It is one of the first items I recommend you get after leaving the Great Sky Island tutorial zone because it’ll make your life much easier. However, it’s not exactly clear how to obtain it or how to use it. Here is a quick and easy guide on unlocking the Paraglider inZelda Tears of the Kingdomso you can glide through Hyrule likeAaron Durgati.
How to unlock the Paraglider inZelda Tears of the Kingdom
Once you’vecompletedtheCrisis at Hyrule Castlemain quest by activating the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower,Purah will reward you with the Paraglider. Purah is located inLookout Landing,south of Hyrule Castle in Hyrule Field, and serves as the hub during the beginning stages of the game. You can access this location once you land in Hyrule Castle for the first time.
To begin your quest, you mustlocate Hoz near Hyrule Castle. I recommendjumping over the wooden balcony where Purah standsand making your way toward the castle. Once youpass the stone wall gate, head up the hill and towards the left. You’ll come across anNPC character gazing at the ceiling.
Keepclimbing up, and you’ll eventually find Hoz, who will be staring at a large chasm.
After thecutscene concludes, go to Lookout Landing and speak with Purah. She will assign you toactivate the Skyview Tower. Once you complete this, Purah will reward you with the Paraglider.
How to use the Paraglider inZelda Tears of the Kingdom
The first way to use the Paraglider is whenLink falls at a great height. To do so, press theJump buttonto equip the paraglider to glide through the sky.
The second way to use the Paraglider isriding an updraftby pressing theJump button twice. This will allow you to ride the updraft upwards until it ends.
Finally, and most importantly, I found that you canutilize the Paraglider with other abilitieslike the Ascend or Ultrahand. For instance, I used the Ultrahand ability to create a minecart, and while riding on the minecart,I jumped offed and glided to my destination.
