How to find every shrine

Climb the Sheikah Towers

Each tower reveals its region's map, and shrines glow orange from the top.

Use the Sheikah Sensor

Once Impa's quest gives you the sensor, it pings when a shrine is nearby.

Look for the orange glow

Undiscovered shrines glow orange and turn blue once you have finished them.

Use the scope

From a tower, use the Sheikah Slate's scope and drop pins on every glowing shrine you can see.

Talk to travelers

Many shrine quests start with an NPC hint or a song from the bard Kass.

Check the DLC

The Champions' Ballad adds 16 more shrines tied to the One-Hit Obliterator.

FAQ

Breath of the Wild shrine questions

How many shrines are in Breath of the Wild?

There are 120 shrines in the base game, plus 16 more in the Champions’ Ballad DLC.

A mix works best. Extra stamina helps you climb and glide further, while hearts keep you alive in fights. You can swap them later at the Horned Statue in Hateno Village.

The Tunic of the Wild armor set, waiting in a chest at the Shrine of Resurrection on the Great Plateau.

A combat shrine where you fight a Guardian Scout. They come in minor, modest and major versions with tougher Guardians.

Talk to Impa in Kakariko Village during the main quest. The sensor then helps you find shrines you have not discovered.
