There’s so much to explore in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and such exploration is made much easier with some of the Sky Islands’ Shrines. So, here’s how to find them and what they do.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an unbelievably expansive game, with the likes of Sky Islands, Hyrule, and the Depths to explore. However, thanks to such a large map, getting around or even upgrading your Stamina Vessels can be tricky.

What are Sky Island Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom?

Shrines are extremely useful in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and should be accessed whenever you come across one or whenever you fancy searching.

Just like regular Shrines, the Sky Islands also feature them. It’s here where you can solve puzzles, fight Zonai Constructs, and gain Light of Blessings, which will be the primary material to update your Heart Container and Stamina Vessels.

On top of this, once discovered, you can fast travel to their location meaning the more you find, the easier it is to traverse the Sky Islands.

The Great Sky Island has tons of Shrines to find, and a more detailed map is below. Other than that, head over to the North Necluda and South Lanayru for a Shrine each. Then we recommend heading west straight to Great Sky Island for Shrines galore.

South Hyrule has one shrine on its island but Great Sky Island has four, with one on the north, east, south, and west side of the island. Getting hold of these makes this island so much easier to traverse in the long run.
