When exploring the Thyplo Ruins in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you may encounter a researcher named Kazul. Speaking with the Hylian man will unlock a lengthy chain quest, the first being The Owl Protected by Dragons side adventure. If you need help finding the owl statue in the massive Zonai ruins, you’ve come to the right place because we can tell you its exact location!
Zelda: TOTK the Owl Protected by Dragons Quest Guide
The owl statue you’re looking for is located south of the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower at 0363, 3055, 0175. You can reach the stone sculpture by climbing the wall behind the four stone slates. In the next open clearing, you will discover a familiar owl statue that you can also encounter inside the hidden cave in the Treasure of the Secret Springs side quest.
Afterward, you must stand on the square stone before the effigy and activate Tulin’s power. You can do this by approaching the Sage of Wind and pressing the A button. Then, you just need to press the same button again to release a gust of wind at the owl statue.
If you do it correctly, a cutscene will play where the square stone rises to reveal a secret compartment. You can open the treasure chest to receive three Sapphires, and you can also speak to Kazul to inform him about your progress.
After you complete The Owl Protected by Dragons side adventure, you can pick up the Corridor Between Two Dragons quest. Like the previous puzzle, the second stone slate will require you to use another Sage’s ability, and this time it is the Sage of Fire’s. To unlock Yunobo’s power in Tears of the Kingdom, you must save Goron City, clear the Fire Temple, and defeat the formidable Marbled Gohma boss.
