Tears of the Kingdom wastes no time letting players know Sheikah technology is out of fashion, and Zonai Capsules are the new norm. The change is more than welcome, though, since players now have access to a new world of devices to explore the highs and lows of Hyrule. With Zonai Capsules, players can spawn devices to make planks fly and turn minecarts into skateboards โ the limit isnโt even the sky. But amidst all this creativity, you might have run out of Zonai Capsules, so where can you restock?
How to Use Zonai Capsules in Tears of the Kingdom
Once youโve got Zonai Capsules, be it a balloon or a fan, you need to place it in the world for it to work. First, access your inventory by pressing the plus button, finding the right menu, or pressing the up arrow button. Then, with your inventory open, look for the capsules, and when youโve found the one you want, press X to drop it in the world. Donโt worry; it usually spawns in a safe spot.
When youโve placed your Zonai Capsule in Tears of the Kingdomโs world, it becomes a Zonai device. This doesnโt mean anything besides that itโs no longer a blue blob and an object you can use. With Ultrahand, you can attach this device to other devices or world objects, like planks.
How to Get Zonai Capsules in Tears of the Kingdom
If youโve run out of Zonai Capsules, donโt worry โ plenty more from where that came from. You must head to a Zonai Device Dispenser in the Sky Islands to replenish your stock. In exchange for some Construct Horns or Zonai Charges, the Device Dispensers will give you random Zonai Capsules. For example, if you drop five Zonai Charges, youโll get up to 12 Zonai Capsules!
If youโve already finished the tutorial section, you can teleport to the shrines youโve previously visited in the Great Sky Island. Youโll find a Zonai Device Dispenser with a Fan, Flame Spitter, and Portable Pot Zonai Capsules in Tears of the Kingdom. Or, if youโre up for sky exploration, youโll run into many more Device Dispensers with different Zonai Capsules, like the Wing or Big Wheel.
There are other ways to get Zonai Capsules, like finding them in Sky Treasures, but this method relies more on chance than anything else. If thereโs anything we can recommend, be stingy with your Zonai Capsules. Ensure you can grab materials from the world instead of wasting them whenever possible.
Tears of the Kingdom is available on Nintendo Switch.
