Learn how to use Zonai Device Dispensers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Discover what they are, how to get Zonai capsules, and what items to exchange.
Device Dispensers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom resemble gumball or capsule vending machines. You can find your first one on the Great Sky Island, between the In-isa Shrine and Gutanbac Shrine. After using a Zonai fan-powered minecart to reach an elevated island, continue south and look to your right. A Maker Construct may offer a tutorial, but this guide will clarify the process.
Device Dispensers work similarly to cooking pots. You make offerings in a shallow bowl in front of the dispenser, and it will dispense Zonai capsules containing various devices like fans, wings, and flame emitters. These devices can be deployed to areas where they wouldn't normally be available.
To get Zonai capsules, you need to exchange items with the Device Dispenser. The primary forms of currency accepted are Construct Horns and Zonai Charges, both of which are dropped by defeated constructs. These enemies respawn, allowing for farming.
The process of exchanging items is identical to cooking. Access your inventory (), select the item you wish to exchange, and hold them using . Press to increase the number of items held, up to a maximum of five. Press to exit your inventory. If you are standing near and facing a Device Dispenser's input bowl, you will see a "Put in" prompt (). Place the items in the bowl to receive Zonai capsules.
Keep in mind that the Zonai capsules dispensed are random in type, though not in number. You are not guaranteed a specific device, so you may need to make multiple exchanges to get a desired item like a Zonai fan.
The items you exchange do not determine the type of device you receive, but they can influence the number of Zonai capsules dispensed. Zonai Charges are generally more valuable than Construct Horns, yielding two Zonai capsules per charge compared to one for a Construct Horn.
Different Device Dispensers may have different stocks. For example, the dispenser between In-isa Shrine and Gutanbac Shrine cannot dispense wings, while another dispenser past Gutanbac Shrine can. You can check what each Device Dispenser can yield by selecting it on the map, but this information is only available after you have personally discovered its stock by receiving capsules from it.
