Legacy of the Rito

Legacy of the Rito is a side quest connected to Rito Village in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Its central task is locating a Swallow Bow and using it as part of the process for obtaining the Great Eagle Bow.

Legacy of the Rito is found in Rito Village and belongs to the village’s broader group of side content. Rather than sending Link through a separate dungeon or a long chain of combat encounters, the quest focuses on understanding the Rito’s weapon-making tradition and gathering what is needed to restore an important bow. It is best approached as a village errand with an equipment reward rather than as a standalone story mission.

The key item is the Swallow Bow. The bow is associated with the Flight Range area and serves as the distinctive weapon component for the Great Eagle Bow. Players who explore Rito Village and the surrounding Hebra region naturally have opportunities to encounter the relevant locations, but the quest is easier to complete when the Swallow Bow is treated as a required quest item instead of an ordinary weapon that can simply be discarded or ignored.

Completing Legacy of the Rito contributes to the wider experience of Rito Village after its major regional events. The reward is the Great Eagle Bow, a powerful multi-shot bow associated with the Rito. The quest’s practical value is therefore twofold: it adds context to the village’s history and gives Link access to a weapon that can make airborne targets, distant enemies, and elemental arrow combinations easier to handle.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Begin Legacy of the Rito

    Return to Rito Village after progressing its main storyline

    Travel to Rito Village and check the village’s Rito residents once the Rito Village regional sequence has moved forward. If the request is not available, continue the village storyline before searching for a separate quest marker.

    Location: Rito Village

    TipUse the village as your staging area and ensure the Swallow Bow is not already occupying a fragile inventory slot you might accidentally clear.

  2. 02

    Learn what is needed to complete the bow

    Confirm the request involving the Great Eagle Bow

    Speak with the relevant Rito character and read the request carefully so the required weapon and materials are clear. The quest is built around restoring or obtaining the Great Eagle Bow, not simply finding an unrelated bow from a chest.

    Location: Rito Village

    Watch outDo not sell or discard the Swallow Bow if you already have it; it is the distinctive item tied to this quest.

  3. 03

    Locate the Swallow Bow

    Travel to the Flight Range

    Leave Rito Village and follow the route toward the Flight Range, the area associated with the Swallow Bow. Explore the platforms and structures carefully rather than relying only on the quest marker, because the bow can be overlooked during ordinary regional exploration.

    Location: Flight Range

    TipApproach from above or use the surrounding vertical terrain to inspect platforms and ledges; the Rito region rewards looking upward as well as following ground paths.

  4. 04

    Add the Swallow Bow to the quest inventory

    Secure the Swallow Bow

    Collect the Swallow Bow and verify that it appears in Link’s inventory before leaving the area. If the weapon has low durability or is competing for space with another bow, keep it until the quest’s handover is complete.

    Location: Flight Range

  5. 05

    Prepare the bow-repair materials

    Gather wood and diamonds

    Return to the item requirement and collect the remaining materials requested for the Great Eagle Bow. The commonly documented materials are wood and diamonds, while the exact quantity should be confirmed from the in-game dialogue or quest interface rather than assumed from a generic crafting list.

    Location: Hyrule and Rito Village

    TipCheck Link’s inventory before making a long trip; diamonds are valuable and may already be available from earlier mining or exploration.

  6. 06

    Deliver the quest materials

    Bring every required item back to the Rito craftsman

    Return to the relevant Rito character in Rito Village with the Swallow Bow and the requested materials. If the conversation does not advance, recheck each item category and make sure the Swallow Bow is present rather than a different Rito bow.

    Location: Rito Village

    Watch outThe Great Eagle Bow cannot be completed until all requested components are available.

  7. 07

    Finish Legacy of the Rito

    Complete the bow-making request

    Confirm the handover when prompted and allow the Rito character to finish the weapon request. This completes Legacy of the Rito and awards the Great Eagle Bow for Link’s inventory.

    Location: Rito Village

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

Legacy of the Rito is primarily an inventory-and-exploration quest. The Swallow Bow is not interchangeable with an ordinary bow for the purpose of the request, so identifying the correct weapon is more important than maximizing combat preparation. Once the bow is found, the remaining task is a material check followed by a return trip to Rito Village.

The Great Eagle Bow is notable because it functions as a multi-shot bow. That makes it especially useful when Link combines arrows with elemental or utility materials, although each shot still consumes the corresponding arrow resources. The weapon’s value is therefore greatest when the player has a reliable supply of arrows and materials rather than treating it as a replacement for every other bow.

The quest does not require a dedicated boss battle in the supplied information. Its challenge comes from navigating the Rito region, locating the correct bow, and preserving enough inventory space and crafting resources to finish the handover without unnecessary backtracking.
