Collecting Geoglyphs in 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' helps unlock the legendary Master Sword

In 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom', Geoglyphs serve as more than simply an additional piece of lore — you must use them in order to get Master Sword. Here are instructions on how to obtain each Geoglyph in Tears of the Kingdom as well as information on its purpose.

Tears of the Kingdom offers players a ton of activities, such as searching for armor, globetrotting, and discovering the fabled Master Sword. But while you wander Hyrule, you could stumble upon some enigmatic Geoglyphs that will give you the legendary weapon you've been searching for when you gather them all.

Why is June 6, 2023, a big day for horror genre fans?

What are Geoglyphs

The Master Sword in Tears of the Kingdom is obtained through Geoglyphs. To achieve it, though, you'll have to track down all 12 scattered around Hyrule. In essence, Geoglyphs are comparable to Breath of the Wild's Captured Memories. They examine historical occurrences through Zelda's point of view and aid in revealing more intricate facets of the game's narrative as well as the mastery of the fabled Master Sword.

Each Geoglyph has a separate memory 'stored' within a pool of water that may be discovered anywhere on the Geoglyph, and players must find 12 different Geoglyphs around Hyrule. And much as in Breath of the Wild, many of Tears of the Kingdom's tale sequences may be found in these Captured Memories.

All Locations of the Geoglyphs

Where Am I?

The player is essentially handed the first Memory when Impa herself assists them in viewing the whole Geoglyph from above (which looks to be a picture of a Zonai, most likely Rauru). The Memories begin at Memory three because the previous two are story-related Memories. Players only need to go to the New Serenne Stable in the North Hyrule Plain and take the road north (to the map's top) to get there.

Talking to Impa here will really 'begin' the quest as she guides the player over to the pool of water towards the top of the Geoglyph. Players should find Impa standing up on a platform overlooking the Geoglyph shortly after crossing the split in the road, one headed North and the other South.

An Unfamiliar World

Players should go straight northwest to Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower from the first Geoglyph with Impa (it should be simple to see owing to the lighting). The next Geoglyph is simple to access after unlocking and activating this Tower.

Mineru's Counsel

At least chronologically, the third Geoglyph is rather far away from the first two. Link just needs to go east toward Death Mountain and Zora's Domain to get there. Go to Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower, which is located immediately west of Lake Ferona on the map (to the south of Death Mountain).

The Gerudo Assault

The Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower and the Riverside Stable are both near the following Geoglyph as you return to Central Hyrule. It's really directly east of Baltrea Lake, which is situated between the two places, to be more specific.

A Show of Fealty

It's time to travel to the Gerudo Highlands in southwest Hyrule for the seventh Dragon Tear. Players should go southwest once they get to the Gerudo Highlands until they can clearly see the lights of the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. Alternatively, they can head to the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower, which is located just south of the term "Gerudo Highlands" on the map.

Zelda and Sonia

These two are two examples of Geoglyphs that are positioned very near to one another. Place the cursor just north of the position of the seventh Memory on the map. Continue dragging it north until it reaches the Illumeni Plateau, which is located around halfway up the darker 'lack of a map' form, for those who haven't yet disclosed this region of the map.

Sonia Is Caught by Treachery

We're down to the last few Geoglyphs, and the ninth one is just at the border of the map of Hyrule. Players must go to the crescent-shaped peninsula located just south of the words "East Necluda" on the map in order to find this one. To be more specific, this is Cape Cresia, and the Geoglyph's image of a curved, ornate dagger fills the whole crescent-shaped continent.

The Birth of the Demon King

The next Dragon Tear is located in the Hebra Mountains, on the diagonally opposite side of the globe from the ninth one, and ranges from tropical beaches to frigid wastelands. To be more precise, it is northeast of the Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower or practically precisely north of the Snowfield Stable on the border of the map.

The Sages' Vow

Another extreme 'edge' of the map, this time on the eastern side, is where the next tear in the line is located. Players may identify the Geoglyph immediately before the area where it reads "Talus Plateau" by simply moving their mouse south from the "L" in "Lanayru Sea" on the fully zoomed-out map screen.

A King's Duty

Head in the direction of the Bridge of Hylia on the map to find the second-to-last Geoglyph in this questline (though it is actually the third-to-last). The following Geoglyph, which shows a tombstone with flowers planted in front of it, is located just on the western 'edge' of Lake Hylia (parallel to Hylia Island).

A Master Sword In Time

The 'final' Dragon Tear of all the Geoglyphs, one that (clearly by the title of this post) portrays Master Sword, is now accessible to players after completing the A King's Duty Memory. You may locate it by going just south of the location where the word "Eldin Mountains" appears on the map. Players may find the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower amid the tiny island encircled by water to the north of the Great Hyrule Forest, which will simplify things.
