Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Kakariko Village in West Necluda and speak with Chief Paya.

    Find the floating ring ruin in front of her. Climb the scaffolding and use Ascend to enter.
  3. 3
    Take a picture of the ancient Zonai slab inside the ruin using your Purah Pad Camera.
  4. 4
    Return to Paya and Tauro. They will decipher the slab, revealing clues about the Ring Ruins.

    Meet Tauro and his researcher friend Calip at the base of Popla Foothills Skyview Tower, southwest of Kakariko Village.

    Calip will tell you Tauro has gone to Dracozu Lake. Head southeast from the tower to find the lake.

    Open the Zonai chest in the room to find the Charged Shirt. Equip it.
