UPDATE: We have now included an interactive map within this guide to assist you in discovering all the memories related to Impa and the Geoglyphs quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Discovering Dragon Tear Geoglyphs in Hyrule
Scattered throughout Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Dragon Tear Geoglyphs conceal crucial fragments of the narrative, manifesting as Memories. Even though Link awakens in a different time frame, he is tasked with piecing together critical backstories. The game’s plot richly unfolds, presenting Tears of the Dragon—a unique kind of memory intended for discovery.
Unlike the previous installation, Breath of the Wild, finding these memories might actually prove simpler. They are distinguished by gigantic Geoglyphs—massive artworks etched onto the land and mountains of Hyrule, which are visible from the skies. Players can enjoy a skydiving experience to spot these geoglyphs, but knowing their exact locations along with the positions of the associated Dragon Tears can streamline the adventure.
Impa and the Geoglyphs Memories Quest
At the outset of your journey in Tears of the Kingdom, players can embark on several quests shortly after arriving at Lookout Landing—the first town encountered after the Great Sky Island tutorial phase. One key quest, initiated by Cado, stands out as a main narrative quest: Impa and the Geoglyphs.
This essential quest is centered around the New Serenne Stable, positioned slightly northwest of Lookout Landing across Carok Bridge, with Sinakawak Shrine being the nearest fast travel point. By following Impa’s guidance, you’ll gain insights into the Geoglyphs and the mysteries they hold, leading you to your first Dragon’s Tear Memory. Completing this quest unlocks another main mission, The Dragon’s Tears.
From this point onward, players have the freedom to uncover all 11 memories, which are integral to revealing major story arcs within Tears of the Kingdom. This guide will streamline your quest to locate each memory in a user-friendly format.
Tears of the Kingdom Memory Locations
In total, players can discover 12 memories throughout Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The first memory is incorporated into your introduction with Impa, after which you can pursue the remaining 10 in any order. A 12th memory becomes accessible only upon acquiring the previous ones, marked as ‘FIN’ on the map.
It’s essential to note that despite listing 12 memories, the game technically includes 18. The additional five memories are revealed through other pivotal story moments, including events surrounding the Master Sword. Players can opt for a disjointed narrative experience or follow a chronological order as laid out on the accompanying map.
If you prefer to uncover each Geoglyph in a leisurely manner rather than sequentially, the interactive map provided below includes all memory locations, as well as those linked to specific quests and story developments:
