Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Shrine Locations Guide

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines present numerous challenges. Some will test your mettle in combat, while others can stump your brain due to puzzle mechanics. Here's our guide to help you with the Shrine locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrine locations

Shrine functions, rewards, and challenges

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines are akin to what you've seen before if you've played Breath of the Wild. They dot the entire countryside, and you can tackle them as you go along. They also act as fast travel points, speeding up the exploration. Moreover, you'll find Shrines in the Sky region, too. We also recommend getting the Purah Pad Sensor, since this will track and ping you whenever a Shrine is nearby.

Completing a Shrine challenge/task will net you a Blessing of Light. Once you have four of these orbs, you can talk to a Goddess Statue to choose a reward. You can pick either a single heart or a stamina segment.

Shrine challenges can be divided into the following categories:

• Puzzles - By far the most plentiful, these will make use of various Zonai Devices and abilities, as well as your wit and creativity, as you try to reach the end goal.
• Combat Training - These will teach you the basic mechanics. However, do take note that the open-world nature of the game means that you might only discover these mini-tutorials later.
• Proving Grounds - Link will have no armor or weapons, and you have to rely on the tools in the arena. You'll have to defeat the Constructs that are guarding the place.
• Rauru's Blessing - You only need to open the chest and claim the Blessing of Light.
• Shrine Quests - As you explore, you might find Shrine Quests that need to be completed. Only then will the Shrine itself actually spawn. That Shrine may have its own challenge, or just Rauru's Blessing for a quick reward. Some examples of Shrine Quest objectives include:
  
  • Sky Crystals - Bring the green crystal to the pedestal.
  • Time Trial - Pass through the green rings within the time limit.
  • Light and Mirror Puzzles - Use Zonai Mirrors to reflect the beam of light to the target.
  • Riddles - Hear a riddle about a Shrine's possible location.
  • Labyrinths - Some Shrines can only be found in the Surface and Sky Labyrinths, which are maze-like mini-dungeons.

Shrine maps: Surface World

For our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines guide, we've opted to divide the Surface World into north and south portions. However, due to the layout of the game world, we've categorized them per region.

We'll also add some general info on what you can expect in the Shrine itself. In some cases, due to the complexity or trickiness of puzzles, that Shrine may have its own guide.

Shrine maps: Sky World

For the Sky World, we've also divided them into north and south portions (with the Great Sky Island starting area belonging to the southern portion). Take note that you'll need to progress further in the campaign to access some areas. Likewise, we've further subdivided some of these based on related themes. For instance, we have a category for the Shrines that are unlocked as you're getting the Wingsuit.

North Sky World Shrine map

These are the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines in the northern portion of the Sky world.

South Sky World Shrine map

These are the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines in the southern portion of the Sky world.

Great Sky Island Shrines

There are four Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines to be discovered as you're exploring the Great Sky Island starting area. All of these teach you abilities that you'll use throughout the game.

Ukouh

• Location: Northern portion of the Great Sky Island.
• Objective: This is where you'll learn the Grab/Attach command for the Ultrahand.

In-Isa

• Objective: This is where you'll make use of the Rewind ability.

Wingsuit-related Shrines

There are three Shrines that are unlocked as you're doing the skydiving time trial challenges for the Wingsuit. Simply pass through all the rings during your practice runs, and their respective Shrines should appear.

Taunhiy

• Location: Courage Island - Tabantha Sky Archipelago.
• Objective: Combat Training - You'll learn about aiming with your bow while in mid-air to slow down time.

Simosiwak

• Location: Bravery Island - North Hyrule Sky Archipelago.

Sihajog

• Location: Valor Island - South Lanaryu Sky Archipelago.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Sky Crystal Beam-related Shrines

These Shrines will only be formed after you bring the green crystal in the distance. The beam will let you know the general location, but you need to think of ways to return it to the target area.

Ganos

• Location: Tabantha Sky Crystal - The crystal can be pulled away from a Flux Construct.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Gikaku

• Location: Found in the northeastern portion of the map; reachable via the Natak Shrine - Use devices/vehicles to reach the crystal at the topmost island, then drop it all the way down below.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Jinodok

• Location: South Hyrule Sky Archipelago - Rotate the control device to form a bridge across the floating islands, then bring the crystal back to the pedestal.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Josiu

• Location: North Necluda Sky Crystal - The two floating islands are separated by a huge gap. You can think of contraptions, such as several boards that are attached together, or a rocket-powered platform, so you can bring the crystal to the other side.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Kumamayn

• Location: East Necluda Sky Archipelago - Once you reach the crystal, you can use the spring contraption on a nearby island to bounce it back to the pedestal.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Mayam

• Location: North Hyrule Sky Crystal - The crystal can be pulled out of a Flux Construct.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Mayanas

• Location: South Lanayru Sky Crystal - The crystal is on another floating island that's high up. Use Ascend or a Zonai Device to get up higher, then bring it back to the pedestal. Just watch out for Construct Archers that are nearby.
• Objective: The goal is to use the Frost Emitter to create ice blocks, allowing you to pick up other items or slide the ice blocks/plates to the target. For the last puzzle section, you can attach the metal and ice plates in an angular formation so as to force the thing to slide sideways. Alternatively, just connect a lot of ice blocks, along with the plate, then drop it down to the target.

Natak

• Location: Sokkala Sky Archipelago - The crystal is inside the "Death Star" in this area. Get inside it, then grab the machine controls so it can be rotated. Make sure that the opening is facing the direction of the pedestal. You can use the Spring contraption to pop that crystal out of the hole.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Ukoojisi

• Location: West Necluda Sky Archipelago - The push-booster near the pedestal will let you reach the underside of the floating island, and you can Ascend from there. Create a makeshift plane so you can bring the crystal back to that spot.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Light Puzzle Shrines

As you explore the Sky World, you'll find more Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines. However, you have to solve the Light Puzzles in those areas. These are done by reflecting the beams with Zonai Mirrors until the way is open.

Ga-Ahisas

• Location: Lightcast Island (Tabantha Sky Archipelago) - Use the beam from the tower so that it passes all the way through the cavern below.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

Mayasiar

• Location: Starview Island (North Gerudo Sky Archipelago) - This requires you to reach the "Death Star" (i.e. a gigantic orb in the sky). Inside, you'll redirect the beam to hit the target.
• Objective: Rauru's Blessing.

General Shrines

These other Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrines are found in the Sky World. There are no specific puzzle requirements to unlock them. However, in some cases, you do need to progress a bit further in the campaign (i.e. regional main quests) just to gain access to these locations.

Igoshon

• Location: Lanayru Wellspring Island - Found as you're going through the main quest in Lanayru.
• Objective: Use water orbs to rise up further, then dash and glide to the next one. You may also use Ultrahand to grab and reposition orbs.

Yansamin

• Location: Lanayru Sky/Zonaite Forge Island - This is the tall island in this region, one that has several circular protrusions. To reach it, wear Zora Armor and swim-climb up the "sky waterfall" in Lanayru. From there, ride a rocket-powered Hover Block. On the island itself, interact with the terminal to activate updrafts/wind currents. Once you get to the top, you'll have to skydive through the center pit, all while avoiding lasers.
• Objective: Proving Grounds (Low Gravity) - You'll have to eliminate all the Construct enemies while the low gravity effect is active.
