The '''Paraglider''' is an item found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. It is gifted upon [[Link]] from the [[King Rhoam]] after he has completed all four trials in the [[Great Plateau]]. It allows Link to exit the Great Plateau alive, and explore what remains of the [[Hyrule|Kingdom of Hyrule]].

This item functions much like previous 'gliders' in the franchise, such as the [[Deku Leaf]], or [[Ezlo]]'s gliding ability in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. This time, Link can use the Paraglider for longer than ever before, as it only consumes stamina at a slow rate. It can be used to glide over large gaps, or to break falls, much akin to the [[Sailcloth]].

**It doesn't actually have a surface area large enough to support an individual with the mass of Link, or [[King Rhoam]] for that matter. In reality, it should require a considerably larger sail.

==''Age of Calamity''==
The paraglider is used by most of the characters in the game except the [[Rito]]. When the characters are selected for main story quests, the cutscenes show them jumping from the [[Central Tower]] and deploying paragliders while heading towards their destination.
While in battle, the paraglider can be deployed after performing a wall jump, by jumping from a height, or by deploying it on ground wind vents to reach great heights upon prompt. Attacking while paragliding can be done for regular and strong attacks, mostly performing mid-air or ground-pound attacks.
==''Tears of the Kingdom''==

{{quote|This item, given to you by Purah, lets you ride the wind and glide through the sky. Press 'X' in midair to activate it.|In-Game Description}}
The Paraglider is given to [[Link (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Link]] by [[Purah]] in [[Lookout Landing]] after he has spoken to [[Hoz|Captain Hoz]] at the [[First Gatehouse]] in [[Hyrule Castle (Tears of the Kingdom)|Hyrule Castle]]. It allows Link to survive the fall after being shot out of a [[Skyview Tower]].
Technically, the Paraglider is completely optional, and it is possible to beat the game without it, as Link can tank the falls on the way to Ganondorf with fairies or fall-damage cancel by latching onto a wall at the right time. However, this necessitates some creative strategy in order to kill Colgera without using the updrafts, as well as necessitating some very accurate skydiving for the [[Demon Dragon]] (fall damage is disabled in the Demon Dragon fight).
Alternate fabrics can be found or earned in the world, or obtained using an [[amiibo (Rune)|amiibo]]. [[Sayge]] in the [[Kochi Dye Shop]] will rework the paraglider to use one of these alternate fabric for 20 rupees. Changing it at least once is required to begin the [[Photographing a Chuchu]] side quest, although it can be changed back at any time thereafter.
