TotK Rito Village: Broken Bridge, Shops & Tulin’s Quest
Reach Rito Village in Tears of the Kingdom, cross the broken bridge, find Snowquill armor and the nearest shrine, and start Tulin and Lucky Clover quests.
What is Rito Village, and when does the story bring you here?
Rito Village is the settlement built around the tall rock in Lake Totori, in the northwest. In Tears of the Kingdom a blizzard has disrupted village life. Purah’s Regional Phenomena quest points you toward Hebra, and meeting Teba’s family here starts the route to Tulin and the Wind Temple.
| Landmark | Location and use |
|---|---|
| Village entrance area | The foot of the village walkways; Show on map |
| Gatakis Shrine | Below the village walkways, on the southwestern side; Show on map |
| Rospro Pass Skyview Tower | On the snowy heights north of the village; Show on map |
| Oromuwak Shrine | East of the village approach and newspaper office; Show on map |
How do you get across the broken bridge?
From central Hyrule, the road through Tabantha Bridge Stable and over Tabantha Great Bridge leads north toward the village approach. Prepare cold resistance before the snowy section. The nearby former Rito Stable is now the Lucky Clover Gazette, so do not plan on using it for normal horse boarding.
At the broken bridge, put a Hylian Pine Cone into a lit campfire to create an updraft. Use the paraglider to rise, then glide across the missing span. This is an early way in; you do not need to finish a bridge-repair quest before meeting Tulin.
If Rospro Pass Skyview Tower is already open, launch and glide south toward the rock with the village on it. Once inside, activate Gatakis Shrine below the walkways so future visits do not depend on crossing the bridge.
What shops and facilities does the village have?
| Facility | What it offers | Useful detail |
|---|---|---|
| Brazen Beak armor shop | Snowquill armor with cold resistance | Buy what you need before the higher, colder climb |
| General store | Arrows and food ingredients | The regional crisis affects village supplies; check the actual shelves |
| Inn | Beds for recovery and passing time | A good stop before following Tulin into the mountains |
| Cooking pot | Cold-resistant and recovery meals | Food can cover an equipment gap, but keep track of its remaining duration |
| Goddess Statue | Heart or stamina upgrades | Look near the lower village approach; see statue locations |
| Flight Range outside the village | Rito flight training | A separate outing, listed among the side quests |
A single plan for the village may not cover the colder sky route. Check your temperature gauge as you climb, and use the temperature guide when combining clothing and food.
Which NPCs and quests should you visit?
| NPC or place | Quest or activity | When to follow it |
|---|---|---|
| Teba, Saki and Tulin, high in the village | Tulin of Rito Village | Start the regional story here, then follow the directions toward Harth and Tulin |
| Traysi and Penn at the newspaper office | Potential Princess Sightings! | Start it while passing the village approach; later reports take you to stables |
| Bedoli and the other villagers | Food and arrow exchanges | Check the side-quest list and speak to residents as the story advances |
| Teba after the regional story | Legacy of the Rito | Bring the materials for the Great Eagle Bow |
| Tulin after the regional story | Treasure of the Secret Springs | Follow the hot-spring treasure route |
What changes after the Wind Temple?
Completing the Wind Temple resolves the blizzard over the village and opens further conversations and quests. Return to Teba and Tulin instead of assuming every reward was delivered with the temple ending. The broader Hebra mountains still contain cold areas, so keep your cold-resistant gear.
The Gazette quest chain continues independently across the stables. Meet Traysi and Penn at the office first, then follow Penn’s reports; simply clearing the Wind Temple does not complete that chain.
What should you do on the first visit?
Start the Gazette quest on the way in, cross the bridge, register Gatakis Shrine and check your cold protection. Then climb the village walkways to meet Teba’s family and follow the Wind Temple route. For the order of the other regional stories, see main quest order.
