Rising Island Chain is a location in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom

The Rising Island Chain is a series of islands located in the Hebra Mountains Sky above the Hebra Mountains. During the Tulin of Rito Village quest, Link and Tulin need to scale the islands to reach the source of the blizzard. To begin the area, Link needs to be wearing at least one Cold Resistance clothing article. By the end of the area it is cold enough that two articles are required to prevent taking damage.

The islands are broken and fragmented, coming in all shapes and sizes. The distance between them varies, with one island being directly next to another and others being across gaps that are impossible to travel. For the latter, Link must work with Tulin and his Power of Wind ability to traverse them. A few areas can be crossed with the help of the ships floating nearby, which Link can jump on to get some needed height.

At the far northwest end of the island chain, a Flux Construct I can be found, known as the Guardian of the Rising Island Chain. The construct has a treasure chest attached to it, which contains an Old Map.

At the top of the area is the Stormwind Ark, surrounded by many ships circling the storm. Link needs to jump from ship to ship, climbing the area until he reaches the top of the storm, from which he can paraglide into the eye of the storm.

Mayaumekis Shrine

When first arriving at the Rising Island Chain, the Mayaumekis Shrine can be found shortly ahead, serving as a good warp point to the start of the region. The shrine, titled Downward Force, requires Link to jump on top of ships, launching himself up into the air. This prepares Link for the similar mechanism that he'll need to do as he climbs higher up the Rising Island Chain.

Kahatanaum Shrine

Main article: Kahatanaum Shrine

The Kahatanaum Shrine can be found at a much higher elevation of the Rising Island Chain. As soon as Link and Tulin reach the area that requires a second level of Cold Resistance, the shrine is right down the path. The shrine itself is one of Rauru's Blessings and doesn't contain any challenges. It has a single chest that has a Large Zonai Charge. The shrine acts as a good warp point before progressing further up the Riding Island Chain.

Treasure Chests

Arrows x5 - Just northeast of the Mayaumekis Shrine, there is a large circle of ice. Jump on it several times to break it to find the chest underneath.
Portable Pot x3 - On a platform well to the northwest of Mayaumekis Shrine, where a Soldier Construct II can be found. There are some icicles next to a tall pillar just to the east.
Soldier II Spear - Found behind some icicles near the northwest end of the Rising Island Chain. The floating platform is distinctive by a big block of ice that covers part of it. It is found just southeast and slightly up from where Link fights the Flux Construct I. Depending on World Level, this item can scale up to a Soldier IV Spear.
Arrow x10 - At the far northwest end of the Island Chain. Just beyond where the Flux Construct I is located, there is a circle of ice that can be broken, with a ship that Link can use to launch himself up. From there he can glide north to where there are some icicles. The chest can be found behind the icicles.
Large Zonai Charge - On the platform that with a bunch of Soldier Constructs and Time Bombs there are some boulders in the ground that can be broken. Break them to find the chest down below.
Time Bomb x5 - Found on a floating island at the north end of the island chain at one of the higher elevations, just east of Kahatanaum Shrine.
Portable Pot - As Link is making his way up to the Stormwind Ark, there is a square island, at a very high elevation, directly south of the ark. Link can glide over to the chest.
Flame Emitter - As Link is making his way up to the Stormwind Ark, there is a square island, at a very high elevation, directly northeast of the ark. Link can glide over to the chest.

Korok Seeds

Well northwest of the Mayaumekis Shrine, there is a floating island a little down below that has a stump on it. Step on it and a yellow circle appears back to the southeast, closer to the Mayaumekis Shrine. Use Tulin's Power of Wind to reach the circle faster and get the Korok Seed.
Southeast of the Kahatanaum Shrine, above the archway there is a small rock. Link can reach this by jumping on top of the large boat to launch himself up. Lift the rock to get the Korok Seed.
