Tears of the Kingdom‘s wing usually works like a glider. Walking forward on its body will tilt the nose forward, causing you to dive and gain speed. Walking backwards does the opposite, leveling the wing and reducing your speed. If you move to the left or right corner of the wing, it will tilt in that respective direction; it will get sharper the closer Link is to the edge.

The “correct” method is to use your Ultra handy skill and slide the wing into the rails you see to your left. You can then jump on it and ride off the ramp; if you just step on it, it will go away, then you can slide the rest of the way to the Temple of Time on the other side of the Great Sky Island.

However, keep in mind that you need to jump off the wing at the right time to land in the pond near the Temple of Time. Otherwise you’ll… Well, there’s still fall damage Tears of the Kingdom, but not if a body of water breaks your fall. May your purpose be true.

Pick up the wing with Ultrahand first. Move it off the ledge, but don’t let go.

Link uses Ultrahand to hang a wing from a cliff at the Temple of Time on the Great Sky Island in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

While still holding the wing with Ultrahand, move it back onto the ledge. You can now let go.

Then jump onto the wing and use Recall, reversing its trajectory so that it shoots into the air. While it’s in the air, use Recall again to “cancel” it in its path.

If you do this correctly, the Zonai wing will be in the air with you on it. Don’t forget the tip about the water.
