The Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom functions much in the same way as in the last game. The thing to note here is that you will not start with it in your possession, making the tutorial section quite tricky for those that hate climbing. Thankfully, it doesn’t take long for the Paraglider to become available, however.
You see, you’ll receive the Paraglider after arriving in Hyrule, and after completing a short main mission. The Paraglider is absolutely essential for exploring, so consider following the main path for a few hours or so after beating the tutorial. You’ll pick up new functions for your Purah Pad along the way, and learn more about where the game wants you to go.
Here’s where to get the Paraglider in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, as well as a bit of info on how to use it. Note that you will need to push through the opening section on the Sky Islands before you’ll be able to reach Hyrule’s ground map.
How to get the Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom
Tears of the Kingdom’s opening 2 or 3 hours take place on a huge Sky Island map. You will need to visit Shrines to power up your new arm, while learning the abilities that you’ll be using for the rest of the game. Once this section is complete, you will dive down to ground-level. This is where you can pick up the Paraglider.
We’ve marked the location you’re looking for on the map above, but you will not have full access to this region’s map yet. Head towards Hyrule castle, and you will see a small settlement, found South of the main gate. Generally, you will land South of Lookout Landing after your first descent from the sky islands. Head North and you will come across Lookout Landing.
