Zonai Ruin
Zonai Ruins are a recurring type of location in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Features and Overview
Breath of the Wild
Zonai Ruins are the overgrown remains of Zonai civilization from an unknown era.[3] They are present all throughout Hyrule Kingdom, though they are most concentrated in the Faron Grasslands and the southern portion of Necluda. However, several Ruins are also present in Akkala, Central Hyrule, Gerudo, and Hebra. Several of these Ruins have been built in conjunction with Ancient Hylian Ruins, such as the Spring of Courage, or Ancient Shrines created by the Sheikah.[3] Their architecture features a distinct swirl pattern, which is emblematic of the Zonai themselves.[3] Many Zonai Ruin statues depict Dragons, owls, and Boars.
The most prevalent type of Zonai Ruins are Zonai Towers, spreading as far north as Central Hyrule and Hebra. Though their purpose is unknown, rumors state that the Zonai may have used them for magic.[3]
In southern Necluda, several of the Stone Statues that mark Offering Spots are replaced by Zonai Ruin statues.

One last thing! Have you already seen the Zonai ruins at Digdogg Bridge? You can get there by heading west down this road to a three-way intersection, then turning south. I've heard that the Zonai ruins that showed up there are the biggest in the world. Well, I thought it sounded interesting. If you haven't seen 'em yet, you should take a look.
