Mastering Thunderhead Isles: A Guide to Conquering Zelda's Tears of the Kingdom

The Thunderhead Isles of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are located in the sky above the Faron region and are initially engulfed in a storm. Although it is possible to navigate through the storm, it is not advised. Instead, players should first clear the storm before exploring the Thunderhead Isles. This guide provides a detailed explanation of how to accomplish this task.

It should be noted that clearing the storm is related to Tears of the Kingdom's main quests, and some information about the names and sequence of these quests will be included in the following text. Players who wish to avoid spoilers for the main story may want to stop reading now, but rest assured that they will eventually be able to explore the Thunderhead Isles without worrying about the weather.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - How to See on Thunderhead Isles

To clear the storm on the Thunderhead Isles, players must complete TotK's Regional Phenomena main quest. This task, assigned by Purah after activating Lookout Landing Skyview Tower, involves assisting the Rito, Zora, Goron, and Gerudo. Although a significant endeavor, completing this quest is essential and will require a considerable amount of time from fans.

Upon completing assistance for all four races, players will be directed back to Purah to receive a new task. This task is intricately tied to the main quest of TotK's Crysis at Hyrule Castle, but we won't reveal any further details to avoid spoiling the game for fans. However, upon completion of this task, players will be rewarded with a fresh and exciting quest from Purah.

Players can embark on a new quest called "Find the Fifth Sage," which leads to another quest named "Secret of the Ring Ruins." The exact steps to transition between these quests are not provided here, but players seeking assistance can refer to the complete walkthrough of TotK's "Find the Fifth Sage" main quest. Once players begin "Secret of the Ring Ruins," they should complete the objectives and follow the path that leads them to Dracozu Lake. At this location, players will encounter a riddle that involves wearing "electric garb" and offering a Zonai Charge to an altar. Solving this riddle will clear the storm on the Thunderhead Isles. For those who require guidance with this puzzle, the complete walkthrough of TotK's "Secret of the Ring Ruins" main quest offers all the necessary information.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
