Link's travels then take him to [[Kakariko Village]], where a thorough survey of floating [[Ring Ruins]] that had descended around the village was underway but forestalled, due to the preconception that Zelda had ordered the floating ruins off limits. When they learn that the "Zelda" that gave the order was a puppet of Ganondorf, [[Paya]], the new village chief, and [[Tauro]], the head of the Zonai research team, re-open access to the ruins and further surveying. Link enters the inside of the floating ruins and fetches a photograph of a stone slab engraved in Zonai script, and Tauro is able to decipher references to the [[Demon King Ganondorf|Demon King]], Zelda, the sage [[Mineru]], and a mention of a southeast location that fellow research team member [[Calip]] takes to refer to the [[Zonai Ruins]] in the jungles of [[Faron]]. Paya also recognizes the phrase "dragon land", further confirming Calip's catch; dragon-themed architecture is unique to the location of the Zonai Ruins. Tauro, Calip and Link make haste towards the ruins, setting up a small camp in the [[Popla Foothills]]. | Link's travels then take him to [[Kakariko Village]], where a thorough survey of floating [[Ring Ruins]] that had descended around the village was underway but forestalled, due to the preconception that Zelda had ordered the floating ruins off limits.

At [[Dracozu Lake]], close to the [[Spring of Courage]], Tauro finds doorways that have opened in tall, dragon-resembling pillars with metal horns at the top, containing both a riddle and a set of chests only Link is able to open. These chests contain a set of ritual dress modelled after the eternal dragon [[Farosh]] -- the [[Charged Set]]. Link follows the riddle to an altar at the "tail" of the serpent-shaped [[Dracozu River]], where he dons the Charged set and places an offering of a [[Zonai Charge]]. At that moment, the four tall pillars activate, and lightning strikes all four at once, absorbing the energy of a constant lightning storm that had previously consumed the [[Thunderhead Isles]] floating in the sky above the jungle. On [[Dragonhead Island]], the largest of these isles, Link encounters an ancient Zonai artifact that resembles a headpiece. It speaks to him, drawing him on a path that leads him to [[ | At [[Dracozu Lake]], close to the [[Spring of Courage]], Tauro finds doorways that have opened in tall, dragon-resembling pillars with metal horns at the top, containing both a riddle and a set of chests only Link is able to open.

It speaks to him, drawing him on a path that leads him to [[Tobio’s Hollow]], where the headpiece activates an elevator that takes Link down into [[the Depths]] to a long abandoned [[Construct Factory]]. | ||
The headpiece, now attached to a zonai vessel resembling a torso, is revealed to be the actual head of a Construct that the voice tasks Link with the remaining assembly of in order for the Construct to properly house the voice's still lingering spirit. Link journeys to four depots around the factory to procure and assemble the Construct body's arms and legs, and the fully reassembled Construct comes alive. Link navigates the Construct across the Depths to the [[Spirit Temple (Tears of the Kingdom)|Spirit Temple]] to retrieve the voice's secret stone, but not before having their way blocked by a [[Seized Construct]], an earlier prototype build of the current Construct body that became possessed by Ganondorf's power. After defeating it, the voice's spirit finally emerges from Link's [[Purah Pad]] and seals itself within her secret stone, affixing it to the Construct and finally allowing it to introduce herself to Link as Mineru, the ancient [[Sage]] of Spirit and one of the Zonai. She details how she and Zelda withdrew after Rauru imprisoned Ganon and made the final plan to prepare for Link's future battle with Ganondorf, with Zelda undergoing draconification to live long enough to repair the [[Master Sword]], and Mineru, nearing death, to preserve her spirit in the Purah Pad with the original plan of re-awakening to Link once he acquires it. If Link does not already have the Master Sword, she will urge Link to pursue it before facing Ganondorf. She makes the [[Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit]], and has her avatar tied to a ring on Link's right middle finger, accompanying Link permanently. This allows the [[Hylian]] [[Champion]] to call upon Mineru's Power of Spirit anytime. | The headpiece, now attached to a zonai vessel resembling a torso, is revealed to be the actual head of a Construct that the voice tasks Link with the remaining assembly of in order for the Construct to properly house the voice's still lingering spirit.
