"A spirit has taken the form of this giant dragon inhabiting the upper reaches of the skies. It is named for its shining golden mane and gleaming scales. It looks divine as it soars through the sky, giving off a soft glow, and its presence is comforting somehow."
The Light Dragon is one of the four dragons found in Tears of the Kingdom .
Tears of the Kingdom
The Light Dragon first appears near the start of Tears of the Kingdom when Link is on the Great Sky Island. It can be seen flying to the north, and flies past the Temple of Time. The Light Dragon can be seen throughout the game, flying a normal pattern around the perimeter of Hyrule. The Light Dragon helps to break the cloud barrier, allowing Link to travel to Hyrule.
Later on, during the Recovering the Hero's Sword Main Quest, Link needs to find the Master Sword. The Great Deku Tree will inform Link that the Master Sword still exists and he can sense its presence. It is, however, moving for an unknown reason.
Link can find the Sword impaled into the head of the Light Dragon. He will need to pull the Master Sword out of the Dragon, but this requires two full circles of Stamina in order to complete, akin to an additional five Stamina Vessels. Temporary stamina will not count for this.
If successful, Link will see a vision of Princess Zelda telling him that the Master Sword is the only way to defeat Ganondorf, and that she has infused her power inside it to help in that endeavor. She hoped that the sword would reach him in the future. After the vision, the Light Dragon will drop Link at the Temple of Time with the Sword.
After Ganondorf's Gerudo form has been defeated, he will consume his Secret Stone and transform into the Demon Dragon. The Light Dragon will come to aid Link, allowing him to fly on its head and be used as a jumping off point for Link to attack the Demon Dragon's weak points. Once Ganondorf has finally been destroyed, Rauru and Sonia will appear. They use their remaining power to return the Light Dragon to normal, which is Princess Zelda.
When Zelda had initially travelled back in time, she had put forward the events to aid Link in the future. This included consuming her own Secret Stone to become the Light Dragon, and provided a source of power for the Master Sword to return to normal over eons until the present day.
