The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Geoglyphs are an important facet of the campaign.

Here’s our guide to help you with finding all 11 Geoglyphs as part of the Geoglyphs and the Dragon’s Tears questline in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Because this questline will take place over the course of a great portion of the game, you should proceed with a spoiler warning.

What are Geoglyphs and Dragon’s Tears?
Before we discuss all the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Geoglyphs as part of the Dragon’s Tears main quest, let’s talk about what they actually are. Basically, these are huge drawings on the ground and on terrain features (akin to the Nazca Lines in Peru). They depict various personages and objects and, in certain parts of the pattern, you’ll notice the following:
- A more opaque/darker “tear” – This is the Dragon’s Tear, a small pool of water that you can interact with. Once you do that, you’ll watch a cutscene, which can be replayed via the Memories tab.
- Small rock – Each Geoglyph also has at least one small rock. Pick it up and you’ll receive a Korok Seed.
Geoglyphs and Dragon’s Tears map
In any case, it’s very hard to discover the exact location of a Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Geoglyph or Dragon’s Tear if you’re just running around at ground level. As such, the idea is to use various Skyview Towers to see the surrounding area from higher up in the air. From there, you can glide/skydive or use the floating islands in the sky region of the map.
