On this page we give you an overview of all the shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom , which are located on the Great Sky Island. You visit the first three shrines during the main task “The Closed Door”. In them you get the Ultrahand, the Fuse and the Ascend. The Nachoyah Shrine will only become accessible after you return to the Temple of Time.
The following shrines are located on Great Sky Island:
Ukouh Shrine
Exam: Creativity
Reward: Ultrahand, Amber and a Light of Blessing
Location: Northern part of the Great Sky Island
coordinates: approximately 0274, -0913, 1460
Find Ukouh Shrine
The Ukouh Shrine is the first shrine you should visit after visiting the Temple of Time. Run west from the temple and follow Rauru’s clues to the green glowing shrine platform.
Solve Ukouh Shrine
After entering you will receive the Ultrahand. Axyl up the single stone slab and place it as a bridge over the first gap. In the next section, you connect two plates at their narrow ends to form a longer bridge.
For the Treasure Chest, lean the two connected plates against the raised projection as a ramp. Climb up and open the chest with the amber.
In the last section there are wooden panels and large metal hooks. Attach a hook upright to a wooden board and hang it over the rail. Stand on the slab and let it carry you over the abyss. At the end you will reach the altar and receive your first Light of Blessing.
In-isa Shrine
Test: combination
Reward: Fuse, 5 wooden arrows and a Light of Blessing
Location: Southwestern part of the Great Sky Island
coordinates: approximately 0027, -1503, 1408
Find In-isa Shrine
The In-isa Shrine is located southwest of the Temple of Time. You can cross the large lake with a self-made raft. To do this, attach a sail or a fan to several connected tree trunks.
Solve In-isa Shrine
In the shrine you will receive the Fuse ability. Connect the rusty two-handed sword to a rock and use it to destroy the brittle stone wall.
In the next room, smash the left stone pillar. The Treasure Chest standing on it falls down and contains five wooden arrows.
Collect Fire Fruit in the right side room. Combine a fire fruit with an arrow and shoot the dry vines below the chest hanging on the wall. Open the fallen chest and take the Small Key.
An elite construct awaits behind the locked door. Ignite the dry leaves on the ground with a fire fruit or use your newly built hammer weapon. After the fight, the path to the altar is clear.
Gutanbac Shrine
Exam: advancement
Reward: Ascend, Stone Ax and a Light of Blessing
Location: Snow-covered east of the Great Sky Island
coordinates: approximately 0709, -1381, 1584
Find Gutanbac Shrine
The Gutanbac Shrine stands high in the snowy east of the island. Prepare a dish of hot peppers at a cooking area or have a lit torch or weapon attached to a Rupee ready.
Follow the mountain paths, cross the river with a raft and climb to the shrine platform on the right side of the frozen waterfall.
Solve Gutanbac Shrine
After entering you will receive the Ascend. Stand under the first stone overhang and activate the ability to go up through the ceiling.
In the following area there are two tall pillars. Use the Ascend under the left pillar to reach the Treasure Chest with the stone axe. You can continue via the right pillar.
Defeat the construct and then cut the two ropes on which a stone slab is hanging. Stand under the fallen plate and jump through with the Ascend.
Finally, wait until the green platform is above you. Jump through them and use the Ascend again under the solid ceiling. The altar waits above.
Nachoyah Shrine
Test: Reversal
Reward: 10 wooden arrows and a Light of Blessing
Location: Room of Awakening, above the southern island area
coordinates: approximately 0388, -1660, 2299
Find Nachoyah Shrine
After completing the first three shrines, open the large door in the Temple of Time and receive the Recall. Use the Recall on the waterwheels and then fast travel back to the Room of Awakening. There you can use the rotating wheels to get into the cave behind it.
Solve Nachoyah Shrine
Get on a raft in the first room and activate the Recall. The raft travels against the current to the opposite side.
Wait at the waterfall until another raft falls down. Use the Recall on it and ride it up the waterfall.
For the Treasure Chest, reverse the direction of rotation of the large gear. Ride up on a tooth and open the chest with ten wooden arrows.
Two large hands rotate in front of the exit. Wait until both are on top of each other, then activate the Recall on one of the hands. Since both of them are now moving together, the gate remains open and you can walk to the altar.
