The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds upon basically everything Breath of the Wild did by adding more content or changing things in unique ways. This means giving players more customization options, including the design of the now-iconic paraglider item.
The item Link used to traverse the skies in BotW is actually even more crucial for its sequel, as the paraglider makes leaping between Sky Islands and other structures high above Hyrule possible. And now, you can soar in style.
Nintendo has added options to change the design of your paraglider’s sail fabric, meaning you can swap between various patterns—all of which have some significance to the Zelda franchise. There are several methods to unlock all of these design options once you get into the swing of things, but you will have to go out of your way a bit to make the swap from TotK’s base design for your trusty tool.
Where to change Paraglider designs in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Hateno Village should be a familiar place if you’ve played Breath of the Wild, and it makes a return in Tears of the Kingdom as a point of interest fairly early on.
The Dye Shop is once again located in the village, which is where you can dye certain pieces of your clothing just like in BotW. However, it is also where you can pay a fee to swap the fabric and tassels on your paraglider out for one of the other patterns you have collected during your journey.

Just talk to Sayge in the shop and you can pick your pattern or view what each paraglider design will look like. You will have to own the fabric in order to make the swap, and each time you want to change designs it will cost you 20 Rupees.

There are more than a handful of unique paraglider designs you can unlock during your playthrough, though some might be easier to obtain than others.
Outside of the Ordinary Fabric you start off with and a few patterns you pick up naturally, the easiest way to unlock some of the designs players will want to see and use the most is through using amiibo—since they can unlock fabric themed around their game of origin. For example, using the Wind Waker Toon Link amiibo will unlock the King of Red Lions Fabric, which has a distinct style from the GameCube classic.
You can also get some of these designs by simply playing through the game and completing quests.
Dot Esports will update this list with a full list and details on where to unlock all of the paraglider fabrics as the information becomes available.
