Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Great Sky Island Shrine Locations
This is the starting island in the sky and you need to complete all four shrines to progress further. Each of the shrines here provides you with a new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom ability. After the first Ukouh shrine you can head straight for the cold region to the southeast. Other path is to the southwest, across the lake. Either way you’ll need to get some cold resistance food to progress. Getting all four shrines will unlock the secrets of the Temple of Time and introduce you to the new mechanics of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Zelda TOTK Central Hyrule Shrine Locations
Once you finally reach the ground you’ll be in the familiar surroundings of Central Hyrule. Make your way to Lookout Landing to continue the main quest and it will lead you all over this zone. Along the way visit shrines because they are mostly tutorial ones and with easy Lights of Blessing for the taking. Still, Central Hyrule is home to many Zelda Tears of the Kingdom shrine locations and deserves thorough exploration.
- Kyononis – Combat Training – You’ll probably find this shrine as you are doing the first main quest for Purah. It teaches you some combat basics.like side hop, backflip, perfect guard (parry) and charged attacks. You have to complete all of these moves to damage the warrior construct.

- Tsutsu-um – The Stakes Guide You – You’ll learn how to use the Stakes Zonai device. You have to place them into the walls at just the right position to reach the chest and have the ball fall into the switch. Great spot for traveling quickly to Outskirt Stable.
- Kamizun – Proving Grounds: Beginner – This is one of the first shrines that takes all your equipment away and you have to defeat enemies using your abilities and what little decayed weapons they have for you.
- Yamiyo – Combat Training:Throwing – Tutorial shrine on how to throw materials quickly at enemies and the surroundings. You have to do what the game tells you to successfully defeat the enemy. Your other attacks are ineffective here. Use the provided Fire Fruit for a quick Light of Blessing.

Then as the cog turns it will lift the big platform and the concrete rod will push the smaller platform to shrine completion level. Ascend into the platform to get there yourself. To get the chest you need to use all thre concrete rods to make a pole you can climb up to the chest. Use Recall on the rotating cog to keep the door open.
