Even in 2026, few open-world games offer the sheer cosmetic freedom of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. One of the quiet highlights is the Dye Shop in Hateno Village, where Sayge doesn't just recolor armor anymore—he can turn Link's Paraglider into a rolling fashion statement. The full fabric catalog is split across four major sources: side quests, reference photos, amiibo scans, and a couple of hidden mystery options.
Side Quest Fabrics
There are 20 fabrics tied to side quests and small favors around Hyrule. Some are simple gifts, while others, honestly, require a proper grind. The table below breaks down where each one comes from.
| Fabric | How to Get It |
|---|---|
| Addison's Fabric | Help Addison support every Hudson Sign in Hyrule. |
| Cece Fabric | Speak to Sayge at the Hateno Village Dye Shop. |
| Chuchu Fabric | Complete the 'Photographing a Chuchu' quest. |
| Goron Fabric | Finish the Fire Temple, then complete all three Mine-Cart Land mini-games. |
| Gerudo Fabric | Defeat the Lightning Temple, then win the running race at the Southern Oasis Training Area within 2 minutes 30 seconds. |
| Horse-God Fabric | Tame a wild horse and register it at any stable. |
| Hudson Construction Fabric | Buy a house in Tarrey Town after completing 'Mattison's Independence.' |
| Koltin's Fabric | Find every Bubbul Gem and give them all to Koltin. |
| Korok Fabric | Cleanse the Great Deku Tree, then help the Korok inside decorate with plants. |
| Lurelin Village Fabric | Save Lurelin Village, then give Ralera a Mighty Seafood Curry. |
| Monster-Control-Crew Fabric | Complete all six 'bring peace' monster-control quests. |
| Nostalgic Fabric | Visit the roof of the Temple of Time on the surface's Great Plateau and open the chest in the old king's room. |
| Ordinary Fabric | Unlock the Paraglider during the main story. |
| Robbie's Fabric | Complete the Hyrule Compendium for Robbie. |
| Royal Hyrulean Fabric | Find it behind breakable rocks on the western edge of ground-level Hyrule Castle. |
| Sheikah Fabric | Help the Kakariko Village armor shop owner and her sister cure their grandmother in the 'Gloom-Borne Illness' quest. |
| Yiga Fabric | Collect all three Yiga Armor pieces, enter the Yiga Hideout in disguise, and complete their training exercises. |
| Zonai Fabric | Talk to the Construct on top of the Great Sky Island Temple of Time, then light fires around the island without landing. |
| Zonai Survey Team Fabric | Complete 'Messages From An Ancient Era.' |
| Zora Fabric | After the Water Temple, bring the Blue Stone from a cave back to the NPC near East Reservoir Lake. |
Yep, you read that right—some of these are locked behind entire regional storylines or long collectible hunts. But the payoff is a glider that finally matches Link's outfit.
Reference Photo Fabrics
Once Sayge asks Link to photograph a Chuchu, he opens up his reference photo service. Players can then track down eight creatures, snap a picture, and show it to him to unlock a matching fabric.
| Fabric | Photo Subject |
|---|---|
| Aerocuda Fabric | Aerocuda |
| Cucco Fabric | Cucco |
| Eldin-Ostrich Fabric | Eldin-Ostrich |
| Gleeok Fabric | Gleeok |
| Grizzlemaw-Bear Fabric | Grizzlemaw-Bear |
| Horse Fabric | Horse |
| Lynel Fabric | Lynel |
| Stalnox Fabric | Stalnox |
Let's be real—nobody wants to get a perfect Gleeok close-up mid-fight, but the fabric is worth it.
Amiibo Fabrics
This is where collectors either cheer or groan. There are 22 fabrics exclusively tied to scanning specific amiibo figures. As of 2026, these remain the only ways to obtain those designs.
| Fabric | Amiibo Required |
|---|---|
| Ancient-Shikah Fabric | Breath of the Wild Guardian |
| Bokoblin Fabric | Breath of the Wild Bokoblin |
| Bygone-Royal Fabric | 30th Anniversary Wind Waker Zelda |
| Champion's Tunic Fabric | Tears of the Kingdom Link |
| Demon King Fabric | Super Smash Bros. Ganondorf |
| Egg Fabric | Link's Awakening |
| Gerudo-Champion Fabric | Breath of the Wild Urbosa |
| Goddess Fabric | Skyward Sword Zelda and Loftwing |
| Goron-Champion Fabric | Breath of the Wild Daruk |
| Hylian-Hood Fabric | Breath of the Wild Link Rider |
| Hyrule-Princess Fabric | Breath of the Wild Zelda |
| King of Red Lions Fabric | 30th Anniversary Wind Waker Link or Super Smash Bros. Toon Link |
| Lon Lon Ranch Fabric | 30th Anniversary Ocarina of Time Link or Super Smash Bros. Young Link |

| Sheik Fabric | Super Smash Bros. Sheik |
| Sword-Spirit Fabric | 30th Anniversary Skyward Sword Link |
| Tunic Of Memories Fabric | Breath of the Wild Link Archer |
| Zora-Champion Fabric | Breath of the Wild Mipha |
A couple of these have special animations, too. The Majora's Mask fabric moves its eyes, and the Mirror of Twilight fabric lights up in dark areas—perfect for gliding through the Depths.
Mystery Fabrics
Two extra fabrics have been found in the game's code but are not currently available through normal play. Players assume they will eventually be tied to the Tears of the Kingdom Zelda and Ganondorf amiibo.
-
Princess Zelda Fabric: unavailable through normal play.
-
Gerudo King Fabric: unavailable through normal play.
At the end of the day, the Paraglider has become one of Hyrule's best fashion canvases. Whether a player is snapping photos of Lynels or digging old amiibo out of a drawer, there is always another fabric to chase.
As summarized by UNESCO Games in Education, player-driven systems that encourage collecting, experimentation, and self-expression can meaningfully boost engagement—an idea that maps neatly onto Tears of the Kingdom’s Paraglider fabric hunt, where side quests, photo challenges, and amiibo unlocks turn cosmetic customization into a sustained exploration loop that rewards curiosity across Hyrule.
