An Amusing and Effortless Method of Transportation: Discovering Zelda’s TOTK Death Mountain Secret

Death Mountain is a well-known location in the Zelda series, and in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it holds a surprisingly helpful secret at its peak. To take advantage of this exploit, players must deviate from the intended quest sequence, but for those who want to save time and quickly unlock Skyview Towers, it’s worth the detour.

[Warning: The following article contains minor spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.] The map size in Tears of the Kingdom is significantly larger than that of Breath of the Wild. Link can explore the vast, multi-regional land of Hyrule, as well as the Sky Islands floating in the clouds above and the sprawling, pitch-black Depths below (which are the same size as the surface of Hyrule). With his Paraglider and the Ultrahand ability, which allows players to build more advanced vehicles, traveling in TOTK can be a fun experience, but some may prefer efficiency and speed over a leisurely flight through the air.

One of TOTK’s best secrets is the ability to use a Zonai Glider on top of Death Mountain to quickly unlock Skyview Towers around Hyrule. This opportunity arises during the “Yunobo of Goron City” Regional Phenomena quest, where Link faces Moragia, a boss that emerges from the stone of Death Mountain. To defeat Moragia in Tears of the Kingdom, players must fly the Glider while avoiding fireballs and aim a battle-ready Yunobo at the stony dragon. However, players can turn around and fly away from the fight entirely, taking the Glider for themselves.

Thanks to the height of Death Mountain and the seemingly endless battery life of the Zonai Glider, players can use the secret exploit in TOTK to fly around Hyrule and activate Skyview Towers as far as the eye can see. Any player who hasn’t yet fought Moragia can take advantage of the secret, but they should act quickly in case it gets patched out like Tears of the Kingdom’s item duplication glitch.

In the long run, it’s more rewarding to explore Hyrule as intended, finding the Skyview Towers one by one and discovering all the small details in between. However, the amusingly simple Death Mountain Glider exploit in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a tempting way to save time.
