Lightroots in The Depths: Illuminating Your Path
Are you ready to venture into the depths of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Don’t be afraid of the darkness lurking below! You can light up your path with the help of Lightroots.

Lightroots are your guides in the dark underground of The Depths. Activating a Lightroot will illuminate the area on your map, making navigation much easier.
But wait, there’s more! Lightroots also serve as handy warp points, just like Shrines on the Surface. So not only do they light your way, but they also make traveling around The Depths a breeze.

Don’t worry about the challenge of finding Lightroots. They are strategically placed near important structures and areas you’ll frequently revisit, such as Forges, Mines, and boss battle rematches.
When you stumble upon a Lightroot, simply walk into the light and interact with it to activate. It’s as easy as that!
And here’s a bonus – Lightroots can also heal any broken hearts caused by Gloom. Just stand beneath a Lightroot and watch your hearts return to their former glory.
Connecting Lightroots to Shrines

Did you know that each Lightroot in The Depths corresponds to a Shrine on the Surface? With 120 Shrines on the Surface and 120 Lightroots in The Depths, this connection allows you to use Shrines to find Lightroots, and vice versa.
The names of each Lightroot and Shrine are the same but spelled backward. For example, the Marakuguc Shrine outside of Goron City matches perfectly with the Cugukaram Lightroot beneath it in The Depths.
So, while you’re exploring The Depths and come across a Lightroot, don’t forget to check your Surface map to see if you’ve unlocked the corresponding Shrine. It’s a great way to keep track of your progress!
How to Use Our Lightroot Guide
If you’re determined to find every Lightroot in Tears of the Kingdom, our guide is here to help. We’ve organized every Lightroot by region, making it easy to navigate through The Depths.

Keep in mind that the topography of The Depths is the inverse of the Surface, so what may be mountainous on the Surface is cavernous in The Depths. But don’t worry, our guide has you covered with clear instructions and precise coordinates.
From Akkala to Necluda, we’ve got the location of every Lightroot, so grab your map and get ready to embark on this illuminating adventure!
Oh, and one last thing. Finishing the task of finding every Lightroot rewards you with the Dispelling Darkness Medal. While its function is currently unknown, it’s still a great accomplishment and will make your future explorations in The Depths much easier!
So, grab your Brightbloom seeds, activate those Lightroots, and embark on a journey through the illuminated depths of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!
