Zonai devices are the parts you stick together with Ultrahand: fans, wheels, wings, emitters and the rest. This page lists all 27, what each does and whether it runs on your Energy Cell, then maps the 30 Device Dispensers with the devices each one gives out. For growing the Energy Cell itself, see battery upgrades.

What does each Zonai device do?

“Power” says whether a device uses energy while it runs. It takes that energy from a Battery or Big Battery attached to the same build first, then from your Energy Cell. Values marked ¹ are less certain than the rest and may be wrong.

SpringCompresses, then snaps out hard enough to launch thingsNone ¹
Homing CartDrives itself toward monstersUses energy ¹
Flame EmitterShoots fire; under a Balloon it heats the airUses energy

Shock EmitterFires an electric bolt from its horn when struckUses energy ¹
Beam EmitterFires a long-range light beamUses energy ¹
CannonFires exploding shots at intervalsUses energy ¹
Construct HeadKeeps turning to face an enemy; attach a weapon device to it for homing attacksUses energy ¹
Time BombExplodes after a delay; the blast can set off other devicesSingle use
LightA short-range lamp for dark roads and cavesUses energy
MirrorGathers and reflects light over a long distanceNone ¹
HydrantGushes water when struckUses energy ¹
Portable PotA cooking pot you can place anywhere; one recipe, then it is goneSingle use
StakeDrives into the ground or a wall and holds a build in placeNone
BatteryStores Zonai energy and powers the devices it is attached toSupplies energy
Big BatteryA disposable battery holding several times as much as a BatterySupplies energy

Devices used for a long time eventually flash green and disappear, so a vehicle you leave running will not last forever. For recipes to cook in a Portable Pot, see all recipes; for saved vehicle designs, see Autobuild schematics.

Where do you get Zonai devices?

  • Device Dispensers. Put Zonai Charges, Large Zonai Charges or Soldier Construct Horns in the receptacle at the foot of the machine and it spits out Zonai capsules, each holding one device picked at random from that dispenser’s list.
  • Treasure chests. Some chests hold a Zonai capsule instead of a weapon or material.
  • Crystal Refineries, after a full Energy Cell. When your Energy Cell has all 48 Energy Wells, the Steward Constructs at the two refineries trade any device you choose for 3 Crystallized Charges each, or 30 for a Big Battery. Apart from chests, this is the only way to get a Big Battery.

How many capsules does a dispenser give?

Putting several charges in at once pays a bonus.

Put in at onceZonai ChargeLarge Zonai Charge
11 capsule10 capsules
2322
3534
4847
51260

Five Large Zonai Charges at once give 60 capsules, where five single Zonai Charges one at a time give only 5. Forge Constructs in the Depths trade one Large Zonai Charge for one Large Zonaite, so ore mined in the Depths turns into a lot of capsules.

The two dispensers on Great Sky Island (10 and 11) are the first you meet; the Crystal Refinery beside Nachoyah Shrine is on the same island.

How do you recharge Zonai devices?

  • Wait. Your Energy Cell refills by itself whenever no device is drawing on it.
  • Eat a charge. Using a Zonai Charge from the menu tops the Energy Cell up a little. A Large Zonai Charge, used the same way, stops the Energy Cell from draining for a short time.
  • Attach a Battery. A Battery or Big Battery built into a vehicle powers it before your own Energy Cell is touched. They are disposable and break once empty.
  • Grow the Energy Cell. Each Energy Well you add lets devices run longer. The battery upgrades page covers where to get Crystallized Charges and what each upgrade costs.

FAQ

How many Zonai devices are there in Tears of the Kingdom?
27. The game text has 27 Zonai capsule names. Device Dispensers give 26 of them; the Big Battery only comes from chests or from a Crystal Refinery after your Energy Cell is fully upgraded.
How many Device Dispensers are there?
The game data has 30: 25 on sky islands, 3 on the surface and 2 in the Depths.
How do you get more capsules from a Device Dispenser?
Put in several charges at once. One Zonai Charge gives 1 capsule, but five at once give 12; one Large Zonai Charge gives 10 and five give 60. You can put in up to five items at a time.
Can you choose which Zonai device you get?
Not from a dispenser: each one gives a random device from its own list of three to six. Once your Energy Cell has all 48 Energy Wells, the Steward Constructs at the Crystal Refineries sell any device for 3 Crystallized Charges (the Big Battery for 30).
