Key Takeaways

What Are Geoglyphs In Tears of the Kingdom?

Like Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom relies on environmental storytelling and lore to provide the full context of the story. The Dragon Tears found on each of these Geoglyph locations play a short cutscene once you interact with them. Each of these cutscenes provides new insight into different characters like Zelda and Raruru or sometimes about Hyrule in general.

Visiting each Geoglyph location on the map in the correct order will give you a much clearer idea of the Tears of the Kingdom’s lore than seeing it in jumbled order. These Geoglyphs are located on different parts of the map. The best way to find them is by launching yourself up high in the air using a nearby Skyview Tower or a self-constructed airmobile, as the overhead view helps locate the Geoglyphs more easily.

Impa And The Geoglyphs

The Dragon Tears questline is an extension of the Impa and the Geoglyphs questline, and it is recommended to go through this questline before hunting down all of the Dragon Tears. Impa can be found in the New Serenne Stable, near the Sinkawak Shrine in the Hyrule Field area.

Important: His location is exactly where the first Geoglyph is, which is discussed below.

Follow the Impa’s instructions and complete his quest for the first Dragon Tear. Following the quest further will take you to Mayausiy Shrine and give a rough estimate of where to find each of these Geoglyphs.
