It somehow becomes difficult to cover every part of the Hyrule Kingdom by traveling on land. Thankfully, like in Breath of the Wild, you can Fast Travel in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as well. However, this feature is not available from the beginning of the game. Instead, you must first complete 3 Shrine challenges that are located on the Great Sky Island. Things may get a bit tricky if you are unaware of this game’s mechanics. To help you out, here are all the ways through which you can Fast Travel.
The 3 Shrines located on the Great Sky Island are – the Ukouh Shrine (north), the In-isa Shrine (west), and the Gutanbac Shrine (east). Completing challenges at these 3 Shrines will unlock different abilities for Link’s Ultrahand. You will unlock the Great Sky Island during the Closed Door quest. With that out of the way, here’s how you can do fast traveling in Tears of the Kingdom.
