Kakariko Village: Investigating the Ring Ruins

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom guide · Investigating the Zonai ruins

Following the events at Hyrule Castle, Link travels to Kakariko Village to examine the floating Zonai Ring Ruins suspended above the settlement. Paya and Tauro initially bar access to the fifth floating ruin under Zelda's orders, but Link eventually gains permission to investigate inside. Photographing the stone slate inscription within the floating ring reveals clues that advance the search for the fifth Sage.

Tips

You must use the Purah Pad's Camera rune to take a picture of the stone slab inside the floating ruin rather than interacting with it by hand.
You cannot enter the final floating Ring Ruin until you resolve the Crisis at Hyrule Castle main quest, as Calip will stop you from approaching.
