The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom expands the kingdom of Hyrule in a huge way with the addition of Sky Islands. Fittingly, you will begin your playthrough on Great Sky Island following the opening scene, and you will soon be given your first opportunity to dive.
This can only be done from high places and you will not take fall damage, given you land in a body of water. However, you can easily recognize locations from which you’re able to dive, as you will be prompted to do so when you stand close enough to the ledge.
We’ve laid out the details so you can learn how to dive early on in Tears of the Kingdom.
- Just tap an amiibo accessory to the NFC touchpoint on a compatible system
- Compatible with Nintendo Switch Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening
- Enjoy fun in-game extra features in compatible games on the Nintendo Switch system, New Nintendo 2DS XL system, New Nintendo 3DS XL system and Wii U console
How Do You Dive in Tears of the Kingdom?
From the beginning of Tears of the Kingdom, you can dive from high ledges on Great Sky Island by pressing the A button to jump when directed to do so. While diving, you can then press the R button to accelerate.
You’ll land in a small pond or lake, requiring you to swim to the edge. This will use up Link’s stamina, so be sure to rest on lily pads along the way if you’re running low on energy.
From this point forward, you will have ample opportunities to dive throughout the kingdom of Hyrule and explore the terrain in all-new ways. Although, you won’t be able to dive from every ledge or cliff until you get Link’s paraglider. For this reason, you should only dive from designated locations in the early game.

How Do You Skydive in Tears of the Kingdom?
Diving and skydiving are virtually interchangeable in Tears of the Kingdom, as they utilize the same mechanics. You can skydive and paraglide from high cliffs and Skyview Towers throughout the kingdom.
How Do You Get the Glide Shirt (Wingsuit) in Tears of the Kingdom?
With the help of certain armor sets like the Glide Shirt, you can improve your mobility while skydiving. Also known as Link’s wingsuit, the Glide Shirt can be obtained by completing the Trial of Courage on Courage Island.
The test will require you to dive through a series of hoops in under 35 seconds. If you can manage, the Steward Construct will reward you with the Glide Shirt. This item is excellent to have, as it can help you skydive and snag star fragments with ease.
All in all, diving is one of the most exciting ways to get around in Tears of the Kingdom. With the addition of separate regions including the Surface, Sky Islands, and the Depths, the implementation of diving is not only appropriate, but also incredibly helpful. Be sure to explore Hyrule with the dive feature as much as possible on your playthrough.
