How to Use Zonai Wing Devices in Tears of the Kingdom

Learn how to use Zonai Wing devices in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! Discover how to steer, manage their lifespan, and where to find them.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon these Zonai Wing devices and are wondering how to actually get them to, you know, *fly*? No worries, it's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Think of them as unpowered gliders – they need a little push to get going.

You'll usually find these wings near launch ramps with guide trenches. Your first step is to use your Ultrahand ability. Grab the wing and position it so it's lined up with the trench, pointing down the ramp. Now, here's a pro-tip: get yourself positioned *in front* of the wing, further down the ramp. If you jump on too early, it might just take off without you!

Once you're on the wing, you're basically riding a glider high in the air. The tricky part is knowing when and where your ride is going to end. Wings have a limited lifespan. You'll see it start to flash green, and the flashing will get faster as it's about to dissolve. If you have your Paraglider, you're usually in luck – you can just deploy that to land safely. But if you don't have it yet, make sure you're either over water or pretty close to the ground when the wing gives out. You don't want to be falling from a great height!

Even though they're not perfect, wings have a cool advantage over the Paraglider: they don't use stamina to steer. While the Paraglider is fine for diving, it eats stamina if you're trying to glide horizontally. So, even with the Paraglider, you might still find yourself reaching for a wing.

Quick Tip: Standing right in the center of the wing helps keep it stable and can make it last a bit longer.

How to Steer the Zonai Wing

So, how do you actually control this thing? There's no engine, no joystick. It's all about your body weight! To point the wing downwards, walk towards the nose. Want to turn? Just walk over to the side of the wing in the direction you want to go. You can combine these movements to make wider turns or gentler dives. The closer you are to the center, the less your body weight will affect the wing's direction. Plus, staying near the center seems to make the wing last longer, which is great if you're trying to cover a lot of horizontal distance. Just try not to ram it into a cliff – that's usually a bad idea!
