Two things can usually happen whenever the objective doesn’t get spelled out for you in games like Tears of the Kingdom. You either figure it out yourself or you end up with us. Which isn’t a bad thing because we’re here to help after all.
While you’re here it would be fair to assume that you’re stuck with trying to get across the lake. Which is why you need the boat. In this guide, we’ll help you get across the lake with the use of your shiny new Ultrahand ability!
Tears of the Kingdom: How to Make a Boat
Crossing the lake will be the first few challenges you’ll come across on the Great Sky Island. You’ll have to make use of your Ultrahand ability to put together a raft that allows you get to your first shrine on the other side.
You can start chopping down some trees if you’re already next to the lake. Sails will already be provided, most of them are just lying around the area.
Use your Ultrahand ability and line up the logs next to each other until they stick. Use three logs to make sure you don’t experience any funny accidents while crossing.
Now you can attach any of the sails you find on the middle of the raft you just made. All there is left to do is to to put it on the water and let the wind carry you over to the other side.
You’ll be doing this again once you come across the Tajikats Shrine over at the Hyrule Field. The puzzle will mostly stay the same so head on over there whenever you have the time to do so if you want more rewards!
