Learn how to unlock and use Hero's Path Mode in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Discover the prerequisites and how to view your journey on the map.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prerequisites: Before you can unlock Hero's Path Mode, you must complete the following:
    • Regional Phenomena (requires at least one temple completion)
  2. 2
    Camera Work in the Depths
  3. 3
    A Mystery in the Depths
  4. 4
    Hateno Village Research Lab side adventure
  5. 5
    Unlock Hero's Path Mode: After completing the prerequisites, visit Robbie at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. He will offer three upgrades for the Purah Pad; select the Hero's Path Mode option.
  6. 6
    Complete the Side Adventure: To complete this side adventure, you need data for at least 15 shrines. This means discovering and potentially activating 15 shrines. You may already have enough if you've explored extensively.
  7. 7
    Return to Robbie: Once you have data for 15 shrines, return to Robbie at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab to complete the side adventure.
  8. 8
    Using Hero's Path Mode: Open your map and press the X button. This will display a trace of the path you have taken since the beginning of the game, recording up to 256 hours of playtime. Additional controls for speeding up the path display will be available at the bottom of the screen.
Tips
  • You might already have enough shrine data to complete the adventure without actively seeking more shrines.
  • The game doesn't explicitly state if you need to have completed the shrine puzzles or just opened them for Robbie's data.
  • Hero's Path Mode is a visual representation of your journey across Hyrule.
