The A Trip Through History quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be quite challenging, as the various Ring Ruins locations that you have to visit are not marked on your map. There are lots of quests like this in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and this one can be among some of the most confusing in the game for many.

You thankfully won't need to do much once you eventually reach the Ring Ruins, but you might have to show off your climbing gear skills, as some of the spots you'll need to visit can be rather vertical.

So, make sure to read the rest of this guide to find out how to complete the A Trip Through History quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, alongside all of the Kakariko Village Ring Ruins map locations.

Where are the Kakariko Village Ring Ruins?

As shown in the map screenshot above, the TOTK Kakariko Village Ring Ruins map locations are quite spread apart, and there are a couple that you might otherwise easily miss.

While there are five Ring Ruins in total within the village, you only need to visit four as the fifth has been forbidden by Princess Zelda and thus is inaccessible. Check out the table below to learn where to find the four Ring Ruins in Kakariko Village alongside their map coordinates:

Coordinates Ring Ruins Map Location
1634, -1194, 0216 (1) Southwest of Kakariko Village, location of Codgers' Quarrel quest
1737, -0901, 0199 (2) Behind and above the main building in Kakariko Village, will need to climb
1900, -0911, 0199 (3) To the east of the forbidden Ring Ruins, on a hill
1939, -1080, 0166 (4) Southeast of Kakariko Village, to the east of the Zonai dispenser

They aren't too tough to find once you know where they are, and they are obviously quite visually distinctive too. All you need to do once you've found them now is head inside, which we've explained in more detail below.

In order to complete A Trip Through History in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must read all of the ledgers within the Ring Ruins and then report back to the quest giver with your findings.

The ledgers themselves are typically found next to the ancient Hylian stone carvings, so once you find that the ledger should be in the immediate vicinity. Once you've found the ledger, all you need to do is interact with it and the information should be displayed in several speech boxes.

Then, head back to the quest giver who will be shown on the map as the quest marker and speak to him to complete the A Trip Through Time quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, showing you all of the Ring Ruins map locations in Karariko Village to help you out.

Make sure you also check out all Necluda Shrine locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as they are all in the same region as this quest.
