One of these secrets isTingel Isle, and while you won’t find the eccentric “fairy” Tingle himself there, here’s how to collect the Cap of Wind and a hidden Korok Seed.

How to get to Tingel Island in ToTK
In Tears of the Kingdom,Tingel Islandis the northernmost island in the chain of Islandseast of Akkala Highlands.It rises high about the Lanayru Sea, connected to Ankel Island by a narrow bridge.
The safest way to approach Tingel Island in ToTK is to travel toDavdi Island.Once there, follow the bridges north while avoiding enemies in the area. If you have it unlocked, you can also fast travel toGatanisis Shrineon the rocky cliffs along the shoreline.
Tingel Island Korok Seed location
The main attraction of Tingel Island is the Cap of Wind in Tingel Island Depths, but there’s aKorok Seedto collect before rushing forward. Head to the North section of the Island and look for atree pointed at by red arrow signs.Climb the treeto the top to find a Korok. Ya-ha-ha!
What to do on Tingel Island — Cap of Wind location
On Tingel Island (which some may spell as “Tingle Island” due to the eponymous middle-aged “fairy” from previous titles), look for acrack in the groundin thecenterof the island. The emanating red light below isTingel Island Chasm, an entrance toan area of the Depthshosting theCap of Wind.
The area in the Depths below Tingel Island doesn’t have its own Lightroot, though you should be able to see just fine if you have activated theSisinatag Lightroot.
After descending, sail right past the camp and look for the Poes in the distance, which point the way to a weak rock wall.Hammer through the rock wallwith a stone tool, or use the Vow of Yunobo to let him take care of it. I highly recommend using the Sage’s power, as this area has alotof rock.
Continue through the Islands, each connected by tunnels blocked by weak rock. Due to the number of stones that need smashing, I recommend avoiding this area until you have cleared theFire Temple.Through the final tunnel, blocked by a durable blue rock, is atreasure chestat the center of a platform. Descend to it using your paraglider and land on the platform.
Inside the treasure chest is theCap of Windinspired by Link’s design from The Wind Waker, one of my favorite Zelda titles. Be careful, however, as your arrival attracts aGloom Hands. You can stay and fight it, followed byPhantom Ganon, for some good loot — or fast travel away to safety.
