How to Use the Flame Emitter Zonai Device

Learn how to use the Flame Emitter Zonai Device in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! Discover its uses for building, combat, and utility.

Alright, let's talk about the Flame Emitter, one of those super handy Zonai devices you'll be finding in Shrines and from those Zonai Device Dispensers scattered around Hyrule. Think of it like a little flamethrower you can stick onto anything with Ultrahand. When it's active, it shoots fire in the direction you've pointed it. You turn it on and off by hitting it, kind of like the fans.

These things are surprisingly versatile. For building, they're awesome with those Balloon Zonai devices. Stick a Flame Emitter underneath a balloon setup, give it a tap to activate, and the heat will make the balloons rise. You'll often find Flame Emitters and Balloons together in the same Shrines, like the Sinakawak Shrine – they just work so well together!

But they're not just for flying contraptions. You can fuse a Flame Emitter to a weapon or a shield, and BAM – instant fire attack! This is great for setting enemies ablaze, obviously, but it's also super useful for clearing out those annoying bramble thorns that block your path. You can even use it to cook food in a pinch, though honestly, using wood and flint is usually easier. Just be aware that burning stuff, especially flammable things like brambles, can create updrafts. You can use these gusts of wind to help you paraglide, which is a neat bonus. For example, if you need to get past some thorny patches blocking the way to the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower, a Flame Emitter is your best friend.

You can find Flame Emitter Zonai Capsules from specific Zonai Device Dispensers. Here are a few places to look:

• South Great Island Sky Dispenser
• East Great Sky Island Dispenser
• West Hebra Sky Archipelago

Remember, you can also find these capsules in chests throughout Hyrule.
