Let’s not mince words: I have spent more time picking out paraglider fabric than actually following the main quest, and I refuse to apologize. In 2026, Hyrule is still full of Koroks who need a lift and Gleeoks who would love to turn me into barbecue, so why not glide in style? The paraglider is Link’s best friend, and the dye shop in Hateno Village lets you swap fabrics by showing Sayge reference photos, scanning amiibo, or completing some wonderfully unhinged side quests. I have collected a frankly embarrassing number of these thingamajigs. Here is my totally subjective ranking of the finest fabrics Tears of the Kingdom has to offer, from “bless your heart, Addison” to “I’m literally a deity.”
A quick note: I’m ranking based on looks, nostalgia, and how much I want to flex on Bokoblins mid-air. Let’s get into it.
13. Addison’s Fabric
Addison is that friend who won’t stop telling you about his boss, except his boss is Hudson, and honestly, the enthusiasm is contagious. Help this poor guy hold up every sign in every region, and he rewards you with this loud, proudly hand-drawn fabric. It features Addison standing next to President Hudson like a corporate hype poster. The bright colors are less “soaring legend” and more “local small business grand opening,” but I kind of love it. If you want to advertise Hudson Construction from 2,000 feet up, this is your ride.
12. Zonai Fabric
The Zonai were mysterious, ancient, and apparently had impeccable taste. Complete the Legend of the Great Sky Island quest from the Steward Construct atop the Temple of Time, and you get this white fabric covered in golden Zonai iconography. It’s clean, it’s elegant, and it shimmers just enough to make me forget I’m about to faceplant into a Lynel. This is the paraglider equivalent of wearing linen pants to a beach bonfire: effortlessly classy.
11. Yiga Fabric
Look, Master Kohga is a nuisance with a big head, but I cannot deny the man has style. Complete a minigame in the Yiga Clan Hideout, and you can rock this red and gold beauty with Kohga’s mask smack in the middle. It’s dramatic, it’s villainous, and it says “I would betray Hyrule for a banana” without me having to say it. Ten out of ten for theatricality.
10. Lon Lon Ranch Fabric
If you scan the Ocarina of Time Link amiibo until the amiibo gods smile, you might get this bright blue fabric with Lon Lon Ranch’s adorable cow logo. Lon Lon Ranch may be ruins now, but that cow still lives on through Fresh Milk and my dreams. It’s moo-tiful, and I will not apologize for that pun. Using this fabric is like telling all of Hyrule, “I remember when Malon was the real hero.”
9. Majora’s Mask Fabric
Scan the Majora’s Mask Link amiibo, and you can carry that cursed, wide-eyed nightmare fuel with you wherever you glide. Those bright yellow eyes stare directly into your soul, which is perfect for making Ganon rethink his choices. Pair it with the Fierce Deity Armor set or the actual Majora’s Mask for maximum “I am the danger” energy. I love it, but I also sleep with one eye open.
8. Hudson Construction Fabric
Complete the Home on Arrange side quest and build your dream house outside Tarrey Town, and Hudson rewards you with this little piece of corporate propaganda. The fabric features Hudson himself and Hylian text that roughly translates to “Make own house.” It’s like wearing a real estate billboard, but honestly, Hudson’s go-getter energy is aspirational. I glide past villagers thinking, “Yes, I also own property. Ask me about my equity.”
7. Korok Fabric
Finish The Secret Room side quest in Korok Forest by giving Oaki the flowers they want, and you get this off-white fabric lined with the Koroks’ leaf masks. It’s simple, earthy, and quietly adorable. Every time I use it, I feel like I’m being watched by a hundred tiny forest spirits, which is accurate because I have definitely left too many Koroks stranded on mountaintops. Sorry, little dudes.
6. Egg Fabric
Scan the Link’s Awakening amiibo, and you can pay tribute to the Wind Fish’s egg with this dreamy pink and blue fabric. It’s basically the game’s title screen stretched across your glider, and it is stunning. Pair it with the Awakening armor set, and you’ll feel like you’re about to wake up on Koholint Island. The tassels even match, which is the kind of attention to detail I demand from my magical flying cloth.
5. Tunic Of Memories
Scan the Archer Link amiibo, and you get a fabric that is literally Link’s Champion Tunic from Breath of the Wild. The Master Sword emblem sits front and center, and the sleeve pattern runs along the bottom. It’s a direct hit of nostalgia for everyone who spent 200 hours climbing towers and breaking weapons. I’m not crying; I just have Korok dust in my eyes.
4. Goddess Fabric
If you want to feel like you just won the Wing Ceremony in Skyward Sword, this is the fabric for you. The white fabric with the blue Hylian Crest is a direct replica of Zelda’s handmade Sailcloth, and it pairs beautifully with Tears of the Kingdom’s sky islands. Every time I jump from a floating rock, I half expect Fi to pop out and give me a probability forecast. It’s pure, classy, and makes me feel like a chosen hero instead of a chaotic gremlin with a paraglider.
There you have it: my unsolicited opinions on magical fabrics. Whether you want to honor a cow ranch, a construction company, or an ancient civilization, there is a paraglider fabric for every flavor of Hyrule adventurer. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to scan my amiibo for the 87th time and hope the RNG gods bless me with something other than a third Tunic of Memories.
