How to get Paraglider in Zelda: TotK (+ Unlock All Fabrics)

Soar into the sky and glide with fashion in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Paraglider is integral to gameplay in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This small utility item, which has made the jump from its predecessor, opens a whole new world of traversal possibilities. Not only does it break your fall, but it also allows you to reach places inaccessible before.

While you will get a Paraglider a few hours into the game, looking at the same boring piece of fabric can get old quickly. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom allows players to change the fabric and appearance of their gliders without affecting their usage.

In this guide, we will look at how you can obtain the paraglider and all its fabrics throughout your adventure.

How to get the Paraglider in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

You must complete four main story shrines on the Main Sky Island before getting the paraglider in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Thankfully, these shrines are short and equip you with compulsory abilities like Ultrahand, which you will need throughout the game.

Once done, you will be tasked to jump down and reach the land of Hyrule. Your next task will be to travel to the Lookout Landing and observe what is happening with the Hyrule Castle. This is all a part of the main story quest.

Proceed to complete the To the Kingdom of Hyrule quest and talk to Purah at the Lookout Landing. You will automatically get the Paraglider from her once you unlock the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower and finish the Crisis at Hyrule Castle quest.

How to use the Paraglider in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Using the Paraglider in the game is quite simple. Press the Jump key when the Link is in the air. This will make Link glide slowly toward the ground instead of falling at great speed.

However, it’s not necessary to always jump in the air to use Paraglider. You can also enable it by double-pressing the jump button when standing in an updraft. As you do it, Link will use the Paraglider and glide until the end of the Updraft zone.

Keep in mind that you need to have ample stamina to cover great distances while gliding. That is why we recommend upgrading your stamina capacity as soon as possible in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to get all Paraglider Fabrics in Zelda: TotK

The Paraglider Fabrics are skins you can apply to your Paraglider. Some fabrics can be unlocked using amiibo, while the rest can be found by completing various activities and quests.

FYI

You can’t upgrade the Paraglider and can only change its designs with various fabrics. We recommend getting the Glide Armor set instead to improve your Paragliding skills.

To change the fabric of Paraglider, you need to find and reach Hateno Village first. Talk to Sayge, a master dyer, inside Kochi Dye Shop (3401, -2143, 0121). He has some fabrics unlocked automatically that you can apply for 20 rupees each. To unlock the rest, you must finish his tasks (which involve taking pictures mostly) or complete some quests to unlock the desired fabric.

Below is a list of all the Paraglider Fabrics you can unlock for your Paraglider in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
