The Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an item that players would want to get their hands on as quickly as possible. Let’s take a look at the method to unlock the Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

It is hard to imagine exploring the open world in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom without a Paraglider. It is one of the most efficient modes of transportation in the entire game and you’ll need it to explore the sky islands as well.

Unlike Breath of the Wild which handed out the Paraglider at the outset of your journey, Tears of the Kingdom expects players to complete some tasks and rightfully earn the Paraglider.

On that note, here’s everything to know about unlocking a Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to get the Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You can unlock the Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda by activating the Sky Tower in the Lookout Landing Base Camp. This is a part of the main story implying that you’ll have to spend some time in the campaign to unlock the feature.

In the initial sections of the story, Link has to visit The Chasm which has opened up below the Hyrule Castle. Here, he comes across Captain Hoz who shares his observations regarding the Chasm with Link.

After this interaction, all you need to do is head back to Lookout Landing in the game where Purah repairs the Sky Tower and asks you to activate them to create a map of Hyrule.

At the end of this questline, Purah will reward you with the Paraglider that helps in exploring the skies and the mysterious sky islands.

Well, this was everything to know about unlocking the Paraglider in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. For more content on the game:
