Fancy a treasure hunt? Then you’re in luck. Plenty of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom old maps are littered throughout the Sky Islands floating above Hyrule. Each one resides in a chest – sometimes obtained after defeating a Flux Construct – and has the location of some hidden treasure in the depths below Hyrule. So, we’ve got a guide to finding these old maps – or if you’d rather skip the guff and get the coordinates straight off, we’ve got that too.

How do I find Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s old maps?

You can find Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom old maps on Sky Islands floating above Hyrule. They can be a reward for solving a puzzle, beating an enemy, or just being an inquisitive soul and checking every nook and cranny.

Most of the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sky islands that house these maps are one of three types – an island with a construction puzzle full of Zonai devices for you to construct, an island only reachable with that vehicle often has an old map on it, and or a circular island with a boss on it who drops the old map. It’s not uncommon for these types of islands to appear close together and have more than one old map on them.
