Is the Paraglider in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?

The Legend of Zelda series contains numerous items and tools to aid Link in his adventures. While the Master Sword and Hylian Shield are the most well-known, a more recent item has quickly joined their fame—the Paraglider. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Paraglider became an instant classic, leaving many wondering if it will return in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Does The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom have the Paraglider?

The answer is yes—the Paraglider returns and appears in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This was confirmed early through Tears of the Kingdom's trailers. In addition to returning, the Paraglider features a new design, ribbons trailing behind it, and even lets you customize its appearance with amiibo.

Depending on what amiibo you use, you will receive different designs for the Paraglider. These are primarily other amiibo from The Legend of Zelda series, such as the Rider Link, Zelda & Loftwing, Majora's Mask, and Tears of the Kingdom Link. However, we do not know the full list of amiibo that give Paraglider designs.

The Paraglider is an iconic item first introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and since its introduction, numerous games have included a similar element. This includes Horizon: Forbidden West, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Genshin Impact, and more. The Paraglider's impact on gaming earns it a place in Tears of the Kingdom, and we are happy to see its return.
