Where to find Hoz in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Your first task in the Crisis at Hyrule Castle main quest of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is to meet up with the Hoz, the captain who is leading the search party of Princess Zelda. He’s currently at Hyrule Castle, so leave Lookout Landing and head through the ruins of Hyrule Castle Town until you reach the gates to the castle itself.
Along the way, you’ll be able to collect some more weapons and, if you choose, complete the Kyononis Shrine challenge.
At the castle gates, you’ll quickly realise that the gates are far too big for you to open. Instead, you’ll have to jump over the side of the walkway by the gates and walk around them.
Once you’re on the other side, you can talk to Raseno to learn that Hoz is at the first gatehouse for the castle. To find this gatehouse you simply need to follow the path until you reach the building.
When you reach the gatehouse, head inside and then climb one of the walls to reach its first balcony. From there, you need to continue climbing the outside walls until you reach the next level of the gatehouse where you’ll find Hoz.
Talk to Hoz and sit back to enjoy the next cutscene.
Now it's time to return to Lookout Landing where you'll get the Paraglider! If you'd like to learn more about Link's adventure across Hyrule, visit our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough.
