You can only access the Rist Peninsula Dragon Tear when you’ve checked all the other 11 first in TOTK. The Rist Peninsula Dragon Tear, when it is available to access, is practically impossible to miss. The tear is given a special quest marker in the center of the spiral island formation directly east of Death Mountain and Akkala Highlands as part of a special main quest, “The Dragon’s Tears”.

Unlike other tears, there is no geoglyph obscuring its location, instead being visible in an open area ahead of the Gemimik Shrine. This is by far the easiest Dragon Tear to find in TOTK, but it’s also the most consequential, detailing Zelda’s devotion to supporting Link in his quest, and her time-traveling adventures, shedding light in more than one way on how the game’s events came to pass. There’s even a good chunk dedicated to supporting characters and what became of the Master Sword.

After the events of the cutscene, you’re surrounded by a haunting, ominous sprouting of flowers that are as poignant as they are appropriate at this moment.

To reach this Tear the quickest way, if you don’t have the Gemimik Shrine discovered yet, I’d recommend simply gliding from the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower. Taking this route east to skip the long spiral trek can save a headache, especially if you’re hoping not to get hit by any water octoroks on the way over.
