Secret of the Ring Ruins

Secret of the Ring Ruins is a Main Quest found in Tears of the Kingdom

Overview

The quest branches off of the Find the Fifth Sage quest, requiring completion through the story up to said point including all four dungeons.

In Kakariko Village, Paya, who is shown as the new chief, is investigating the Ring Ruins floating above the village. Along side the chief, is the Zonai Survey Team's leader, Tauro, who is contemplating how to get inside the ring to find a stone tablet. Link finds his way in, and with a picture of the tablet goes back to the ground and shows it to the team. After deciphering the tablet's writing, they are lead to the Dracozu Lake in the Faron region.

A mural on a wall inside one of the ruins near the lake's head reveals information regarding a outfit, and putting a Zonai Charge on a shrine as a sort of tradition. Link picks up the clothing pieces along the winding river, and upon arrival at the ruins at the dragon river's tail, he places the Zonai Charge on the shrine, and the ruins begin to react, with eyes of various dragon statues beginning to glow green with thunder rods raising from the statues. Lightning strikes them, and it clears up the heavy storm above the region, which was once obscuring a series of sky islands in the shape of a dragon.

When Link makes his way up to the islands, which still has a stormy weather, he must go from island to island using Ascend, defeating numerous enemies along the way including a Flux Construct III. At the end of the path, he finds a Shrine of Light, as well as a Zonai Construct's head, as he hears a voice of a woman calling out to him referring to him as the "Chosen protector of Zelda" and fires a green beam of light towards the ground for Link to follow, ending the quest to pick up with the Find the Fifth Sage quest.
