How to get into the Lost Woods in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Add as a preferred source on Google

The Lost Woods return in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, though the strategy for getting through them is much different than in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Instead of using the wind to guide you, you’ll have to utilize a different approach this time around. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to get into the Lost Woods in Tears of the Kingdom.

Unfortunately, you can’t walk through the Lost Woods from the main entrance — or any entrance on the surface, for that matter. Instead, you must head to the Minishi Woods Chasm, which is located just southeast of the Lost Woods. Here, you’ll need to drop down below into the depths, using your paraglider.

Glide down, and when you reach the bottom, we recommend placing a waypoint on the Korok Forest to the northwest, to make it easier to know where you’re going. At the bottom, be careful as you navigate toward the Korok Forest. You’ll have to cross through some liquid that afflicts you with Gloom, so we recommend coming equipped with Sundelions to prevent the effects.

Keep going toward Korok Forest, and you’ll eventually reach an area directly below it.

From here, you’ll want to use the Ascend ability on the large, flat surface above to maneuver to the top. You’ll then arrive inside the Korok Forest, where you’ll find a number of NPCs and other activities. After you’ve traveled here once, you won’t need to go through the Depths anymore. Instead, you’ll be able to fast travel here.

Remember when 16GB RAM was enough?

For years, PC gamers have joked that game developers treat hardware requirements like a shopping list. Cinder City might have just taken that joke a little too seriously. The game's newly listed recommended PC specs ask for a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's a figure that's raising eyebrows because almost everything else on the list looks surprisingly… normal.

64GB RAM paired with an RTX 4060?

Earlier today, Sony announced it will stop making physical game discs for new PlayStation titles starting in January 2028. It looks like Microsoft is heading in the same direction, but with a consumer-friendly approach: Xbox owners may not have to leave their disc collections behind.

According to The Verge's Tom Warren, Microsoft has been quietly working on a disc-to-digital feature for Xbox. It's called Disc2Digital internally, and lets players convert their physical games into permanent digital licenses.

Sony is closing the PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita, ending new digital purchases on two of its most beloved older platforms after a remarkably long run.

The PS3 launched in 2006 and 2007, depending on the region, while the PS Vita arrived in Japan in late 2011 before reaching North America and Europe in February 2012. By the time the final closures happen in July 2027, Sony will have supported PS3 store purchases for nearly two decades, and PS Vita purchases for more than 15 years.
