Tears of the Kingdom: 10 Hidden Shrines You Missed

With over 150 shrines scattered across Hyrule, it's easy to miss a few. Some are tucked away in caves, others require specific quests, and a few are hidden in plain sight. Here are 10 shrines you might have overlooked, along with how to find and complete them.

1. Sinakawak Shrine (The Courage to Fall)

This shrine is inside the Great Plateau's cave system, accessible by a hole near the Temple of Time. Use Ultrahand to create a bridge over the gap. The shrine's challenge is a simple combat trial against a Soldier Construct.

2. Mayachin Shrine (A Gift of Light)

Located in the depths beneath the Great Forest, this shrine requires you to light four torches in a specific order. Look for the pattern on the wall. Once lit, the shrine emerges from the ground.

3. Kurakatun Shrine (The Prophecy of the Dragon's Tear)

Found in a cave behind a waterfall at Ulri Mountain, this shrine is only accessible after completing the related shrine quest. Solve the block puzzle by moving the stone blocks to match the pattern above.

4. Tawaki Shrine (The Loaded Question)

This shrine is hidden in a hollow tree trunk in the Great Hyrule Forest. Use a Korok Leaf to blow away the leaves covering the entrance. The puzzle involves using hydrants to guide water into a basin.

5. Kohamit Shrine (The Right Way)

Located in the Gerudo Desert's underground ruins, you need to use your simple ability to create a light orb that follows a path. Guide the orb through the maze by tilting the floor with your Purah Pad.

6. Ukooji Shrine (The Switch of Time)

8. Kautu Shrine (The Crystal of the Sun)

Hidden in the caves of the Lanayru Great Spring, this shrine requires you to bring a glowing crystal from the cave entrance to the pedestal before the time limit expires. Use Zonai devices like carts to speed up the process.

9. Makatash Shrine (The Influence of the Moon)

In the Hebra Mountains, this shrine is buried under a pile of snow. Melt the snow with a fire fruit. Inside, you must use a mirror to reflect moonlight onto a crystal.

10. Rutafu Shrine (The Final Trial)

Located in the Depths below Hyrule Castle, this shrine is only accessible after completing all other shrines in the region. It's a combat gauntlet against multiple Lynels. Use your best weapons and strategies.
