How to get to Lake Saria in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

If you try to get to Lake Saria via the Lost Woods to the south, you’ll likely end up in a loop without making much progress. It is the Lost Woods, after all, and we all know how confusing it can be. This is undoubtedly annoying since we’re so close to our location, but don’t worry. The solution to this is rather simple, and it first involvesgetting to the sky.

The quickest way to reach the sky from the Korok Forest is by using theThyplo Ruins Skyview Tower to the north of the Great Plateau. Once you’re in the sky, look for the patch of fog with aglowing green light. This isNinjisShrine, and it’s where we need to go. If you’ve already unlocked this Shrine, just fast-travel to this point.

Instead,look for a path of Silent Mushrooms. These glow blue, so they’re hard to miss if you look out for them. Simplyfollow these Silent Mushrooms alongfrom tree to tree, and you’ll eventually reach Lake Saria. Head in the general direction of the lake, and you’ll find them.

The only treasure in Lake Saria is theForest Dweller’s Bow, located in the center of the lake. Continue following theblue mushroomsuntil you reach a smalldock. Swim across the lake to a small patch of land with a rotting tree. Inside the crevice is a treasure chest containing theForest Dweller’s Bow.

While theForest Dweller’s Bowis pretty decent, the loot here isn’t as incredible as one would hope for a lake named after the Forest Sage herself. At least there are plenty of mushrooms to pick up along the way.
