Zelda Breath of the Wild – How to Get Chests Out of the Water

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

Sometimes I come across chests that are far in the water. Not on the ground of the water, just very far away from land. If it would be an iron chest I could just use the magnet ability to get it, but this does not work with wooden chests. The only way I was able to get the chests was to repeatedly swim against the chest, but this only moves it extremely slow. Is there any trick to get wooden chest out of the water?

If a chest is wooden, far out into a body of water or both you can use the Cryonis rune to raise chests out of the water. Aim the rune right underneath the chest then jump onto or climb onto your cryonis pillar. If the chest is far out into the water and you can't cast your rune due to the fact you're swimming just build of chain of cryonis pillars to the chest then raise a pillar underneath it.
