The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild: How to Get the Paraglider
First, you will have to travel to all four of the Shrines located in the beginning location of your game. In the Oman Au Shrine, you will complete the Magnesis Trial. In the Ja Baij Shrine, you will complete the Bomb Trial. In the Owa Daim Shrine, you will complete the Stasis Trial, and in the Keh Namut Shrine, you will complete the Cryonis Trial. A guide for each of these trials is outlined in the links provided.
Once you’ve completed the final trial, you will be approached by the Old Man once again when you exit the final shrine. He will tell you that you must meet him at a different location and to find that location. You must turn to your map. In order to find it, you must imagine an “X” between the four Shrine locations, and where the lines meet in the center, the Old Man will be waiting for you. Head to the location marked on the map above to continue on your journey.
When you arrive, you shouldn’t see the Old Man right away, but instead, you should find yourself in the middle of some ruins with a glowing statue near the far end. Approach the statue.
The statue will tell you that you have collected enough Spirit Orbs to be rewarded. You should have collected one from each of the Trials that you completed in the Shrines. You will have the option to obtain a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel in exchange for all four of the Spirit Orbs. We chose the Heart Container, but you can choose either one, as both will be useful to you in-game.
After you collect your reward for completing the Shrine Trials, the Old Man will call down to you from the roof of the ruins and tell you that he is waiting for you up top. Climb your way up to the roof from outside the ruins and walk across the peak until you reach the tower he is standing in. When you arrive, the Old Man will reveal his true identity to you and tell you the secret of what happened 100 years ago and why you woke up confused and without memories.
After you speak for a few minutes and he explains everything that happened, King Rhoam will give you the Paraglider and send you on your way to begin the next quest. This will complete The Isolated Plateau Main Quest, and you will be able to fly now. In order to activate your Paraglider, press the “X” button while you are in the air.
