The Shrine is relatively easy to find when you’ve reaches the Hyrule Fields Skyview Tower.

The Mayanchin Shrine can be found just below Central Hyrule, south of the Hyrule Fields, and just above the Hyrule Fields Skyview Tower.

We recommend heading to the Skyview Tower first and then heading over to the Mayachin Shrine, but the choice is up to you.
