Hot-Air Balloon
Hot-Air Balloons are recurring Objects in The Legend of Zelda series.(TotKTears of the Kingdom)[1] Hot-Air Balloons go unnamed in Echoes of Wisdom.
Location and Uses
Tears of the Kingdom
Hot-Air Balloons are made by attaching a Balloon to the top of a Basket. Alternatively, they can also be made by connecting a Balloon and a piece of Wood to a platform, such as a Stone Slab or a Lattice.[2] When burning Wood or an active Flame Emitter is placed under the Balloon, the Basket will be lifted upward. The Schema Stone for the Hot-Air Balloon Schematic is given to Link by Josha as a reward for completing the Side Adventure "A Mystery in the Depths".[3] It costs six Zonaite to create a Hot-Air Balloon with Autobuild when neither of the building supplies are present.
Impa owns a Hot-Air Balloon given to her by Purah, which she uses to travel Hyrule. However, it was broken when she attempted to investigate the Geoglyph on the North Hyrule Plain.[4] During the Main Quest "Impa and the Geoglyphs", Link is able to repair the Hot-Air Balloon by using Ultrahand, and Impa invites him to view the Geoglyph from the Sky with her.[5]
Robbie is also in possession of a Hot-Air Balloon, though it will initially be broken.[6] During "A Mystery in the Depths", Josha asks Link to repair it to demonstrate his new Autobuild ability.[7] Once his Hot-Air Balloon is restored, Robbie is able to depart Lookout Landing for the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.[8]
During the Side Adventure "Mattison's Independence", Hudson decides to make a unique Hot-Air Balloon for his daughter Mattison, known as the Sun Balloon.[9]

This is a schema stone for a balloon, right? So if you use this with Autobuild, you could replicate a balloon. Right?

I noticed this geoglyph from a distance while I was standing on high ground. Examining it up close, I could not make out what it depicted. I thought I might have a better view from up in the sky. I took to the air in the balloon Purah gave me, but then, alas... The wind struck and completely sheared the balloon off the base.
— Impa (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Oh! You fixed my balloon? Thank you, Link! Will you come with me to look at the geoglyph, then?
— Impa (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
That balloon over there belongs to Goggles, but it's broken right now. Do you think you might be able to fix it with Autobuild?
— Josha (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
Swordsman! Everything's ready! Please demonstrate how Autobuild replicates things!
— Josha (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
I really appreciate you fixing up my balloon. Ultra thanks! That "Autobuild" thing is pretty darn amazing. Hmm, I should have a good think about all the practical uses of that someday. Oh! That reminds me... Hey, you! Listen up! Now that Josha has solved the mystery of that slate... I can return to the Purah Pad Laboratory in Hateno Village!

Oh, it's you. So, you know, I've been doing a lot of thinking... Trying to figure out what I could possibly do for Mattison. And, well, what I came up with is this. Gerudo Town is pretty far from here, and there are plenty of monsters along the way. So, I thought I'd make Mattison her own special air balloon! But...I want to make it really special. Something just for her. I'm just...not sure how to do that.

Your big brother?
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom)He's a great explorer! His adventures take him all over the place...in a hot-air balloon! Big Brother said his next great destination was Holy Mount Lanayru! He said he was going to launch a flight from the top of Hebra Mountain to get there.
