Old Maps can be randomly found throughout the world of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

The best place to get Old Maps is by exploring the small sky islands. Most Old Maps will be hidden in chests and there are a lot of them. Overall, try to access areas that seem hard to reach or are overridden with vines.

Additionally, you can get Old Maps by defeating mini-bosses.

If you haven’t unlocked the Depths map yet, you will be able to collect Old Maps normally but won’t be able to use them.

Nevertheless, you can keep collecting Old Maps and they’ll all be useable once you unlock the Depths.

After unlocking the Depths, you can finally search for the hidden loot. Let’s see how.

The first step to using the Old Maps in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is to unlock the Depths map. When you unlock it, if you have picked up any Old Maps, yellow X marks will be added to your map.

Each Old Map corresponds to one X marker and each marker will guide you to loot. Some Old Maps will reveal extra markers after getting the first treasure, so make sure to always check your map.

One useful tip is to bring enough Brightbloom Seeds and Torches to light your path since it will be almost impossible to see and navigate the Depths otherwise.
