List of Sky Islands

Tri Force Heroes



Sky Islands appear in the Floating Garden, Deception Castle, Dragon Citadel, and the Sky Temple Stages.

Tears of the Kingdom

Sky Islands appear throughout the Sky in Tears of the Kingdom. Zonai-style architecture can be found atop them, and they are covered with unique yellow-leafed Trees. The bottoms of these Sky Islands typically taper down to thin points supported by cores of ribbed stone. The earth surrounding some of these cores has eroded, leaving them exposed. Additionally, terrain and portions of structures from Sky Islands appear to have fallen to the ground below them as Fallen Debris and Fallen Ruins. Ruins Rubble will occasionally drop from Sky Islands, which Link is able to Recall to travel upwards into the Sky.
