The Zonaite Armor is one of the most useful
sets in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. With all pieces equipped, Energy Cell or Battery
duration is doubled, allowing you to power Zonai Devices for twice as long. Getting the complete Zonaite Armor Set will
require going to three locations high up in the sky, and solving a puzzle at each, all
of which will be covered in this guide. As usual, useful time stamps can be found
in the video description. The Boots are the easiest to reach, so that’s
where we’ll go first. They are located in the Sky Mines, floating
high over the Rist Peninsula. To get there, we will start by using the Ulri
Mountain Skyview Tower. If it’s your first time at this tower, you’ll
need to shoot down the nearby Aerocuda and bring the Terminal back to the tower. Once in the air, fly east towards the sky
island with the roaming Flux Construct. You should see a partially built Zonai Machine
on the square part of the island, and we can use this to reach our destination. There are a total of 6 batteries in this area,
and we will distribute them as evenly as we can across the four corners of the flying
machine. Afterwards, we will take control and fly northeast
towards the Sky Mines. Even if you only have the single starter battery
in your energy cell, it should still last long enough to get you close enough to the
sky islands that you can glide the rest of the way over. Once there, we will activate the Shrine and
interact with the Zonai Gate to activate the launchers. To start, reposition the first launcher so
that it is aiming towards the third island up, then launch up to it. Here, we will need to aim the launcher so
that it will throw one of the large stone cubes into the floating orb. This may take a few tries, but fortunately
there are plenty of Cubes lying around. You may want to save before moving on to the
next step, as if it is done incorrectly, reverting to the last save will be the quickest way
to try again. All that said, we will now use the launcher
to get ourselves into the floating orb, and you’ll want to wait until this next explanation
before moving the cube. This orb is tricky. Once the cube is put on the pressure plate,
the opening of the orb will quickly lower beyond the halfway point and trap us inside,
then start spinning horizontally, never coming back above the halfway point. Because of that, we want to be in the orb
opening when the pressure plate is activated. To do this, use ultrahand to grab the cube
and hold it over the pressure plate for a few seconds. Then, move it back towards the opening of
the orb. Drop it, and climb back up to the Orb’s
opening. Finally, while standing in the opening, use
Recall to send the Cube back through time. Once it is hovering over the pressure plate,
cancel the recall, allowing the cube to fall onto the pressure plate. Try not to lose your footing as the orb’s
opening lowers, and leap back through it once it’s on the bottom side. All that’s left is to open the chest to
get the Zonaite Shin Guards. The second piece we will go for is the chest
armor, which is hidden within Zonaite Forge Island. You will need to bring along a few Zonai Fans
or any other devices that will help you gain altitude and move horizontally through the
sky. And if you haven’t gotten any Stamina Vessel
upgrades, you will need a stamina replenishing consumable or two. To reach Zonaite Forge Island, we will start
by using the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower, in southeast Hyrule. To access this tower for the first time, you’ll
need to burn away the surrounding thorns. Once in the air, glide further east towards
the scattered islands. We will be commandeering one of these floating
platforms for our own use. Our first goal is to get vertical, and you
can do this with fans, hot air balloons, or whatever else works for you. We will eventually need to move northwest
towards the enormous floating tower, but height is the bigger priority. You want to be around an altitude of 1700
or higher when you near the island, as the floating platform will disappear, leaving
you to glide the rest of the way over. After landing, move counterclockwise around
the island to reach the Zonai Gate, and interact with it to activate the forge. Next, use the fan currents to ascend to the
Forge’s apex. Once there, dive through the center towards
the Forge’s interior, avoiding the laser grid as you go. You can activate the nearby Shrine, but to
get the armor we will need to climb up the pillar behind it, into a small nook. Finally, use Ascend to enter a secret compartment,
where the Zonaite Waistguard is waiting. The final piece of the set is located way
up high on Lightcast Island. It is most easily reached from Rospro Pass
Skyview Tower, but that isn’t the same as being easy to reach. You will want to bring along a few fans or
rockets, and if you don’t have at least two full batteries in your energy cell, bring
along a few regular Zonai Charges or a single Large Zonai Charge. In addition, this whole area is cold, so bring
some cold-resistant armor, spicy consumables, or fuse a ruby to a shield and equip it to
provide some warmth. Burn or bypass the thorns near Rospro Pass
Skyview Tower, then use it to launch into the sky. From there, head northwest and land on one
of the floating platforms. If you haven’t done the main quest at Rito
Village, there will be an active snowstorm reducing visibility. Once you’ve gotten to a floating platform,
outfit it with some fans or hot air balloons and start rising into the sky. We will need to rise a far distance on this
one, and it may take some time if you have a low battery capacity, but taking breaks
to recharge is fine. You’ll need to reach an altitude of around
1400 or higher, then reorient your fans and/or rockets to move south towards the North Tabantha
Sky Archipelago. Once again, the floating platform will disappear
as we near our target, and if you don’t have stamina upgrades you’ll need to glide
efficiently to reach the center island. Once there, save the game in case things go
sideways, then gather up the surrounding fans, rockets, and Zonai wing to construct a flying
machine. If you have the two other pieces of Zonaite
Armor, now would be a good time to equip it. Place the beefed up wing on the launch rails
and take flight, standing near the rear to give as much lift as possible. Even with the two pieces of Zonaite Armor
equipped, you will need around two full batteries of capacity in your Energy Cell. If you don’t, you will need to use some
Zonai Charges or one Large Zonai Charge to keep the Fans powered long enough to reach
the Low Gravity zone of the Tabantha Sky Archipelago. After making it to the low gravity zone, jump
and glide towards the nearest sky island. Once there, first save the game, then fuse
the two Springs that are provided, and use them to launch yourself further up. You should see a floating platform towards
the southwest. Glide over to it and dispatch the construct,
taking care to avoid hitting the rockets. Fuse the first rocket to the center of the
platform, facing straight up, and move the second rocket out of harm’s way. Then, hit only the first rocket for a vertical
boost. Next, take the second rocket and angle it
at 45 degrees. Fuse it to the center of the platform so that
it is facing the large island towards the northeast and activate it to get within jumping
distance of our target. Finally at Lightcast Island, it’s a good
idea to save before starting the final puzzle. To begin, interact with the Zonai Gate to
lower the water in the pond. Follow the beam of light down into the island,
and use a bomb or blunt weapon to clear away the rubble. The entire goal of this puzzle is to direct
the beam of light through the dark cave with the provided Zonai Mirrors. That being said, you can make the task a lot
easier by lighting up the cave with Brightbloom seeds. I also realized after already doing the puzzle
that it would probably have been easier to line up the mirrors with ultrahand than the
way I did it. In the final chamber, you’ll need to defeat
a Soldier Construct, then take its Mirror Shield. Use the shield to direct the beam of light
into the gold hexagon sensor. After a few seconds of contact, the sensor
will turn green, and the room's walls will open up. Just above the sensor is a chest on a platform. Climb up to it to claim the Zonaite Helm. As mentioned before, each piece of the Zonaite
Set increases the duration of your Energy Cell, with the full set doubling it. In addition, upgrading all pieces to level
2 at a Great Fairy will provide the set bonus, which nearly doubles Energy Cell recharge
speed. The only upgrade material that was difficult
to find, at least for me, was the Captain Construct I Horns, which you’ll need 15
of in total. I’ve only found the Captain Construct I’s
to spawn consistently at 3 different locations, and they are all Shrines. The first Shrine is southeast of Tarrey Town
and I will not make a fool of myself trying to pronounce it. The second Shrine is on Bravery Island, in
northern Hyrule. And the third shrine is on the West Hebra
Sky Archipelago, in northwest Hyrule. After completing these Shrines for the first
time, you can return about every 7 days of in-game time to get horns from the Captain
I Constructs. If you manage to gather enough Zonaite and
Construct horns to upgrade the Zonaite armor set all the way to max level, it will give
you a total defense of 84 If you want to see more great guides you can
