There are five dungeons in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Each of them is a temple that is linked with one of the sages, except for the fifth one, which is split across two areas. We’ve got some big spoilers below, so only read on if you want to know the list of all the dungeons in TotK.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dungeon list
Here’s the full list of the dungeons in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and what race they’re associated with:
- Wind Temple – Rito
- Fire Temple – Goron
- Water Temple – Zora
- Lightning Temple – Gerudo
- Spirit Temple/Construct Factory – Zonai
You must complete each of these temples to unlock the path to the Demon King. However, unlike in most Zelda titles, they can be completed in any order.
Are there traditional dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom?
There aren’t any traditional dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom. Despite pre-release hype, these are more like enhanced versions of the Divine Beasts from Breath of the Wild. Each requires you to complete five tasks that open the path to the boss fight. If you count navigating the obstacles before entering the temple as part of the dungeon, it does take longer to complete them than it did the Divine Beasts, but they’re not very lengthy.
Traditional dungeons in Zelda are linear affairs that center around finding an item and then using it to navigate obstacles to find the keys needed to reach a boss. Tears of the Kingdom’s dungeons are more freeform and allow you to complete each of the five required tasks in any order. Unfortunately, they’re also clearly marked on your map, which takes a lot of the challenge out of the experience.
Some players will be disappointed that Tears of the Kingdom’s dungeons don’t return to the traditional format. However, they each have a theme, which does address the criticism that the Divine Beasts were all the same aesthetically.
