Preparation
Before starting this optimal path, make sure you have access to the paraglider and have not revealed any parts of the map. This guide takes place right after you get the paraglider, so it’s perfect for a fresh game. To prepare for this journey, you will need to collect the following items:

- Bokoblin Horns (3)
- Fire Fruits (3)
You can find these items just outside of Lookout Landing. Collect the restless crickets by cutting the grass, and find the fire fruits in a nearby tree. Defeat a nearby Bokoblin camp to collect the Bokoblin horns.
Cooking Elixirs and Food
Once you have collected the necessary items, head back to Lookout Landing and cook the following elixirs and food:
- Stamina Elixir: Combine 1 Bokoblin Horn and 3 Restless Crickets. Cook three of these elixirs.
- Hearty Fish: Cook a Hearty Salmon.
- Gloom Resistance: Combine a Gloomwing Butterfly, a Monster Part, and additional ingredients like apples or meat.
These elixirs and food will help you reach Hyrule Castle and survive the upcoming battles.
Heading to Hyrule Castle
With your elixirs and food prepared, it’s time to head to Hyrule Castle. Use the paraglider to fly towards the castle, and make sure to mark the following spots on your map:
- Red Marker: Landing spot at Hyrule Castle
- Blue Marker: Princess Zelda’s Room
- Green Marker: Shrine near Hyrule Castle
- Yellow Marker: White Lionel location
As you approach Hyrule Castle, avoid any enemy encounters and head straight for the red marker. Once you arrive, follow the path to collect the Champions leather, Royal Guard Shield, Royal Guard Sword, Royal Guard Spear, and other powerful weapons.
Collecting the Royal Guard Armor Set

To collect the Royal Guard Tunic, head straight from Lookout Landing to Hyrule Castle, following the path up to a room with a Black Bokoblin. Defeat the enemy and open the chest to collect the final piece of the armor set.
Facing the White Lyonel
With your powerful weapons and armor, it’s time to face the White Lyonel located at the yellow marker. Before engaging in battle, make sure to consume your Hearty Fish and Gloom Resistance elixir.
