The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom <\/em>is bigger than Breath of the Wild <\/em>in many ways, including the sheer size of its map and the areas players can explore. With more map space, there’s more room for Shrines to pair with the game\u2019s other returning features. But how many Shrines are there in Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>, exactly?<\/p>
As you explore Hyrule and the Sky Islands, locating and beating Shrines will become another part of your journey. Shrines serve the same purpose in TotK <\/em>as they did in BotW<\/em>, acting as trials to test the player on their way to empowering Link throughout the game and creating fast travel spots on the map. This is something that, while not required, will make some challenges in the game easier since they help you master your abilities and give Link upgrades. <\/p>
Each Shrine has a puzzle of sorts inside that needs to be solved\u2014most of the time through the use of an ability or skill Link has learned by the time he reaches that trial. They also typically contain special rewards that players can get during the challenges too, whether that be through finding chests or defeating enemies. <\/p>
TotK <\/em>has more Shrines to tackle than its predecessor, which means more challenges, rewards, and exploring for anyone who picks up the game. <\/p>
Here’s exactly how many Shrines you can find in TotK.<\/em><\/p>
