What Happened to the Divine Beasts in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Answered

In Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Divine Beasts played a crucial role in the storyline. These colossal mechanical creatures, namely Vah Ruta, Vah Rudania, Vah Medoh, and Vah Naboris, were instrumental in sealing away Calamity Ganon millennia before the events of Breath of the Wild. However, in Tears of the Kingdom, the question arises: do the Divine Beasts make a comeback, and what fate befell them?

Are they in Tears of the Kingdom?

In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, none of the Divine Beasts from Breath of the Wild make a comeback. They are absent in the main storyline, as well as in any side quests or playable missions.

The absence of the players is made even more enigmatic by the lack of a proper explanation provided to them. The disappearance is not incorporated into the storyline of Tears of the Kingdom, and neither are the players explicitly mentioned by any of the characters.

Players have been left in a state of wonder, pondering the fate of the Divine Beasts and the possibility of their return in a future Zelda game.

Where to Find the Divine Beasts’ Helms

However, it is worth mentioning that players can obtain the helms of the Divine Beasts in the game as a small hidden feature paying homage to these immense deities. Below are the locations where they can be found.

• Vah Ruta Divine Helm – Cave beneath Zora’s Domain (3237, 0353, 0095)
• Vah Rudania Divine Helm – Lizard’s Burrow (2200, 3078, 0406)
• Vah Naboris Divine Helm – West Gerudo Underground Ruins (-4672, -1975, 0024)
• Vah Medoh Divine Helm – North Biron Cave (-3957, 3270, 0241)

What Happened to the Divine Beasts in Tears of the Kingdom?

We are not completely certain about their whereabouts or the reason for their disappearance since their absence is not explicitly clarified.

Nevertheless, players have hypothesized that Zelda may have taken apart the Divine Beasts following the events of Breath of the Wild, in order to prevent the Champion’s spirits from being ensnared within them, similar to what occurred with Mipha in the past.

Since the Zelda canon does not provide a clear explanation, it is impossible to confirm the accuracy of this explanation. However, it aligns with the story and our knowledge about Zelda. If there are future installments in the highly praised Nintendo franchise, they could potentially shed light on the fate of the Divine Beasts.
