The Travel Medallion returns in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but it's not a DLC-locked item this time around. There is a quest chain involving Robbie that lets you access this Key Item, allowing you to create your own fast travel spots.

You can grab the Travel Medallion from Robbie after you complete his first quest and unlock the Photo mode on your Purah Pad. When you first unlock the Travel Medallion, it can create one fast travel point. This can be further upgraded by Robbie two more times, giving you a total of three custom fast-travel points that can be placed wherever you want.

How To Start The Travel Medallion Quest Line

When you first get to Lookout Landing, you want to continue along the main quest until you unlock the one called Regional Phenomena.

With this unlocked, you should be able to talk to Robbie and Josha. Upon talking to them, you should begin a quest called Camera Work in the Depths.

This quest requires you to dive into a chasm and explore the depths, unlocking the Photo mode in the Purah Pad in the process. Complete Josha and Robbie's request to photograph statues in the Depths and return to them.

With that done, you must complete the follow-up quest called A Mystery in the Depths, which unlocks the Autobuild function. With Autobuild unlocked, return to Lookout Landing and repair the makeshift balloon transporter.

Robbie will mention he is moving back to Hateno Village, taking up residence in the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, and that you should look for him there.

To continue his quest, this should be your next destination. Take your time, or beeline directly there.

Where To Find The Travel Medallion

When Robbie moves to Hateno Village, make your way over there and visit the lab on the top of the hill. Here Robbie will talk to you about upgrading your Purah Pad as well as unlocking the Shrine Locator for you.

One such upgrade Robbie provides is the Travel Medallion, which he explains is currently elsewhere. After you ask him about it, he will tell you to go to the Akkala Region north of Hateno Village, specifically to the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.

Travel to the Akkala Region and go to the Ancient Tech Lab, just up the road from the East Akkala Stables. When you arrive, knock on the door to trigger a Yiga Clan ambush.

Defeat these knuckleheads, and you'll be able to go inside the lab. When you enter, head for the chest to the right that holds the Travel Medallion.

You should talk to the man on the left side of the room to obtain a piece of the Yiga Clan armour set, the Yiga Armour.

With the prototype in hand, travel back to Robbie in Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. Talk to him about the Travel Medallion Prototype, and he will reward you with a functioning Travel Medallion.

How To Upgrade The Travel Medallion

Now you can use the Travel Medallion to place custom fast-travel points. To do this, select it from your Key Items and use it wherever you want. This will create a gate you can now return to or replace at any time.

You can upgrade the Travel Medallion two more times, giving you a total of three custom fast-travel points. These fast-travel points can be placed anywhere in the overworld, even in the Depths.

When you place the Travel Medallion, you can remove your previously-set fast-travel point by selecting it in the Key Items menu and clicking Collect.

This will bring up your Map and you can choose which ones to remove.

To upgrade the medallion, Robbie asks you to give him ten map-data locations and return to him. When Robbie says map-data locations, he's referring to activating Skyview Towers.

This means each time you reveal an area on the map will count towards it. Revealing and using all 15 Skyview Towers will let you upgrade the Travel Medallion again, giving it three charges.
