I have a confession: I have spent more hours in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom than I have spent on some actual life skills. It is 2026, and I still boot up my Switch just to glide around Hyrule with a ridiculous piece of cloth flapping above me. The paraglider fabric does absolutely nothing for stats. It will not make you glide farther, fall slower, or suddenly become good at landing on a Sky Island without face-planting. But since I stare at that thing for hundreds of hours, I want it to look good. So here are 10 paraglider fabrics I have strong feelings about, ranked from 'silly chicken chaos' to 'okay, I am never swapping this out.' Minor spoilers ahead for TOTK, by the way. You have been warned. 🪂
15. Cucco Fabric 🐔
This one is pure chaos in fabric form. The design is basically a giant Cucco staring into your soul, and I respect that. You unlock it by snapping a picture of one of these feathery menaces. If you have ever attacked a Cucco and then immediately regretted every choice that led you to that moment, this fabric is a tribute to your survival. Don't @ me, but sometimes I trigger the swarm just to feel something. It is silly, it is detailed, and it is a perfect reminder that Hyrule's real final boss is a flock of angry chickens. 🐓
14. Goddess Fabric ✨
This fabric reaches all the way back to Skyward Sword. It shows the hand-sewn Sailcloth that Zelda makes for the winner of the wing ceremony. Nostalgia hits hard, especially after everything that happens in Tears of the Kingdom. Sometimes I just want to feel close to Zelda while I am gliding over a chasm, okay? I am not crying, you are crying. It is a gentle, elegant design that makes me feel like I am part of a legend instead of a guy who just glued a rocket to a cart and called it transportation. ✨
13. Grizzlemaw-Bear Fabric 🐻
This one is just cute. The Grizzlemaw-Bear fabric features several bear faces over a vibrant yellow background, and yes, I will absolutely match my paraglider to my outfit. You need to photograph a Grizzlemaw Bear to get it, which is easier said than done because they are not exactly waiting by the road with a smile. Tracking one down turns into a mini adventure, and the reward is a fabric that says, 'I am dangerous, but also huggable.' I appreciate the duality. 🐻
12. Rito-Champion Fabric 🦅
The Rito-Champion Fabric is one of four champion-themed designs, and it might be the most colorful of the bunch. It brings back memories of Breath of the Wild and the friends Link made along the way. Every time I open this paraglider, I hear Revali's voice in my head, probably saying something smug. The detail is gorgeous, the colors pop against the sky, and it is a lovely nod to a champion who deserved more screen time. If you are a longtime Zelda fan, this one will hit you right in the feels. 🦅
11. Gleeok Fabric 🐉
Gleeoks are some of the fiercest enemies in Tears of the Kingdom, and the King Gleeok is a three-headed nightmare with fire, ice, and lightning. To get this fabric, you need a picture of one. That means you have to get close enough to photograph a beast that wants to turn you into a scorch mark. The risk is high, but the reward is a paraglider that looks like it could breathe fire on command. It is dramatic, powerful, and absolutely chef's kiss for anyone who loves a good dragon design. 🐉
10. Royal Hyrulean Fabric 👑
This is the fancy one. The Royal Hyrulean Fabric looks refined, expensive, and like it belongs in a castle treasury. There are other Zelda-themed fabrics that feel more patchwork and homemade, but this one is polished. It is not the most creative design in the game, but it is the best if you want your paraglider to scream, 'I am the hero of Hyrule, and I have excellent taste.' Sometimes you just want to glide with dignity. 👑
9. Lurelin Village Fabric 🏝️
You get this fabric after helping rebuild Lurelin Village, and the quest is actually fun. It feels good to restore a little seaside community instead of just collecting another shiny thing. The fabric itself is bright yellow with markings that remind me of the village, and it looks great while soaring over the coast. It may not have the deep nostalgic weight of some other designs, but it is cheerful, meaningful, and worth using for a while. Plus, I am a sucker for a good rebuild quest. 🏝️
8. Goron Fabric 🪨
If you loved your time in the Eldin region or the Fire Temple, the Goron Fabric is for you. It is similar to the Goron-Champion Fabric, but I think this one is more lively and detailed. The red design contrasts beautifully with the sky islands, and it makes me feel like I am part of the Goron family. It is sturdy, warm, and probably smells like rocks and barbecue. I mean that as a compliment. 🪨
7. Gerudo-Champion Fabric ⚡
This fabric is a tribute to Urbosa, the Gerudo Champion from Breath of the Wild. The colors are vibrant, and the design carries a quiet strength that fits her perfectly. Unfortunately, you can only get it by scanning the Urbosa Amiibo, and the drop is random. That means you might be scanning once a day for a while, hoping the RNG gods smile upon you. Is it worth the hassle? For Urbosa? Absolutely. ⚡
6. Addison's Fabric 🪧
Ah, Addison. The man who cannot keep President Hudson's signs upright. You have probably seen him struggling all over Hyrule, and after the tenth time, you might want to ignore him. Do not. His fabric is surprisingly one of the most vibrant, colorful, and interesting designs in the entire game. It is a reward for helping a guy who is basically a walking side quest. Every time I glide with it, I remember his little salute and I smile. Then I remember I have to help him again in another region. 🪧
