A new and exciting feature of the dragons in Tears of the Kingdom is that players can now ride them if they dare to resist their fiery or icy breath with some potions.

When farming dragons, using a map or game mechanics won’t cut it. The best way to track them down is to launch off a Skyview tower like a fearless adventurer and keep an eye out for the majestic creatures on the surface. If they’re not there, players can wait patiently at the chasm where they emerge from the depths or take a deep breath and plunge into the murky waters below. Following the reverse of the dragon’s path through the depths might just lead to a glimpse of these winged fish gliding through the abyss.
