In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll find numerous activities to keep you busy. They don’t all contribute directly to your main quest, but many of them grant access to helpful resources to aid you in your quest. Here is our guide explaining how to find and clear Courage Island in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Tears of the Kingdom – how to find and clear Courage Island
The Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower is located west of Hyrule Castle, along the north side of Hyrule Ridge. When you launch from it, you have access to a number of intriguing destinations. One of them is Courage Island.
To reach Courage Island, launch from the Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower and paraglide southwest. Basically, you can just turn left from the height of your launch to spot the sky island. It looks like a series of broken stone donuts in a column.

Glide to the island and land near its highest platform. Walk directly ahead to the pedestal and activate it, which reveals a green ring at the end of a platform. Hop through the green ring and start diving toward the stone rings below you. More green rings will appear, slightly left or right or ahead of you. Make sure to pass through each of them on the way down, and finally land in the pond at the bottom.
If you didn’t miss any rings, you’ll cause Taunhiy Shrine to appear. Now you can use it to fast travel to the island in the future. Courage Island has some nice resources, including three Fairies that appear around the edges of the water and a Device Dispenser. When you are done exploring those attractions, talk to the Construct.

Accept the Construct’s offer to start the dive ceremony. After paying one Zonai Charge, you will appear back near the top of the island, ahead of where you last jumped. Your goal is to reach the pool at the base of Courage Island within 35 seconds.
Once you jump, you’ll start falling without your paraglider open. That’s how you want to travel most of the way. In fact, you should also spend most of the time between the green rings in a dive. Just don’t descend so quickly that you miss one. If you reach the bottom of Courage Island within the allotted time, you receive the Glide Shirt as a prize (if you want more of the set, check out our guide on how to get the Glide Tights at Bravery Island).
If you didn’t manage to reach the bottom in time, or if you missed a ring, you’ll have to pay another Zonai Charge when you’re ready to try again.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available for Nintendo Switch.
