The birdlike Rito. Due to their lives flying freely in the sky, they've developed a unique culture that makes the most of their characteristics.
From the design of their village to the style of their combat and their tools made out of feathers, you'll be able to glimpse the traditions and skills unique to this people living in Hebra.
Rito Village

Flight Range
Flight Range
Soar through the sky and shoot arrows
The Rito warriors use their wings to shoot arrows from the sky. Anyone can try out this unique fighting style at the Flight Range on the north side of the village. Fly through the air riding on the updraft, and shoot a series of targets. Try to shoot them all for the perfect score.
At Swallow's Roost, Rito Village's inn, you can spend the night in a Rito-down bed, which uses plenty of fine Rito feathers. Sleeping in a soft bed is a great way to get rid of the exhaustion of adventure and can help you feel even more recovered than normal. Maybe it's nice to reward yourself once in a while?
The Forgotten Temple
The Forgotten Temple
Since Hebra is covered in snow and difficult for people to visit, there are still a number of ancient ruins lying undisturbed.
Visiting the ruins while thinking about ancient times is one of the best ways to enjoy Hebra.
Endless Guardians block your way in a mysterious
temple
In Tanagar Canyon, which separates Hebra from central Hyrule, there's a hidden Forgotten Temple.
Even now there are countless Guardians roaming this temple. It is considered to be a facility related to the hero.
Ancient Columns

From the shape of the columns, it's thought to be remains from the same ancient civilization as the Forgotten Temple, but the details remain shrouded in mystery. It's said that even Princess Zelda came to investigate them.
North Lomei Labyrinth

Perhaps because of the harsh environment with blizzards and freezing temperatures, Hebra is home to many formidable enemies. So it's perfect to challenge your abilities.
In Coldsnap Hollow, near Hebra East Summit, lives an ice monster called Frost Talus. Its whole body is made of ice, so not only will you freeze if you touch it, but its tough body is resistant to attacks, making it a tough enemy. However, it does seem to have a weakness with heat.
Build bonfires in advance, and each time Frost Talus touches one, it will get knocked down. This will give you more chances to aim for its weak spot, giving you an advantage.
One of the appeals of Hebra is the cuisine that can only be tasted in this region, using plenty of ingredients you can only find in the cold. Among them, dishes using the valuable Hearty Salmon and desserts made with the Wildberries that grow in Hebra are exquisite.

Did you happen to see the aurora?
An aurora is a mystic natural phenomenon that everyone should see at least once in their lives. Here in Hebra, it has been reported that auroras were seen in the northern mountainous area on clear nights.
Mystery of a Stalhorse
Rumour has it that Stalhorse, a skeleton horse, appears in North Tabantha Snowfield or North Lomei Labyrinth. There have been no photographs, so the accounts are hard to believe—what is the true story?
Gigantic fossil from time immemorial
In a cave in the north of Hebra Mountain, a gigantic whale fossil was found. Some are investigating the ground believing that there are two more whale fossils in Hyrule, and there are high hopes for further discoveries.
Animals thriving in the severe environment of Hebra with extremely cold temperatures have undergone peculiar evolution.
The White Pigeon, white as snow, the Snowcoat Fox, with beautiful blue hair, and the Cold-Footed Wolf, with a bluish tone—perhaps they have colours similar to snow or ice so that they can hide from their predators.
The Tabantha Moose, originally from Tabantha, and the Great-Horned Rhinoceros, adapted to snowy mountains, among others, might attack you using their impressive horns as weapons, so you have to be careful when watching them.
In Tabantha Tundra and Sturnida Secret Hot Spring, the fearsome predator, the Grizzlemaw Bear, has been sighted.
Hebra is a cold region with the lowest temperatures in all of Hyrule. There's no shortage of travellers who get into difficulties due to underestimating the cold. It's essential to take proper precautions, such as bringing warm clothing, as well as medicine and food that can warm you up.
If you dress too lightly…
Selmie, resident of Mt. Hebra:
Our recommended outfit is the Rito Feather Shirt, made by the Rito for Hyrulians visiting Hebra. It's excellent at keeping in warmth, packed with plenty of down feather shed by the Rito.
Warm yourself from the inside
with food and medicine
The safest way to fight the cold is to wrap up warm. However, even if you are underequipped, you can withstand the cold for a while with medicine or food that warms you up when you eat it.
