All Geoglyph Memory locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Jesse Lennox
By

A similar storytelling technique from Breath of the Wild returns in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is using memories to fill in gaps in the narrative. These, like most activities in the game, are not required to actually complete the game but are essential if you want to fully understand the narrative and history of Hryule and its people. There are 11 to find and view on the main map — none are on a Sky Island or down in the Depths — with a final Geoglyph appearing only after you’ve collected all the others. These appear as giant pictures of figures when viewed from above (hence the name), with a Dragon Tear somewhere on the figure you need to interact with so we will refer to them based on their official numbering, but you are able to find the first 11 in any order you wish. If you’re ready to dive into some memories in Tears of the Kingdom, here’s where you can find all the Geoglyph Memories.

Straight south of Eldin Canyon, this image of a Switch, or Purah Pad, has the Tear directly in the middle.

Coordinates: 1828, 0737, 0089

Tear of the Dragon #4

On the southeast side of Hyrule field, close to Batrea Lake, this curling dragon holds the Tear on the bottom left where its tail curls back.

South of Gerudo Highlands, this one is tricky since it is carved onto a cliff wall. The Tear itself is on a ledge where Ganondorf’s shoulder lays.

Coordinates: -3178, -1699, 0418

Tear of the Dragon #6

Between Hyrule Ridge and the Gerudo Highlands on the Illumeni Plateau, the Tear is on the right side of Sonia’s dress.

Coordinates: -3096, -0077, 0211

Tear of the Dragon #7

Way down in Cape Cresla, this massive sword has a Tear on the left side of the handguard when looking at it with the blade pointing away from you.

Coordinates: 3325, -3566, 0004

Tear of the Dragon #8

Up in the Tabatha Tundra, beyond the Snowfield stable, look hard through the snowy weather to find the Geoglyph of the Demon King. The Tear itself is on the western side of the image.

Coordinates: -1863, 3621, 0236

Tear of the Dragon #9

On the Talus Plateau, this small Geoglyph holds the Tear on the top left side.

Coordinates: 4467, -0304, 0074

Tear of the Dragon #10

Right on the western edge of Lake Hylia, the Tear is on the top of the left flower of the Shrine.

Coordinates: -0649, -2683, 0068

Tear of the Dragon #11

This is another tricky one but look for the cliff right on the edge of the Eldin Mountains coming from the east. The Tear is on the tip of the blade.

Coordinates: 0891, 2951, 0362

Final Geoglyph

The tricky part about finding the last Geoglyph is that, well, there isn’t a Geoglyph at all to help you spot it. Instead, head to the Rist Peninsula at the far northeast end of the map and enter the swirling section of land. Get to the center of the spiral to see the final Tear near the Gemimik Shrine.

The best weapons in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Link holding the master sword in the clouds.

Prior to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link's arsenal of weapons was usually limited to a couple of options. You could count on having a sword, a ranged weapon like a bow, and a handful of other weapons. But since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom continues with the weapon durability system from that game, Link will be swapping out weapons far more frequently.

Since just about anything can be used as a weapon, even a stick, the power difference between the worst and best weapons is massive. Just as massive, however, is the size of Hyrule this time around. That can make the best, more unique weapons far more difficult to get your hands on. If you're trying to gear up before taking the fight to Ganon, here are the best weapons and where to find them in Tears of the Kingdom.

All weapon Passive Abilities in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Thanks to the weapon durability system returning in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from Breath of the Wild, you will be swapping out weapons all the time. At first, you will only be concerned with having something to defend yourself with, but eventually, you will acquire a nice stash of tools to dispatch your many foes. At this point, you will start comparing damage numbers, but that's not the only factor you should consider when deciding which weapon to wield. Passive Abilities are granted to some weapons that give them a special trait that can make them more useful than they seem at first. To better understand your arsenal, here are all the Passive Abilities in Tears of the Kingdom and what they do.
All Passive Abilities

Passive Abilities are buffs that a specific weapon can come with to give it an edge of some form. You can see the name of a Passive Ability under a weapon when you're quick-switching, or examining a weapon in your inventory. There are 15 possible Passive Abilities in Tears of the Kingdom that are well worth learning about. Also know that if you fuse a weapon with a Passive Ability, it will transfer over to your new fused weapon, so don't worry about losing any buffs by fusion.
Breaking Point
- Damage increases when the weapon is close to breaking.
Charged Attack Stamina Up
- Consumes less stamina for charged attacks.
Demolisher
- Weapon is usable for breaking cracked walls and rocks.
Desperate Strength
- Damage increases when you only have one heart.
Extra Durable
- Weapon does not break easily.
Fuse Recycling
- Materials fused with the weapon can be reused again and again.
Gloom Toll
- Weapon Contains Gloom.
Improved Flurry Rush
- Increases the power of Flurry Rush.
Quick Charge
- Enables quicker charged attacks.
Revitalized Sword of Legend
- Exclusive to the Master Sword - allows the Master Sword to regain durability over time.
Strong Fusion
- Enhances the fused Material's power but does not add as much durability.
Water Warrior
- Increases attack power when the weapon gets wet.
Wind Busrt
- Weapon produces a strong wind.
Wind Razor
- Creates vacuums when performing an attack
Zonaite-Powered
- Increases attack power if the weapon is fused with a Zonite device.

Zeldas: Tears of the Kingdom players are creating an industrial revolution
Link with a created mining rig in Tears of the Kingdom.

I expected a lot of cool contraptions to be built when Nintendo revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the long-awaited sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, was going to have a full crafting system. What I didn't expect, though, was that fans would bring a full-on industrial revolution to Hyrule using Ultrahand.

In this new open-world Zelda title, players are given the ability to put together doohickeys of all shapes and sizes. Whether you're making a caveman-style hammer by attaching a simple rock to a stick or a flying boat with a turbo-fan engine to take flight, there seems to be something for every class of player to mold from their imagination. But some players are going even further, creating machinery that calls back to history's own evolution.
