Impa is first seen near the [[New Serenne Stable]], where she is investigating the [[Geoglyph]]s that have appeared since the [[Upheaval]]. She attempted to see the nearby geoglyph, but her balloon was broken due to high winds, and she is unable to see it from ground level. Solving this dilemma will aid the [[Impa and the Geoglyphs]] Main Quest.
Impa is first seen near the [[New Serenne Stable]], where she is delighted to see Link, but she's worried about where [[Princess Zelda]] is.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|What a surprise it is to ssee you here after all this time, Link.|'''Impa'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I heard you had gone missing. It is certainly a relief to see you back, and in one piece—more or less. And Princess Zelda! Where is she?|'''Impa'''}} Impa mentions that right when Princess Zelda went missing during the [[Upheaval]], [[Geoglyph]]s appeared across the land.
 
===Impa and the Geoglyphs===
{{main|Impa and the Geoglyphs}}
After first speaking with [[Cado]] and beginning the [[Impa and the Geoglyphs]], Cado will point Link in the direction of Impa. She is attempting to see the nearby geoglyph, but needs to do so some from up in the sky.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|That geoglyph... Surely I could see it more clearly from up in the sky.|'''Impa'''}} However, since since her balloon has broken due to high winds, she is unable to see it from ground level. She cannot seem to figure out how to repair her balloon, to reattach it to the base.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|What? She still has yet to return? In that case, we must use all available means to search for her. Link, when Princess Zelda went missing, something else happened all over Hyrule. During the Upheaval, huge pictures appeared out of nowhere, images that sprawled across fields and hills. We are calling them geoglyphs. I understand they have been found in locations across the kingdom. Cado and I are traveling from region to region in hopes of seeing them all. I noticed this geoglyph from a distance wwhile I was standing on high ground. Examining it up close, I could not make out what it depicted. I thought I might have a better view from up in the sky. I took to the air in the balloon Purah gave me, but then, alas... The wind struck and completely sheared the balloon off the base. I have racked my brain for ways to reattach the two parts, to no avail.|'''Impa'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Mm-hmmm. It is so large, I cannot clearly see the design from down here. I would be better able to make it out from a high vantage point. That was why I went up in the balloon Purah gave me.|'''Impa'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|This is one of the giant pictures that have appeared on the surface of Hyrule. I am traveling the land to see them all. Hm. This is frustrating. |'''Impa'''}}
 
Link is able to use [[Ultrahand]] to attach the balloon to the base, repairing Impa's balloon. Link can then speak to her, where she suggests that Link come with him to look at the geoglyph.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Oh! You fixed my balloon? Thank you, Link! Will you come with me to look at the geoglyph, then?|'''Impa'''}} Impa will ask Link to light a fire under the balloon, so that it will start to float.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Time to head out, then. As...I nearly forgot. Would you mind doing one final thing for me?|'''Impa'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Light a fire there and the balloon will start to float. Then we can be on our way.|'''Impa'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Please, try to take the balloon directly above the geoglyph.|'''Impa'''}} Link can do so by using a [[Fire Fruit]], or a flame-based weapon.
 
When Link and Impa rise up to the sky, Impa begins to feel a little light headed, due to the higher elevation.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Too high up... I feel faint...|'''Impa'''}} She mentions that they can now see the geoglyph. She mentions a passage from an old book about [[Dragon's Tears]]. Mentioning that wherever there is a geoglyph, a Dragon's Tear might be nearby, perhaps even within the borders of the geoglyph. Impa encourages Link to use his [[Paraglider]] to glide back down and look for a clue which could possibly discover Princess Zelda's whereabouts.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|But finally we can see it. The geoglyph! Well done, Link. You know, I read something in the village's old literature—a passage about what the ancients called Dragon's Tears. "Where the Tears rest upon the earth, we marked down the images to which they gave birth. I believe this geoglyph is one such "image." But even from this vantage, its meaning is no clearer to me. Nor can I figure out what "Dragon's Tears" might be. But you know...if the literature is correct, one of them should be quite close—near the geoglyph, or even within its borders. Would you look around? This could be the clue we need to discover Princess Zelda's whereabouts. If you would like to examine the geoglyph from ground level, you can float down with a paraglider. No need to worry about me. I can manage a simple landing.|'''Impa'''}}
 
Link can examine the geoglyph from the surface to find the [[Dragon's Tear]]. This triggers a scene where Link sees the [[Where Am I?]] memory, showing Princess Zelda arriving at Hyrule in an ancient time and being confronted by [[Queen Sonia]] and [[King Rauru]]. Afterwards, Link will awaken and Impa will be back, standing beside him.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Link? You look distracted. What's wrong?|'''Impa'''}} After telling Impa what he saw, Impa suggests continuing to examine the geoglyphs. She suggests to Link to visit the [[Forgotten Temple]], which lies at the bottom of the [[Tanagar Canyon]] in the [[Hebra]] region. She mentions there is a clue about the geoglyphs, hidden within the temple.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Goodness! You say you had a vision? Saw mysterious figures? And then Princess Zelda?! Hmm... The geoglyphs, the literature, the Dragon's Tears...and now, a vision of the lost princess. What if these are all connected? Let us continue to examine the geoglyphs. They may contain further clues that lead to Princess Zelda. You know, according to the literature, there is something to do with geoglyphs in the Forgotten Temple. The Forgotten Temple lies at the bottom of a canyon in Hebra. I think we should make our way there soon.|'''Impa'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|The literature hints that something related to the geoglyphs can be found within the Forgotten Temple. The temple is at the bottom of a canyon in Hebra. I suggest you steel yourself, and then go and seek it out..|'''Impa'''}} This will begin [[The Dragon's Tears]] quest.
 
===The Forgotten Temple===
After begining The Dragon's Tears quest, Cado and Impa will take off for the Forgotten Temple. Upon arriving, Link will find Cado at the entrance and he mentions that Impa has run up ahead. Near the [[Mayausiy Shrine]], Link will find Impa. She mentions that there is something related to the geoglyphs somewhere in the temple, but so far she hasn't been able to find what she is looking for. She wonders where could it be.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Oh, Link! Thank you again for your help with the balloon. I believe there is something related to the geoglyphs somewhere within this temple. I am searching, but so far, it has been in vain. The chambers here are enormous, so it will be a difficult task at best. Where could it be...|'''Impa'''}}
 
When Link reaches the far back room of the Forgotten Temple, he is joined by Impa and Cado.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Ahhh. This place...|'''Impa'''}} They head down to get a better luck where Impa notices the paintings the wall. The one on the far left is the [[Geoglyph]] that she and Link discovered earlier. Impa recognizes that the floor is actually a map of Hyrule and the second geoglyph is near [[Rito Village (Tears of the Kingdom)|Rito Village]].{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|There, upon the walls... Are those not...geoglyphs?! Hm. What could this mean? Hm. I believe the one we saw first was the geoglyph on the left edge of the wall. As for the next painting... According to the floor map, it is near Rito Village.|'''Impa'''}} Impa is a bit shocked that the old ruin still held such secrets, reiterating that the Geoglyphs first appeared during the [[Upheaval]]. She is excited to research the remaining geoglyphs immediately.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I can hardly believe what my eyes behold. Who could have guessed this old ruin still held such secrets? It is said that the geoglyphs appeared all over Hyrule during the Upheaval when Princess Zelda went missing. Hm. How are they connected to these images here... There is no time to dawdle! Let us hurry and investigate the remaining geoglyphs.|'''Impa'''}} After Cado suggest that Impa stop and rest before such a long journey, Impa agrees, and encourages Link instead to investgate the geoglyphs. She suggests that perhaps it will provide more clues as to the whereabouts of Princess Zelda.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Link, if you happen to see a geoglyph during your travels, I urge you to investigate this matter as well. If more strange visions are waiting at the other geoglyphs, just like the one you already experienced, well... Perhaps they will provide clues that could lead us to Princess Zelda.|'''Impa'''}} She encourages Link to make a copy of the map, which Link can do using his [[Camera]].{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Hmm... The images here do seem to be a reflection of the geoglyphs. There may even be Dragon's Tears present at the other geoglyphs, just like the one you already found. If you intend to investgate the geoglyphs, courageous one, perhaps you should somehow make a copy of the map.|'''Impa'''}}
