Find Zelda

Interact with the glowing terminal next to the Steward Construct to draw a bridge out to the next small island. Cross to the other side and head to the north edge to find a ledge you can dive down from.

Before you cannonball down, check the decayed construct next to the tree for a Zonai Charge!

Find the Staircase

Once you're on the large island below, walk north until you find a big staircase in a pond.

You can also improve the restorative effect of your food items (like Apples) before you proceed by roasting them on the nearby campfire.

Pick Up Zonai Charges From Decayed Constructs

Examine the decayed constructs you find to easily get Zonai Charges. These can be collected and used to restore power to Energy Cells, trade Zonai items, or roll the Device Dispenser later on to obtain Zonai Materials—items needed to build functional contraptions with Ultrahand.

Zonai Charges can also be obtained by defeating Constructs.

Roast Food Items to Improve Effect

Throwing food items like Apples and Skyshrooms into a fire or a cooking pot increases their restorative effect. This is a good way to stock up on healing items especially when you don't have enough materials yet to prepare a dish!

Reach Temple of Time

At the top of the stairs is the entrance to the Temple of Time, guarded by another Soldier Construct I. Throw one of your weapons at the guard to stun and disarm it, making it easier to defeat.

Approach the gate and interact with the glowing symbol when you're done sparring to receive a cutscene and your next objective.

How to Throw Items and Materials

Unlock the Temple of Time

The door will only unlock after your arm regains enough of its power. You must complete the new Main Quest, The Closed Door, by visiting the three shrines in the island and clearing their trials.

In the process, you will gain three new abilities: Ultrahand, Fuse, and Ascend.

Proceed through the Temple of Time

Now that the arm is revitalized, the seal can finally be undone to unlock the Temple of Time. Approach the golden bead on the pedestal for a cutscene, as well as receive the Recall ability.

Use this newly gained ability on the gears in front of you to reverse the direction to which they rotate, and use them to get on the upper floor.

Open the Big Door

There's a Goddess Statue ahead, but you can't do anything with it yet with only three Light of Blessing. Walk towards the large door behind the statue and try to open it. Ta-da! You're now down to a quarter heart and the door didn't even budge. Rauru says you need one more Light of Blessing to increase your heart limit.

Your hearts will be fully replenished, by the way, so don't worry.

Fast Travel to Nachoyah Shrine

Remember the blue circles on the ground inside the Room of Awakening and outside the shrines you unlocked? You can now use them as fast travel points to move instantaneously across the map! Open the map with the minus (-) button and fast travel back to the Room of Awakening.

Unlock more shrines to add more fast travel points, and when you need to get to an area far from your current location, check if there are any nearby points you can teleport to!

Fast Travel Guide: How to Warp

Clear Nachoyah Shrine

The fourth shrine is actually within the Room of Awakening, with the coordinates of 0389, -1661, 2299.

Use Recall on the Moving Gears

Use Recall on the gears to reverse their rotation and get to the opening on the other side. Follow the tunnel to find the next shrine.

There's a Steward Construct and a crystal refinery outside the shrine where you can trade Crystallized Charges for Energy Wells—items that increase the capacity of your Energy Cell.

Master the Recall Ability

Now's the time to practice using the Recall ability. Enter Nachoyah Shrine and complete The Ability to Rewind trial to obtain the fourth blessing.

The Recall ability allows you to rewind the movement of objects, like reversing the direction of which an object moves or send a projectile back to where it came from.

Recall Ability Guide

Open the Second Door

Return to the Temple of Time and offer four Lights of Blessing for an additional Heart Container. This should be enough to open the door at the back.

Examine the Final Altar

Head outside and cross through the bridge segments with Ascend. Approach the altar and examine the orb to complete this part of your search for Zelda and receive the next main quest.

Return to Hyrule

You will now need to dive down from the Great Sky Island back to Hyrule Kingdom. Follow the To the Kingdom of Hyrule Main Quest to complete this objective.
