Upon first waking up in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link will find himself thrust into the world of the ancient civilization of the Zonai. This civilization has a vast amount of ruins within the sky region of the game.
In these ruins, Link can find a Zonai Device Dispenser. These machines will allow Link to turn different Zonai materials into Zonai Devices that can be extremely useful throughout your journey in Hyrule. You can build gliders, rafts, weapons, and other amazing items using these Zonai Devices.
Updated by Erin Rice on June 10, 2023: The longer the game is out, the more things players will discover while playing. This update included a list of all available Zonai Devices, so readers can know if they have found all the ones available to them or not. In addition, it also included a link to a guide showcasing every Zonai Device Dispensers and where to find them.
What Are Zonai Device Dispensers?
The Zonai Device Dispensers can be found throughout Hyrule. These machines allow Link to add Zonai resources (items such as Zonai Charge and Soldier Construct Horns) into it, and it will output different Zonai Devices (such as the Zonai Wind Glider or the Zonai Fan). Adding Large Zonai Charges will get you a lot more Zonai Devices than anything else.
These items will be vital to Link as you adventure through the world. Don't worry, if you put an item in that cannot work, it will spit the item back out. That way, you won't lose anything if you select the wrong item or aren't sure if something is a Zonai material.
Where Are They Located?
These machines are located throughout the world. There are 28 Zonai Device Dispensers in the game. There are 3 on the surface, 3 in The Depths, and 23 in the Sky. They are located in key areas around the map, usually, somewhere you need to use them to solve a puzzle or advance in the story. The first one you can come across is in the opening area. You can find it at the location marked on the map. While Shrines require Zonai Devices, most will have the Devices already available rather than located within. Meaning you will need to make sure you mark where you find them on the map in case you need to go back for a quick Device.
How Do You Use Them?
The Zonai Device Dispensers can be used by accessing your inventory and holding whichever Zonai materials you want to insert into the machine. Then, you just place them into the bowl at the front. The bowl will automatically move them into the machine, and your Zonai Devices will roll out of the front in small capsules. It is important to note the Zonai Devices you receive are random. They will dispense whatever Zonai Devices the game decides. This means you better save all the Zonai materials you find throughout your adventures. Otherwise, you may not be able to obtain the Zonai Device you need when you need it.
