Tears of the Kingdom – All Zonai Dispenser Locations & Device Types

Pick up additional Zonai Devices so Link can craft complex vehicles in Tears of the Kingdom by emptying every Zonai Device Dispenser.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom introduced Zonai Devices. These items are at the heart of Link’s ability to manufacture vehicles from random rocks and planks of wood. However, they don’t just appear out of thin air. They must be collected from Zonai Device Dispensers across Hyrule and the Sky Islands regions for Link to use them whenever they want to. This guide outlines the locations of all the Zonai Device Dispensers in the game, so players can find every single one.

Zonai Device Dispensers are colossal stone mechanisms in Tears of the Kingdom. Each one gives Link a set of containers that have Zonai Devices inside in exchange for Construct materials. These are stored in Link’s bag so they can grab them and use them at any time. There are Zonai Devices littering the world of Hyrule, but these can’t be stored. The point of using a Zonai Device Dispenser is to bulk up the Zonai Devices Link can use at anytime, allowing them to create a vehicle anywhere in the world, not just on a bountiful Sky Island.

How to use Zonai Device Dispensers

To use a Zonai Device Dispenser, players must put up to five items into them. Then, those five items will cause a set of containers to drop out, which will themselves contain the Zonai Devices players seek. From our time with Tears of the Kingdom, we’ve found that players need to put up to five Construct Materials into the Zonai Device Dispenser in order to get anything useful out of it. Other items don’t work. The best items for getting as many capsules as possible are Large Zonai Charges, though these are also useful for Fusing, so players need to choose what they want the most.

All Zonai Device Dispenser Inputs & Outputs

In the table below, we’ve listed every combination of items it’s possible to use in a Zonai Device Dispenser and the number of capsules received as a result. It’s worth making the most of each Dispenser when Link finds them, so optimizing every input with the best possible Zonai Materials is essential.
