Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Using the Glide Shirt in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a great way of exploring the skies with less effort and much more efficiency. With the continent of Hyrule torn into pieces due to the powers unleashed with Ganondorf’s awakening beneath the kingdom’s castle, players will see Link take to the air much more frequently than in the previous game. In fact, this is also because he will need to explore some areas called Sky Islands, which are massive portions of land that are now floating above Hyrule.

The hero still has access to his regular Glider, but it is possible to obtain a special item known as the Glide Shirt, which ultimately facilitates a lot of the exploration bits of his adventure in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players cannot simply buy the wingsuit from a vendor and there is a very specific way of unlocking this item that involves demonstrating expertise with the skydiving mechanic, featured heavily in the new Nintendo Switch game.

How To Start The Test Of Courage In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

The first step to obtaining the Glide Shirt in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is unlocking the Test of Courage. Luckily, this can be done early on in the game, as demonstrated by 100% Guides on YouTube. In the wider Central Hyrule area, players will need to go to the Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower and use its shooting mechanism to throw Link high up into the sky. This will put the adventurer at a satisfying height. Once he starts falling, players should open their Gliders and move toward a special island in the sky. Its exact location is -2200, 0946, 1636.

This island is recognizable for being at the top of a spiral-like structure, which is also floating in the sky. When they land, players will then need to interact with the circular structure in the middle of the island, which will see Link’s abilities in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom put into action. This will activate an energy ring at the far end of the island. The next step is jumping through it and carefully falling through all the subsequent energy rings that spawn as Link falls.

How To Get The Glide Shirt In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Having completed their initial dive, players will have to interact with the Steward Construct on the island they landed on, and it will suggest the Test of Courage, which rewards Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Glide Shirt. This trial challenges Link to complete the same diving trajectory within 35 seconds.

The cost to participate is one Zonai Charge. If players do not have one, they should activate the island’s Taunhiy Shrine to be able to teleport back, get the necessary item, and then return to complete the challenge.

Players who complete the Test of Courage in less than 35 seconds will be rewarded with the Glide Shirt. This is a fairly easy challenge to complete, and one that can be done early in the game – and having the Glide Shirt equipped for future challenges may come in handy. In fact, the Steward Construct suggests a second Test of Courage: completing it in under 20 seconds. This can only be done if players equip the Glide Shirt in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
