The 7 Best & Worst Shrines in Totk (in my opinion) 

My favorite shrine (so far) is Proving Grounds: The Hunt (the roomba shrine). I just love making murder roombas :) . I also really like the jenga shrine (the courage to pluck).

For A Precise Strike you can cheese it using Recall to stop the ball which imo made the shrine a whole ton more bearable

I actually really liked the alignment of circles shrine, it reminded me of the botw constellation shrine and made me actually think

One of my favourite shrines is Unlit Blessing, seeing as how there's a LOT of regular blessing shrines, so it was a surprise when I found it

I didn't finish all of the shrines, but my least favorite among those I did was easily Courage to Fall. In retrospect the hint feels pretty obvious but I was scouring every wall of the map, the actual solution feels so counter-intuitive not only in context of how lasers are used elsewhere in this game, but many other games too.

How the hell do my shorts have more views then this!! This is such good quality Vasco deserves 10mil subs

I forgot what its called but theres a shrine all the way up north near akkala and that labyrinth where it gives you a race car track and you just drive around. That was my favorite. Any of the shrines involving vehicles are the best

My personal favorite so far is the Jenga shrine. I went into it and went "since when did shrines have actually unique themes?"

for the aligned circles shrine, i actually got the clue to look upward since the torches are mirrored upwards and downwards, which made me think there was something getting mirrored. along with that, i actually got to the force transfer after doing the spirit temple, and the way one of the doors there works made me think about that one. good video!

Honestly was sorta let down with the shrines in totk compared to botw. However i did love how you could think outside the box on some.

I, too, wished for more blessing shines to be like the Unlit blessing, that one was a cool subversion of expectations. I actually completed "the right roll" fairly quickly, then I loaded a save to experiment with something before I collected the blessing. I then realized the save I made where I'd completed it didn't work and had to struggle through completing it again.

I think that shrine with jenga minigame should be in the honorable mentions. It can be a bit frustrating to figure it out, but it is a fun idea for a shrine.

Drifting flame solution is actually pretty clever if you ask me. The wall is just at the right height that if you aim with a bow just above the wall in the direction of the torch’s you will light them every time. It teaches you about arrow arching.

For drifting flame I grabbed the torch from the room before and set it ontop of the button with the little fire thing so that the button would go down and I could just walk out and shoot the things with firefruit

My favorite shrine was “Proving Grounds: The Hunt” which was my first encounter with the ROOMBAS and they are my absolute favorite Zonai Device

This video is so good!

Ok the right roll is fr a good shrine. It does a good job at teaching you how weight affects the directional movement of the rolling balls. Personally mogisari is my favorite shrine, and I also love Mayausiy and Sahirow

Its funny because i feel compwred to botw there's less shrines that felt like filler. My favorite shrines were the proving ground shrines but the roomba one was my favorite. It made me realise how crazy you can pimp out your own little monster destroying death bot. I adore fusing a construct head with canons and lazer beams and just sending it into a monster camp so i can save on weapon durability. I also enjoyed the courage to jump. I kinda agree i wish there were more shrines purely to showcase just how fun zonai vehicles are. For the rauru's blessing shrines. I feel alot of people miss the point of these shrines but with that said there are some that genuinely surprised me as i didnt even realise i solved a puzzle like the one in the gerudo highlands near the white-maned lynel, unless the lynel was the puzzle lol.

I love the airport shrine. It's giving me waking up at 4am for flight schedule vibes.

I really liked the right roll, just not the last part. I tried so many combinations with the balls and ended up getting annoyed, fusing the big one to a weapon and throwing it purely out of frustration. And I was surprised when it worked! So it was still worth it since I had that moment of accidentally finding a different solution

7:53 I also had this problem, so i tried to make a long pole using the things in the shrine and used recall to poke the button using the pole and it worked.

When I finished proving grounds: vehicles, I texted everyone I knew who was playing the game and told them to go to it because it was so much fun

Omg for the brdging the sands shrine, i could not have cheesed it more. Using the fans and steering stick, i just made a hover bike that allowed me to go anywhere without dealing with the sand And as a bonus, this shrine is one of the biggest open roomed shrine, which made it really fun to fly around without worrying about battery life

As someone who did all of them, I have to say that one sneakstrike tutorial one was super annoying, the construct would always notice you, and you would have to deal with the game pretty much saying 'you suck try again' with that unskippable text, that shrine had me on nerves end.

For the Drifting Flames shrine, I realized I could drop a weapon to activate the button, so I mixed ultrahand and recall to get my weapon in the button when I was on the side of the candle, and them used arrows on fire (not fire arrows) to light the other candles. And then I collected my weapon

For bridging the sands, when it launched the ball I just used rewind. I felt kinda bad about circumventing the shrine so I sledded to where I WOULD’VE needed to go just to do it.

in force transfer ( 3:43 ) i just glued one of the stone pillars to the top platform and climbed it to finish

I wish there were a few motion control shrines

With drifting Flame, i think theres a barrel new the door in the 2nd room (or i used a weapon i cant remember) to put the button down,

5:45 actual skill issue. I can't believe people had trouble with what is literally making a cog.

4:00 you can connect the beam to both gears, it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure that out

Hopefully somebody tells him he could use bomb flowers on those activation shrine

“A reflective device” shrine was actually my second to last shrine 😂

I love the whole shrine concept more than having big dungeons. I loved them in botw and even more in totk. I also liked the blessing shrines if I already did a whole puzzle to get to the shrine. I saved all the survival shrines until I got over 25 hearts - didn’t even attempt them earlier, as I loathed the island in botw that robs you of all gear.

Shrine might have been designed to test the hero skill but not all test were made the same. I have yet to play tears but as they say information is power and I want to be brought to tears taking some of these on.

I didn't know that's what you had to do in the force transfer Shrine If I remember correctly what I did was when I was in the second room I ascended through the long platform then use ultrahand to boost the next platform up then ascend through it and recall it

On the drifting flames shrine i put down 10 apples to weigh the pressure plate enough then bomb sheulded to the other side and use the fire arrows to beat it and then got my apples back lol

i quite liked the blessing shrines because they actually made you do puzzles *outside* of the world in most cases, which. are more interesting than more shrines. im not exactly a shrine hater but i am also a bit tired of bite-sized-puzzle-worlds that are magical and disconnected from the outside world alignment of the circles was like. i get what it was trying, and i understand why it had a big staircase. to try and make you look up. but it took me several minutes of confusion to notice the circles on the ceiling despite that

At least none of the shrines required a Blood Moon. I hated activating that. I only used the mirror for certain shrines and sidequests. I actually noticed the symbols on the ceiling. 2:22 I put a rocket on my spear. You used a protractor in this game? I don't remember if I had that much issue with this shrine. I probably would remember if I did. 6:44 I think I had to look this up because I did not realize there were torches here. 7:52 Bomb arrows make this shrine much easier. I wish I knew this before since I had to look up how to do this one. 8:09 I had some trouble with this one. I probably could have done a better job here. 8:49 I really wish I used the vehicle in the center of the room but I did not find out how to reach it until I after I finished it.

I'm nowhere near completing all the shrines, but the hunt is one of my favourites to be honest Probably died there the most of any shrines but enjoyed every second of it, every death got me to rethink how I used the roomas and it was super satisfying when I finally beat it.

The Shrines in TOTK were such a Upgrade!

i thought the courage to jump was maybe my favorite in the game, although i was really tickled by unlit blessing. and i weirdly liked the right roll, it was frustrating but i felt like i learned something when i finally got it

ooo! an inkling oc! im now interested!

5:14 I dropped pumpkins on the button then used fire arrows, was pretty proud of that solution even if wand of sparking did it in a botw video.

My current favorite shrine was courage to fall it’s like you have no idea what to do until you remember the name

5:04 You're supposed to put the candle on the ground, and lowering and then raising the floor causes it to jump up and light the torches which have lowered enough for the candle to reach them when jumping. You don't need to use recall or arrows. I agree it was pretty confusing.

Vasko, for drifting flames you probably had to recall the button to hold it down long enough so you could move the flame like the previous room.

I'm pretty amazing at video games and also very smart, so if i can't figure out what to do for a shrine in .02 seconds, that's a bad shrine 💅

For force transfer, I got the stick from the first room into the second room with recall, making it a bit easier.( my dad needed to tell me how lol)

On Drifting Flame, I used Recall to light all 3 torches. That shrine was a mayor head scratcher

I agree with your best and worst shrine picks. I think the 3 balls shrine is the only one time I gave up on trying to find the real solution (and maybe the candle one) and used a bomb to push the button. Overall the shrines in this game were pretty good, but there were a bit too many Rauru's blessings.

For the torch lighting shrine, I just held down the button with recall and used the candle to shoot fire arrows

I really enjoy the Proving Grounds shrines

I had already had a long play session the day I did Bridging the Sands, so i just recalled the ball

Just glad you didn't positively mention Well Timed Bounce or that stupid scooping one in Hateno. Those were my two least favorite shrines by a longshot.

Funny story: I didn’t understand in the proving grounds, the hunt shrine that the point is to use the little dog monster targeter, so I went through the hole shrine by force and using only my weapons and I died so many times I almost gave up just to get max hearts come back and kill them all with some kind of mass destruction weapon ( I didn’t know I couldn’t use zonai devices from my inventory then)

The Right Roll shrine, I didn't even attempt to do it their way. I fired bomb arrows at the targets and they did the trick.

Good vid

In bridging the sands when it shot the ball to the other side I quickly used rewind and had to do nothing so not as bad now.

I used recall to adjust the perfect strike minigolf shrine- if it overshot, half a second of recall stops the momentum

I completed the forward force shrine by turning the first car into a tower that I put the ball ontop of. First thing that came to my mind

On the right roll I just picked up the biggest one with ultrahand and dropped it over top the button at the end.

I did figure out forward force 🙋 It was pretty satisfying

Oh I liked forward force! I didn’t have too much trouble with it

im ngl i somehow brute forced the alignment of circles shrine in a couple minutes somehow and didnt even notice the circles on the roof lol. fr when i did i was like "wtf how did i do that".

Not enough puzzle shrines in this game I miss the real challenge here. Down to finding my last remaining shrines by looking at what is above the light roots. Seems the majority of shrines in this game are either walk up a set of steps and collect the stupid orb or they stuff you into what looks like Nike or Under Armor athletic shorts, for what reason I do now know as they just do not fit into the style of clothing used in this game's theme at all. Then they have you dismantle a bunch of robots while wearing those shorts. I think if they wanted it to represent a bare minimum an ancient looking Zonai Loincloth would have been a better representation and at least add a variety of different enemy types other then these same constructs for every single proving grounds shrine. Killing these same robots over and over again is not a challenge "though tedious" because there are too many shrines of the same type just as the blessing ones, but not a challenge even while you are only wearing those Nike shorts. A good challenge variety would of been a Gloom hands fight with only shrine provided materials allowed to be used for example. Meaning you can't cheese that Gloom Hands and Phamtom by stacking Shard of Naydra's and dinraal's Spikes.

having done all the shrines too, I completely agree with all the worst ones, especially number one, ended up using a bomb arrow for it lol personal favorite is courage to jump, you go zoom zoom

I love bad shrines because instead of having me rage, they have me wonder "how can i be smarter than the game" except the devs knew i could do it all along.

5:44 yeah I just used recall to lift it up and skip the lava pool and the rest of it entirely

1:20 mirror shields can be pretty busted sometimes, not the most consistent.

2:36 when the ball is too up recall and stop recall so that the ball stops moving then it fells into the hole

with forward force i just disassembled the car and used ultrahand to get the ball up to where it was needed.

2:50 me personally i never had any issues with these types of shrines in both totk and botw, u just gotta get the angle right

I will never forgive you for calling the fire fruit fire flower

a fixed device was pretty fun, i just sticked 2 sticks on the thing and let it fly frickin' everywhere

Who's gonna tell Vasko that he can use bomb flowers fused to an arrow to trigger the targets

There's a way to cheese those shrines with the giant buttons, just fuse a bomb flower to your arrow, or simply throw it at the target, which saved me a lot of pain on shrines like The Ice Guides You. Thank me later.

You said Courage to Jump and I instantly like you

My favorite shrine is the courge to jump but not because of the same thing it's because I used my icy meat shield and used the low gravity to skip the entire thing and I felt cool because of it

Courage to Fall was the best shrine of all time. It was like mario kart and i loved it

In the forward force, i just disassemble the car and make a tower then pick it up on the top of the stairs. Screw that obstacle course

What does a cat have to do with the cold side of a pillow?

I loved the bit were he said link had 3 apples he used 1 to find a korok and so on

About forward force shrine, i skipped it by sticking the car and a ball to each other, then I went up thanks to ladder it's possible, and done, i took the ball

when you said worst shrine my mind immediatley went to the ball shrine too! I hate that so much I looked up a tutorial and the tutorial was incosistent. I 100%agree that that is the worst shrine.

In Proving Grounds: Vehicles, you don't need to use any vehicles. All you need is the beam emitter near the right wall.

How to do the mirror one

So basically if the puzzle is even a little bit unique or complicated this guys hates it

For the ice guide one I just used bombs to activate the button things

On the last shrine: the balls can't trigger the target while held in ultrahand. Use recall, and that anti-trigger dissapears.

to be honest when i did a fixed device i didn't know how the switches in shrines worked so i cheesed it with a bomb arrow

3:50 Wait, I was supposed to turn the gear to make the platform rise? I just ascended the whole way

I love your channel

5:20 put down something heavy on the pressure plate and it will lower everything

I guess I get the frustration with the target press shrines but I wanted nothing to do with them. I cheated. If you have bomb arrows the pressure emitted from them striking the target satisfies it. So if I saw I had to deal with BS I just shot the target with a bomb arrow. The bat shrine if I had known it at the time - it was my earliest target shrine I'd have just shot them with bombs.

The golfing one is real easy if you overshoot, just use recall

I really hate just all the blessing shrines, I get the whole idea is that the challenge is actually getting to the shrines but in a game like totk where you can get anywhere extremely easy they just don’t feel very interesting, especially when a lot of blessing shrines feel like you get them for something that isn’t very hard and normal shrines are given for things that do legitimately feel like you should get a blessing for instead of a normal shrine

I didn't even know that's what you had to do for force transfer I just did what you did immediately

Hi I love ❤ your vids also more Pokémon please

5:17 I just put the candlestick on the button with a shield and shot with fire arrows
