How do you get on the Light Dragon?
To get on the Light Dragon, you’ll need to fast-travel to the nearest Skyview Tower, launch yourself, and land atop its body, and it’s recommended to complete the Korok Forest quest to make the Light Dragon fly lower to the ground. The Light Dragon can be accessed by using a nearby Skyview Tower to lift Link up to the sky, and from there, it’s only a matter of gliding onto the dragon’s back using various methods such as building a hot air balloon with Zonaite devices or leaping off a floating island.
Understanding the Light Dragon
Location and Spawn
The Light Dragon is the most elusive of the bunch, as the creature’s route encompasses the entire outskirts of Hyrule, including places like Goronbi Lake, Zora’s Domain, Hateno Village, Lindor’s Brow, and Thyphlo Ruins.
Identifying the Light Dragon
The Light Dragon has distinctive white and yellow coloring and a blue aura radiating from the Master Sword in its head, making it easier to identify when spotted in the sky.
