What Are Old Maps in Tears of the Kingdom?

Old Maps are found in treasure chests. Find one and a spot on the map will be marked with an “X” on Link’s Purah Pad. Head to these spots in the Depths, as there are treasures there. If you’ve found the item already, the Old Map won’t waste your time sending you there again.

Where to find Old Maps in Tears of the Kingdom?

The Old Maps have been placed on the various sky islands. In most cases, the challenge lies with finding the treasure chests. Sometimes, a Flux Construct will stand in the way. These enemies can be tricky because they are made out of Zonai blocks, and they can change their shape. The following locations have been verified to hold Old Maps, though there are more maps to be found:
