Within each of the 12 geoglyphs is a dragon tear that unlocks a memory in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Among the many changes to the surface of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are mysterious, glowing geoglyphs that have appeared on large swaths of the landscape. Hidden somewhere within each of these designs is a small puddle of light containing a Tear of the Dragon.
Each Tear contains a Memory from Hyrule’s distant past that fleshes out the stories of Zelda, Rauru, Sonia, and Ganondorf once you find and interact with the Tear. Finding every Tear will also reveal the location of The Master Sword (possibly well before the main story will, depending on the order in which you tackle things) and give some insight into the Blood Moon.
Finding all 12 Tears is part of “The Dragon’s Tears’” main quest. But in order to unlock this quest, you’ll first have to find Impa and complete the “Impa and the Geoglyphs” quest. We’ll walk you through where to find each geoglyph, the Dragon Tear locations, and how to start “The Dragon’s Tears’” quest.Every Dragon Tear geoglyph and Memory location
There are 11 geoglyphs around Hyrule’s Surface and 12 Tears of the Dragon Memories to find — the 12th Dragon Tear is not associated with a geoglyph and only shows up when you’ve found the other 11. The geoglyphs depict various figures, items, and places from Hyrule’s history, which are related to the Memory each glyph unlocks.Tear of the Dragon #1
