Where To Find Every Old Map In Tears Of The Kingdom

In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there are lots of unique armor sets and weapons to collect and enjoy! Thankfully, you’re not totally on your own; the game has a built-in method of nudging you in the right direction. Old Maps are found on Hyrule’s sky islands and point to a chest in the Depths where something special can be found.

There are a total of 31 Old Maps to find throughout Hyrule, some in trickier places than others! This guide provides you with all the details, including their coordinates, images of them on the map, and tips about how to reach the trickiest ones. By the end, you’ll be the most fashionable legendary swordsman in the kingdom!

Central Hyrule Sky Old Maps’ Locations

North Hyrule Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

To get here, you’ll need to launch yourself from the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower! Glide south and look out for the Flux Construct below. You don’t need to fight it; just look for the smaller, attached island north of the Flux Construct. There are Zonai Rockets and hovering platforms that you can use there to boost yourself higher and then glide further south to the location of this Old Map.

Central Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

There’s one, lone island between the Central Hyrule Sky and the Lanayru Sky where you can find an Old Map. Thankfully, it’s relatively low to the ground. You can launch yourself from the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower and glide to it. Or, if you’ve already reached the Josiu Shrine south of the Old Map, you can glide from there, too. Either way, we recommend having at least two rings of Stamina.

South Hyrule Sky Archipelago Luminous Old Map Location

This Old Map is surrounded by luminous stones on a very high sky island. Your goal is to get to the island with the Flux Construct beneath the Old Map. To do that, launch yourself from either the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower or the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower.

Attached to the large circle where the Flux Construct is, to the southwest, there’s a connected sky island. There, you can find hovering platforms and Balloons to use. Whenever you’re ready, send yourself soaring with a few balloons on a hovering platform and you’ll quickly be able to jump off and glide to the chest. There are a couple batteries around the area, too; we recommend attaching those to the platform. With two batteries, attached, we used almost four full energy cells to get up there.

Be sure to unlock the Jinodok Shrine as a fast travel point; it makes the rest of this area much easier!

South Hyrule Sky Archipelago Twisted-Up Old Map Location

This Old Map chest is hanging off of a moving platform, wrapped in a vine. To get up to the place, you can either launch yourself from the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower or the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. It’s quicker from the one in the Hyrule Field, but you can just barely make it if you have the Avatar of Tulin. The Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower is a more sure thing, since you can land on platforms between the Skyrview Tower and your destination.

When you reach your destination, look for a replica of the moving platform. You can use Ultrahand on it to turn it. Just keep turning it forwards (slowly, or it can get confused) to wrap the vine around the platform until you can reach the chest. Cut the vines around the chest and pop it open to reveal the Old Map!

South Hyrule Sky Archipelago Flux Construct Old Map Location

This Old Map is in a chest attached to a Flux Construct; you’ll need to defeat it in order to get it! To get to the Flux Construct, you can launch from the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower or the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. As mentioned previously, you need the Avatar of Tulin to be able to reach this area from the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower.

South Hyrule Sky Archipelago Hanging Old Map Location

This Old Map can be found in a chest hanging precariously between two islands. From the western part of the South Hyrule Sky Archipelago, with the Jinodok Shrine, glide east to these two sky islands. When you’re on the lower of the two islands, you can just shoot the vine holding the chest. Open it to get the Old Map!

Hebra Sky Old Maps’ Locations

Rising Island Chain Old Map Location

Before you go looking for this Old Map, complete the Tulin of Rito Village and Wind Temple main quests. You may find this Old Map naturally that way. However, if you don’t, start by teleporting to the Kahatanaum Shrine. From there, glide down to the large square platform to the north-west. You’ll find a Flux Construct you need to beat; the Old Map is in a chest stuck to it!

(Northern) West Hebra Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

This Old Map’s chest is relatively easy to reach; you can get to the West Hebra Sky Archipelago by launching yourself from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower. Then, next to the Ijo-o Shrine, there’s a spinning device that can launch you high into the air. Point it at the appropriate sky island with the chest, launch yourself, and glide easily over to it.

West Hebra Sky Archipelago Flux Construct Old Map Location

This one is also in the West Hebra Sky Archipelago. If you haven’t been there before, launch yourself at the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower. Below the platform with the Ijo-o Shrine, you’ll find a Flux Construct! The Old Map is in a chest on its body. Defeat it and claim your prize!

East Hebra Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

This is another Old Map hidden in a hanging chest. To get to it, launch yourself from the Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower and glide to the East Hebra Sky Archipelago (you’ll need at least one and a half rings of Stamina). Be sure to unlock the Taninoud Shrine; you can see the chest hanging on the other sky island from the northernmost edge of that island. Shoot the vine it’s hanging from and then jump down to the lower island to collect your Old Map.

On occasion, a freak coincidence causes the chest to miss the island below where it’s supposed to land. Just leave and come back later; it will respawn. If you can still see it, you can also Rewind it!

Eldin Sky Old Maps’ Locations

South Eldin Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

You can get this Old Map by launching yourself from the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower and gliding to the right island. If you’ve already unlocked the nearby Kadaunar Shrine, though, it’s easier to glide down from there. Either way, look out for a chest hanging from a vine. Shoot the vine and open the chest to get your Old Map!

Akkala Sky Old Maps’ Locations

North Akkala Sky Archipelago Pond Old Map Location

The easiest way to get this map is to start from the Lomei Sky Labyrinth. Once up there using Zonai devices or other clever means, glide south-west to this small island pond. You’ll find lots of Wings, Fans, and a pre-built hover device, plus the chest with the Old Map.

North Akkala Sky Archipelago Flux Construct Old Map Location

From the pond where you found the previous Old Map, use the pre-built hover device to head towards the circular Sky Island above the right eye of Skull Lake. There, you’ll need to fight a Flux Construct which has a chest with the Old Map on its back.

Sokkala Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

It’s yet another Old Map that must be ripped from a Flux Construct! This time, to reach it, launch yourself in the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower. You’ll be able to glide to the platform with the Flux Construct quite easily. Pull the chest off the Construct with Ultrahand or defeat it; either way, you have your Map.

Lanayru Sky Old Maps’ Locations

Wellspring Island Hidden Old Map Location

Before hunting for this Old Map, complete Sidon of the Zora and the Water Temple. You may find it during those quests. If you don’t, return to the Igoshon Shrine. Glide towards the south-east to the location marked on the map; the chest is hidden down a set of small stairs and past some rubble.

Wellspring Island Open Old Map Location

For this one, again, don’t do it until you’ve already finished the Water Temple. When you return for it, start from the entrance to the Water Temple, not the Igoshon Shrine. Head west and glide off the temple towards the sport marked on the map above and you’ll locate it easily; the chest with the Old Map is just standing on a hovering island.

Lanayru Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

This Old Map chest is just on an island between the Water Temple and the Jirutagumac Shrine. You can get there in two ways. If you’ve completed the Water Temple, glide from there to the south-west. If you haven’t, launch yourself from the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower and glide south-east. Either way, you’ll get the prize.

South Lanayru Sky Archipelago Hanging Old Map Location

To reach this Old Map chest, start by launching yourself from the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower. Hop from sky island to sky island going east until you reach Mayanas Shrine (there are Zonai devices you’ll be able to use for support). From the Shrine, you can see a chest dangling off the island on a vine. Shoot the vine so the chest lands on the mini island below and open it to get your Old Map!

South Lanayru Sky Archipelago Precarious Old Map Location

The second chest with an Old Map in it in this Archipelago is dangling on the far end of the easternmost sky island. From Mayanas Shrine, which you reached for the last Old Map, head to the pond to the north-east. You’ll notice there are hovering platforms you can Ascend through which will take you up to the next sky island (a few of the platforms have rockets for extra help). Keep creatively using Ascend to get up and over to where the chest is dangling. You’ll need to peak over the edge to see it. Shoot the vine, and it’ll fall to the hovering platform below.

If it falls off the hovering platform, use Rewind on it! There’s not a distance restriction, really, not like there is for Ultrahand. If you can see it, you can usually Rewind it.

Necluda Sky Old Maps’ Locations

North Necluda Sky Archipelago Hanging Old Map Location

You can launch from the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower and land directly on the island where the chest with the Old Map is. If you don’t have quite enough Stamina, though, land on the circular platform next to it where a Zonai Device Dispenser is sitting on an offshoot. There’s a mechanism there that can send you soaring upwards in the right direction when you’re ready.

On this island, you’ll find a lot of Skyshrooms and nuts, and you’ll see the chest hanging from a vine in the circular centre. Drop down; there are a few mini islands with wooden platforms you can use to build with, ensuring your chest won’t fall when you finally shoot the vine.

North Necluda Sky Archipelago Moving Old Map Location

This Old Map chest is on another moving platform. You’ll need to look for the hovering device that controls how the platform moves, then manipulate it with Ultrahand so that the vine the chest is on wraps around the platform for you to reach it. You can get here easily by launching from the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, or the Josiu Shrine if you’ve been to this Archipelago before.

East Necluda Sky Old Map Location

Start from Josiu Shrine in the North Necluda Sky Archipelago (which you can reach after being launched from the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower). Glide off that island east and look for a huge waterfall coming off a sky island and pouring towards the surface; it’s extraordinarily long and hard to miss.

Equip the Zora Armor so that you’ll be able to swim up waterfalls and fly right in! You’ll need around 2 Stamina rings and the Avatar of Tulin. Once you’re launched upwards, you’ll find yourself at a little pond. Activate Ultrahand to find the chest with the Old Map hiding underneath the water.

Necluda Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

Coordinates	2158	-2592	1262
Leads To…	Sea-Breeze Boomerang

To reach this sky island, equip the Zora Armor and launch from the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower. Look for the waterfall to the northwest and glide into it! It’ll carry you up to another pond. The chest isn’t in the water this time, just on the other side of it. Open it to find your Old Map.

West Necluda Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

Coordinates	1651	-2190	0565
Leads To…	Tunic of the Sky

Launch yourself from the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower to reach this Sky Archipelago, then use the catapult to send you soaring up to the correct island (or, alternatively, glide from where you found the previous Old Map). The chest you’re looking for is dangling from a vine off the south-eastern edge of this island; there’s a mini island below to catch it, so just shoot the vine and collect your Old Map.

Gerudo Sky Old Maps’ Locations

North Gerudo Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

Coordinates	-3377	-0021	2284
Leads To…	Majora’s Mask

Start by launching yourself from the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower. From there, glide north. You want to land on any of the mini islands that encircle the enormous sphere in the sky. These islands will have hovering platforms with Rockets, which you can use to launch yourself higher to the next islands. Make your way north until you finally reach the highest island, directly north of the sphere. There’s a chest here with an Old Map in it.

East Gerudo Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

Coordinates	-1955	-1808	1167
Leads To…	Sword of the Hero

Launch yourself from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and aim for the island marked on the map above. You’ll land amongst a lot of golden trees and grass, on the top tier of a three-tiered island. The chest with the Old Map is on the second tier, a little bit hidden. It’s guarded by a Soldier Construct and a Flame Emitter on a Honing device. Once you’ve defeated the Construct, just shoot the Flame Emitter to turn it off. Then, the chest is all yours!

Tabantha Sky Old Maps’ Locations

North Tabantha Sky Archipelago Old Map Location

Coordinates	-3437	1431	1193
Leads To…	Tunic of the Wild

If you’ve maxed out your Stamina Rings, you can reach the marked sky island by launching yourself at the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower and gliding south. Otherwise, you’ll need the help of Zonai devices. When you do eventually arrive at the pond, use Ultrahand to find that there’s a chest sunken at the bottom! Pull it out and open it up to find the Old Map.

Tabantha Sky Archipelago Sitting Old Map Location

Coordinates	-3931	0609	1708
Leads To…	Trousers of the Wild

To get to this Old Map, you’ll need to use the same technique we described for the North Gerudo Sky Archipelago Old Map: launch from the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower and use the mini sky islands, hovering platforms, and Zonai Rockets to keep heading north. Eventually, you’ll get enough height to glide to the appropriate island, where the chest is waiting for you.

Tabantha Sky Archipelago Hanging Old Map Location

Coordinates	-3636	0466	1661
Leads To…	Cap of the Wild

Just as you did for the previous map, you’ll need to use the sky islands around the North Gerudo Sky Archipelago after launching from the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower in order to reach this location. There’s a Shrine here you’ll want to unlock so getting up isn’t so tedious from now on.

The Old Map you’re looking for is hanging on a vine from the northwestern part of the island with a large cross in the centre and a pond on its western side. Shoot it and the chest will fall onto an island below, where you can open it.

Faron Sky Old Maps’ Locations

Thunderhead Isles Electric Old Map

Coordinates	0953	-3112	0756
Leads To…	Trousers of the Sky

The first Old Map in the Thunderhead Isles is in a chest, in a hole, which is activated by a switch. It’s on the western part of these sky islands, marked on the map above, In this area, you can see a man-made shelter of some sort with an electrical switch inside. Use a Shock Fruit or Topaz Wand (or any other electric item) on it to reveal the chest and get your Old Map.

Thunderhead Isles Flux Construct Old Map

Coordinates	1133	-3273	0757
Leads To…	Cap of the Sky

To earn your final Old Map, you’ll need to handle the Flux Construct of Thunderhead Isles. Its perfectly circular boss arena is in a pretty obvious place, so it’s hard to miss, and it’s also indicated on the map above. As with all other Flux Constructs, you can beat it or just use Ultrahand to pull the chest away.
