High above Hyrule, a mysterious floral ring hangs from shop ceilings, catching players’ eyes with its quiet charm. But the Ring Garland in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn’t just decoration-it hides a subtle purpose that ties into one of the game’s most heartfelt traditions.
So far, we know a few things for sure: where to buy the Ring Garland, how often you can purchase a new one, who will receive it as a gift, and a few ways to use the Ring Garland the way a garland is meant to be used. To beautify the world, of course!
The Ring Garland’s location in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Ring Garland sits at coordinates 1822, -1002, 0112 in Kakariko Village, southeast of Central Hyrule, where villager Koko sells it for 5 Rupees from her stand. Players spot the stall early during visits to the area amid ring-shaped ruins from the Upheaval. Koko hands it over after purchase, ready for players to fuse onto a shield.
There’s only one place to buy the Ring Garland: a stand in Kakariko Village. A kid named Koko sells the decoration for 5 rupees. You can find her at the coordinates of (1822, -1001, 0112). You can buy one Ring Garland per day, so don’t worry if you break your first. Or tenth.
The Ring Garland has to be held or fused if you want to move it – which is to say that it can’t be placed into Link’s inventory on its own. It’s a hassle to carry it for long distances, so we recommend fusing it onto a shield and then keeping that shield safe in your inventory.
One way to use the Ring Garland
Fuse the Ring Garland to a shield using the Fuse ability. Head to Gerudo Shelter underground in Gerudo Town during evening hours. Equip the shield and speak to Deltan in Ashai’s Voe and You class to trigger special dialogue that cheers her up.
As noted, to make transportation much easier (and to allow for fast travel) fuse the Ring Garland to a shield. Now travel to Gerudo Town. Make sure it’s evening time and that your Ring Garland-fused shield is equipped. (If it isn’t evening, take a rest at a bonfire.)
You’ll find several people within the Gerudo Shelterhosting a class led by a woman named Ashai. She will ask you to participate. Cycle through conversations with the first few participants until it’s Deltan‘s turn. She will react excitedly when she sees your Ring Garland, calling it an item “famous for binding the destinies of people.”
She’s thrilled – you’ve restored her hope! But there’s no reward beyond the joy of the cute little conversation.
How to use the Ring Garland and unlock a reward
To use the Ring Garland, purchase it from Koko in Kakariko Village and hang it above a bed in one of Link’s houses or lodgings. The item serves as a decorative charm associated with good fortune and blessings. Once placed, it can trigger a small surprise or reward the next time Link rests, adding a touch of charm and a hint of mystery to his home setup.
That’s the real question, isn’t it? There’s the journey to Gerudo Town described above. And it’s possible you can use it to decorate Link’s potential home in Tarrey Town, or maybe to decorate Zelda’s digs. But that can’t be it, can it?
So then what’s the deal? For now, there is no known tangible reward or official quest for using the Ring Garland.
Instead, some players are using the Ring Garland for its most obvious purpose: to add some color to something drab. Once it’s attached to your shield, some people will apparently react to it – like the folks in Gerudo Town.
