Tears of the Kingdom: The Dragon’s Tears quest — geoglyphs and tears locations
Table of Contents
“The Dragon’s Tears” is one of the main quests in Tears of the Kingdom. After learning about the Geoglyphs, you can visit 11 of them to unlock Zelda’s memories to view more of the game’s story.
Finding all of the Geoglyphs takes some effort though, as this quest is not a requirement for beating Tears of the Kingdom. The game does not actively push you toward its completion to the same degree it does with other quests. You must find the Geoglyphs yourself by using the limited number of clues that the game provides. Each Geoglyph provides a specific story cutscene, so you must also find them in the correct order. If you visit them out of order, you risk spoiling the story for yourself.
Below is a list of all 12 Geoglyphs, the correct order for finding them, their locations, and where their tears are.
