How to Find New Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom
The lands and skies of Tear of Kingdom’s Hyrule are filled with Shrines to locate and explore. To find more of them, we’ve found that it’s best to use a Skyview Tower to launch Link into the air and look around to see if there are any of the telltale glowing lights in the distance. If there are, we use the Purah Pad to tag them to fast-travel as close as possible and hunt them down.Unlocking the Shrine Sensorby fixing Robbie’s hot air balloon is a great early-game task for players who want to hunt down as many Shrines as possible.
It’s also worth talking to the NPCs Link encounters around Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Some will mention Shrines around the world and point them out to Link as he adventures across the lands. This can lead players to Shrines they’d have never discovered otherwise.
How to Prepare Before Entering a Shrine
If a Shrine requires Link to use a weapon, then one can be found inside. There’s nothing much players need to do to prepare for entering Shrines other than give Link the best armor possible and try to have some powerful weapons in case there are a lot of enemies inside. Some Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom will remove all of Link’s gear. No amount of preparation will help with this other than making him eat some food ordrink an Elixirthat will boost his defense, stamina, or some other boost.
And that’s it! Check out our other The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom guides below to help with crafting, exploring, and tackling challenges across Hyrule.
