'''Dragon Tears''' are special events which can be triggered in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]''. There are a total of 12 tears located throughout all of [[Hyrule#Tears of the Kingdom|Hyrule]], each associated with a geoglyph. Every Dragon Tear contains a memory of Zelda's time in the past. They contain key characters in the early days of Hyrule, and detail Ganondorf's rise to power.  
'''Dragon's Tears''' (also parsed as '''Tears of the Dragon''') are small pools of water, formed from the literal tears of the [[Light Dragon]], which trigger [[Tears of the Kingdom Memories|memories]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]''.

Scattered across Hyrule, see § Locations

Quests

Dragon's Tears (also parsed as Tears of the Dragon) are small pools of water, formed from the literal tears of the Light Dragon, which trigger memories in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom

Eleven of the twelve Dragon Tears are associated with the eleven geoglyphs found around Hyrule. They are not directly visible from a distance, but are camouflaged as solid white tear designs on the individual geoglyphs, most of which also contain hollow tears.

Link learns about them during the Impa and the Geoglyphs quest, when Impa takes him up in her newly-repaired Hot-Air Balloon:

"You know, I read something in the village's old literature—a passage about what the ancients called Dragon's Tears.

"Where the Tears rest upon the earth, we marked down the images to which they gave birth."

I believe this geoglyph is one such "image." [...] But you know...if the literature is correct, one of them should be quite close—near the geoglyph, or even within its borders"

— Impa

When Link discovers the tear, coming close enough to move past its camouflage, it glows; then gathers itself up into a ball and floats into the air. It then releases a burst of bright light, imparting a memory of what happened to Zelda after she disappeared in the Hyrule Castle Chasm. Once it has given Link the memory, it bursts like a bubble, leaving only the small hole in the ground where it was before.

After Link discovers all eleven Dragon's Tears contained within geoglyphs, the Light Dragon appears and cries once more, dropping a final Dragon's Tear at Rist Peninsula. After Link views this memory, the hole is left surrounded by Silent Princess flowers.
