The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers players a vast world to explore and adventure. Much like the previous title, Breath of the Wild, TotK shares some common elements with its predecessor. One of these common elements is the puzzle and combat-filled shrines — these Zelda Shrines function like miniature dungeons with small quests to complete.
Tears of the Kingdom shrines are all about puzzles to complete and enemies to defeat. Since the game has a highly diverse and gigantic map to explore, it is inevitable for the game to have numerous shrines.
How Many Shrines are There in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
Many are wondering about the use and number of shrines in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. While the Zelda Shrines offers items like Treasure Chests and Lights of Blessing, they also work as instant travel points.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players have two territories to survey: the Hyrule Kingdom and Sky Island. There are 152 shrines to discover. The number of shrines on the Hyrule ground map is 120; meanwhile, 32 shrines reside in the sky islands.
That said, many players are looking for ways to search for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's shrines. Unfortunately, there is no specific way of locating the shrines in the latest title; all players need to do is search through the map. Since the shrines emit green light, gamers must find the glow from a higher location. Players can use the Purah Pad to explore the map and search for these shrines.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fans can get the Purah Pad through the main quest, “Find Princess Zelda.” The item is also upgradable by completing certain quests.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
