Through memories, it is explained that Zelda travelled back in time to the beginning of [[Hyrule]] due to a [[Secret Stone]] enhancing her power over time. There, she meets [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|Rauru]] and [[Sonia]], shortly after they had become King and Queen. As the memories progress, Ganondorf kills Sonia, and takes her secret stone for himself. Unable to defeat Ganondorf in the [[Imprisoning War]], Rauru sacrifices himself to imprison Ganondorf, where the two remained for thousands of years until the Upheaval. | Through memories, it is explained that Zelda travelled back in time to the beginning of [[Hyrule]] due to a [[Secret Stone]] enhancing her power over time.

Soon after, Zelda receives the Decayed Master Sword at the pedestal behind the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]], after Link inadvertently transported it back in time to her. She realizes that her purpose in the past was to restore the Master Sword to its former strength. By doing so, the Master Sword, and Link, can destroy Ganondorf in the future. [[Mineru]] advises her that this is only possible if it receives a source of power for eons - which Zelda would not be able to provide. Zelda decides to take a forbidden method to provide that power, and consume her secret stone, which will turn her into a Dragon. Mineru advises against this, since Zelda will lose everything that makes her herself, but Zelda believes it is the only way. | Soon after, Zelda receives the Decayed Master Sword at the pedestal behind the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]], after Link inadvertently transported it back in time to her.

As she begins to turn, she manages to grab the Master Sword and holds it in front of her. A huge ball of light forms and she emerges from it as the Light Dragon. Shooting up into the sky, a tear wells up in her eye and falls, spreading into 11 dragon tears, that shoot across Hyrule. | ||

The Light Dragon first appears in the present day 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 circling around the perimeter of the [[Skyview Tower]]s.

After Link sends the Master Sword back in time to the past Zelda, the Light Dragon breaks the [[Cloud Barrier|cloud barrier]], allowing Link to travel to Hyrule. | ||
During the [[Recovering the Hero's Sword]] Main Quest later on, Link needs to find where the [[Master Sword]] is located. 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. | During the [[Recovering the Hero's Sword]] Main Quest later on, Link needs to find where the [[Master Sword]] is located. 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 Vessel]]s. Temporary stamina will not count for this. | Link can find the Sword impaled into the head of the Light Dragon at any point after leaving the Great Sky Island; he can stumble into it without ever consulting the Great Deku Tree or finding all the [[Dragon Tears]]. 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 Vessel]]s. Temporary stamina will not count for this, though Link's stamina will be refilled both before and after attempting the pull to offset any stamina spent reaching the sword. | ||
If | If Link does not recover the Master Sword at all, instead defeating the Demon King with conventional weaponry, then he will instead pull the Master Sword for free upon starting the [[Demon Dragon]] fight, ensuring he can deal the final, scripted blow regardless of his previous choices or his current Stamina pool. | ||
Regardless, Link will see a vision of [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Princess Zelda]] telling him that the Master Sword is the only way to defeat [[Ganon#Tears of the Kingdom|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 off at the Temple of Time with the Sword. | |||
After Ganondorf's [[Gerudo]] form has been defeated, he will consume his own [[Secret Stone]] and transform into the [[Demon Dragon]]. The Light Dragon will come to aid Link, allowing him to use it as a jumping off point to attack the Demon Dragon's weak points. Once Ganondorf has finally been destroyed, [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|Rauru]] and [[Sonia]] will appear. They use their remaining power to return the Light Dragon to normal, which is Princess Zelda. | |||
===Drops and Uses=== | ===Drops and Uses=== | ||
Link can hit the Light Dragon once every 10 minutes with any weapon or arrow to cause it to drop a [[Tears of the Kingdom Materials|materials]]. It can drop four materials this way, depending on where Link hits it. | |||
Meanwhile, [[Shard of Light Dragon's Spike|Shards of Light Dragon's Spike]] can be picked up by running along the dragon's back, as they spawn under the dragon's spikes. | |||

===Route=== | |||
Initially, while Link is on [[Great Sky Island]], the Light Dragon takes a narrow path high in the sky. After it breaks the [[Cloud Barrier]] and allows Link to return to the [[surface]], it goes into a long, circuitous clockwise loop around most of the map. Prior to receiving the [[Recovering the Hero's Sword]] quest, its path stays high in the sky, but after receiving the quest its altitude significantly lowers, technically dipping between the sky and surface regions. | |||
