Hebra Tower Region

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide · Exploring the northwest

The Hebra Tower Region covers the frigid, snow-covered mountains in the far northwestern corner of Hyrule. Players traverse sub-zero terrain, deep snowdrifts, and blizzard winds to reach high-altitude shrines and explore icy peaks. Essential activities include hunting large wildlife, shield-surfing mountain slopes, and using warm gear or fire to melt pervasive ice blocks.

Tips

Keep a flame weapon equipped on your back while exploring to passively gain one level of cold resistance and slowly melt nearby ice without using weapon durability.
Use a wooden shield rather than a metal shield on Hebra's slopes to maximize glide speed while shield surfing on the snow.
