One of the biggest draws ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis the newUltrahand ability, which letsLinkcreate new vehicles, buildings, and structures out of materials found in the overworld. While this feature is handy, it can also be stressful when you are running low onZonai Charge, which sends you plummeting to the face ofHyruleonce again. Would you believe me if I told you that theZonaiteArmoris a builder’s best friend, as it drastically slows down the used charge amount on any Zonai builds? This one is a bit of a doozy to find, so let’s get ready to explore and find this unique set of armor.
How To Prepare For Trails Ahead In Zonaite Armor Quest
Before you head out on this journey, I strongly suggest that you gather the following items to make your journey much more seamless:
All of these trails take place in the sky, and with heavySkyview Towerutilization, you’ll need all the help you can get while navigating. Let’s get ready to take to the skies in this adventure.
Where To Find The Zonai Helm In Tears Of The Kingdom
To start this adventure, head to theGerudo Highlands Skyview Tower (-3959, -1313, 0422)and prepare to launch. Bring somecold gear or cold resistance food, as we will be spending plenty of time in the cold air above. The first spot you’ll want to head for is theNorth Gerudo Sky Archipelagonear(-3923, 0816, 1806), and thanks to theLow Gravityin this spot, navigation there will be rather easy. Our final destination will beLightcast Island(-3687, 1080, 1797).
Keep following thesmall islandsthat are in the sky, or utilize theVow of Tulinto your benefit. You’ll need to make it to the final island in this stretch, where there is aZonai Patrolmember waiting for you. Take them out, and land on thesmall moveable platformat (-4036, -0417, 1777).
Once you have landed on this particular platform, use theUltrahandand attach a fewrocketsto your platform. This will propel you closer to the final island, which can be seen in the photo below. If you have a fewspare fans, you could also attach them to the platform to keep the momentum going.
Once you have gotten a little closer, you’ll either want to useAutobuildif you have it, or create aFlying Machineout ofZonai Parts. Usetwo fansand asteering stickto create a small, but powerful, platform to move closer to the final island.
If you have plenty ofZonai Charges, it wouldn’t hurt to activate them now so you can make more distance. If you’re anything like me, however, and completely forgot to bring some, you’ll still be able to make it thanks to yourGliderand theVow of Tulin. Once your battery charge dies out, press theJump Buttonand immediately open yourGlider.
Make your way to the island shown in the photo above, also known asLightcast Island. If you have enoughStamina, you’ll have very little issue making it here, as theLow Gravitycombined with theVow of Tulinwill keep your momentum going rather well. You may run intoone small areathat Low Gravity disappears for, but you’ll still be able to make it with ease.

Once you have landed onLightcast Island, make your way to theUltrahand Portal(-3687, 1080, 1797)and get it activated. You’ll see aMirroractivate and clear a space at the backside of the island, where anotherZonai creaturewill be waiting. Dispatch them and make your way inside the cavern below.
You’ll find the cave at(-3802, 1008, 1790), with aMirror Puzzlewaiting for you at the bottom. Use theUltrahandand position themirrorsthat you find to point at another hidden in the darkness. It’s a rather easy puzzle until you get to the final piece. After activating the mirror,glide acrossand you’ll be ready for the next set.
There are a few more of these little puzzles you’ll need to complete, and once you reach thefinal mirror, you’ll be led into anew roomwith aZonai Patrolwaiting for you inside. Dispatch them with anarrowand take theirMirror shield. Position it within the light to activate the final light sensor, which activates an elevator.
Once you have gotten to the top of your ride, you’ll have one of two options available to claim theZonaite Helm:
I used theAscendability and reached theTreasure Chestcontaining theZonaite Helmwithout any issues. Now that we’ve claimed this piece of armor, let’s move on to the hardest one to get, theZonaiteWaistguard.

Where To Get Zonaite Waistguard In Tears Of The Kingdom
Start at theRabella Wetlands Skyview Tower (2419, -2762, 0222)and set a pin for theZonaite Forge Island (2334, -1766, 1830). First, however, we are going to be stopping at theNecluda Sky Archipelago (2669, -1686, 1401). As you are heading up toward the sky, look for theWaterfallto thenortheast.
As soon as you hit the apex of your jump out of theSkyview Tower, you’ll want to pop open your glider and start heading toward theWaterfallthat is cascading from the sky. Ride this up to the top, and you’ll find yourself on flat land with a small pond in the middle. Bring out yourUltrahandorAutobuildand create anotherflying machineusingZonai Fans and a Zonai Steering Stick.
You’re going to aim for thebottom partof this island, which should make the journey rather simple overall. If you have any extrabatteriesorZonai Charges, consume them before going over here to make sure the journey is a success. Once you land on the bottom of the island, search out theUltrahand Portalto activate the next part.
By activating theUltrahand Portal, you’ll be able to use thefan platformsaround this island toglideyour way up. If you need to preserve stamina, you can always land on the platforms and gather some up, or eat somefoodwith Stamina restoration properties. Once you make your way to the top, gently glide to the middle, right before the hole in front of you.
This is where things get interesting. As you approach the edge of the hole, you’ll see that there are plenty oflasersinside that will cause you significant damage. Once you have prepared, start your descent bydiving(R button)into the hole and deftly avoid them all. Once you reach the bottom of this area, you’ll find ashrineand our next objective.

At the bottom, make your way to the spot shown in the photo above(2368, -1752, 1475), as we’ll need toAscendinto that room. Using eitherwater or iceitems, create a few platforms that you can use to get underneath this lip. You can also grab them and move them around using theUltrahandto avoid meeting a firey demise. Once you are directly underneath this platform, use theAscendability and get into the room.
Congrats! You’ll find the treasure chest buried between two mounds of dirt, ready for you to open and claim the goods from inside. Now that you’ve gotten theZonaite Helm and Zonaite Waistguard, you’re ready to get theShin Guardsand complete the outfit.
Where To Get The Zonaite Shin Guards In Tears Of The Kingdom
Start at theUlri Mountain Skyview Tower(3493, 2019, 0188)and set your sights onSky Mines (4491, 2103, 1165)as your final destination. Along the way, we are also going to be stopping at theSokkala Sky Archipelago(3774, 1874, 0901)to utilize theZonai Flying machinethat they have there.
Target thefurthest pointon theSokkala Sky Archipelago, as seen in the photo above. You’ll see a large, squaregarden-lookingarea, and that’s where you’ll want to land. Once you have set your feet back on the ground, you’ll see that there is a pre-built flying machine, ripe for the taking. Grab any of the extra batteries that are on this island, attach them to your new contraption with theUltrahand, and get ready to head toward theSky Mines.

Thanks to the extra batteries, you likely shouldn’t have to use any of yourZonai Chargesto make it to theUltrahand Portal(4491, 2103, 1165), which is found on the nearestIslandin theMines. Activate this portal, and you’ll see that the machines spring to life, giving you the chance to shoot yourself toward the next island in the rotation. Examine the skies around you, and use theturnstilesin the middle to aim where you need to go.
You should alsoactivate the Shrineon this island so you may return, as the next parts can be a little tricky and can send you spinning back down to the lands ofHyrulerather quickly.
The first machine should be right in line with the next island, so stand on the platform and wait for it to shoot you up to the next island. Make sure that you pop your glider before landing to avoid taking any fall damage if you haven’tupgraded the Glide armor to negate it. The second platform, however, will require you to push it around a bit to get it to the right location. Once you see that you’re in a good spot, jump on and let it do the heavy lifting.
Now that you’ve arrived on the final island, it’s hard to not see the giant floatingballin the sky, right? You’ll need to get your launcher pointed in the right direction so you’re able to pick up any of thelarge cubeson this island and blast them into the hole. There is also afloating platformthat you’ll need to get out of the way. Eithergrab itwith theUltrahandand move it out of the way, or use the launcher to hit it with one of thecubeson the platform.
Once you have made sure that you have the launcher lined up with the hole, put one of thecubeson the launcher and watch it make its way in for a hopefulhole-in-one. If you hit it just right, the globe will start torotate, and the hole willpoint downward, giving you the chance to launch onto the globe and make it into the hole inside.

Just like with the previous islands, you’ll need to jump on this launcher and shoot yourself toward the rotating globe. You can either attempt to glide into the hole or climb on the globe to make it inside. It moves just ever so faster than you can glide, so you’ll want to try and aim ahead of it so you can make it the first time.
No matter how you make it inside, you’ll spot aTreasure Chestin the middle of the room. This contains the final piece of theZonaite Armor Set, theZonaite Shin Guards. Now that you’ve got all of the pieces, get ready to start seeing some electrifying new results next time you build aZonai creation.
