==Overview==
==Overview==
The quest branches off of the [[Find the Fifth Sage]] quest, requiring completion through the story up to said point including all four [[Tears of the Kingdom Dungeons|dungeons]].
In [[Kakariko Village (Tears of the Kingdom)|Kakariko Village]], [[Paya]], who is shown as the new chief, is investigating the Ring Ruin floating above the village. Alongside the chief, is the [[Zonai Survey Team|Zonai Survey Team's]] leader, [[Tauro]], who is contemplating how to get inside the ring to find a stone tablet matching the one in the other four. However, they are stymied by an order from "Princess Zelda" not to touch the floating Ruin, and [[Calip]] prevents Link from getting close.
 
After finding the "Zelda" who gave the orders was [[Phantom Ganon (Tears of the Kingdom)|a puppet]] of [[Ganon]]dorf, Link explains this to Paya and Tauro. Excited, they realise the order was never valid, but are not sure how to get in non-destructively. Using [[Ascend]], Link finds his way in, and with a picture of the tablet goes back to the ground and shows it to the team. After deciphering the tablet's writing, they are lead to the [[Dracozu Lake]] in the Faron region.
 
A mural on a wall inside one of the ruins near the lake's head reveals information regarding an outfit, and putting a [[Zonai Charge]] on a shrine as a sort of tradition. Link picks up the [[Charged Shirt]] from a Zonai treasure chest in the room with the mural, and [[Charged Trousers]] & [[Charged Headdress]] in two similar rooms blocked by [[sediment]] and vines, respectively, along the winding river. Upon arrival at the ruins at the dragon river's tail, he wears the [[Charged Set]], then places the Zonai Charge on the altar. The ruins begin to react, with eyes of various dragon statues beginning to glow green with thunder rods raising from the statues. Lightning strikes them, and it clears up the heavy storm above the region, which was once obscuring a series of sky islands in the shape of a dragon known as [[Thunderhead Isles]].
 
When Link makes his way up to the islands, which still has stormy weather, he must go from island to island using [[Ascend]], defeating numerous enemies along the way including a [[Flux Construct III]]. At the end of the path, he finds a [[Shrine of Light]], as well as a Zonai-style mask. Touching the mask, he hears a voice of [[Mineru|a woman]] calling out to him referring to him as the "Chosen protector of [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Zelda]]" and the mask fires a green beam of light towards the ground for Link to follow, ending the quest to pick up with the [[Guidance from Ages Past]] quest.

==Requirements==
The quest branches off of the [[Find the Fifth Sage]] quest, requiring completion through the story up to said point including the first four [[Tears of the Kingdom Dungeons|dungeons]].


A mural on a wall inside one of the ruins near the lake's head reveals information regarding an outfit, and putting a [[Zonai Charge]] on a shrine as a sort of tradition. Link picks up the clothing pieces along the winding river, and upon arrival at the ruins at the dragon river's tail, he places the Zonai Charge on the shrine, and the ruins begin to react, with eyes of various dragon statues beginning to glow green with thunder rods raising from the statues. Lightning strikes them, and it clears up the heavy storm above the region, which was once obscuring a series of sky islands in the shape of a dragon known as [[Thunderhead Isles]].
Note that this quest itself is not required in order to do Guidance from Ages Past and ultimately obtain the [[Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit]] - the stormclouds make it harder to reach Mineru's mask on Dragonhead Island, but do not prevent it. If Guidance from Ages Past is completed before the storm clouds over the Thunderhead Isles are dispelled, Secret of the Ring Ruins will complete as soon as this happens.


When Link makes his way up to the islands, which still has a stormy weather, he must go from island to island using [[Ascend]], defeating numerous enemies along the way including a [[Flux Construct III]]. At the end of the path, he finds a [[Shrine of Light]], as well as a [[Construct|Zonai Construct's]] head, as he hears a voice of a woman calling out to him referring to him as the "Chosen protector of [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Zelda]]" and fires a green beam of light towards the ground for Link to follow, ending the quest to pick up with the Find the Fifth Sage quest.
