanishing Zonai wing device, after being propelled from a Skyview Tower, or while standing in updrafts (vortexes).
