Zelda: TOTK – How to Unlock The Zonai Mirrors (& What They’re For)

The Zonai Mirror is one of 27 Zonai Devices found throughout the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. In the game, Link will encounter a Device Dispenser on the First Great Sky Island, which will teach Link how to use it and what materials can be added to the Dispenser to gain back an item. Depending on what Link puts into the Dispenser, he can gain more items back than what he put in.

Device Dispensers are located all across Hyrule, mostly concentrated on the Sky Map but also scattered on the ground and in the Depths. These Dispensers carry things such as Wings and Fans, which can be used for traversal, but also things like Flame Emitters and Rockets, which can be used for defense and fighting. The Zonai Mirror is one such item that will serve as more of a defensive item, particularly useful when added to other vehicle builds in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Where To Find Zonai Mirrors

To find a Zonai Mirror, players will first have to reach the correct Device Dispensers. While there are many Device Dispensers across Hyrule, they only carry a few Zonai Devices each. For Zonai Mirrors, the only available Dispensers are on the Sky Map at the following locations:

• South Lanayru Sky Archipelago
• East Gerudo Sky Archipelago
• Tabantha Sky Archipelago
• Lightcast Island

These four locations can be found by activating the corresponding Skyview Towers in Zelda: TotK, which will reveal both the Hyrule Map and the Sky Map. Each Archipelago will be labeled, and the Skyview Towers are also an excellent mechanism to get high enough to glide over to the Sky Islands.

Once one of the previous Device Dispensers has been located, use a Zonai Charge or Construct to use the Dispenser. A Mirror is not guaranteed, but it should not take many attempts to gain one. Once a Device has been gathered from a Dispenser, it will be in Link’s inventory under Zonai Devices. To use it, select and choose “add item.”

The Zonai Mirror reflects light, which can be used to deter certain Monsters and solve puzzles. Link can hold it himself or attach it to his shield to stun enemies or creatures momentarily. Moving it with the Ultrahand is one way to attach it to an item. Attaching it to a cart will keep some enemies away from Link as he travels across Hyrule. With the Ultrahand and Fusion powers in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there are many possibilities for using these items, but using them defensively is likely the best option.
