Ranking All 152 Shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Edit: MINOR CORRECTIONS: I pronounced hebra wrong also I said chillfin trout make food to prevent freezing when it doesn’t. Nothing major but thought I should fix that 🔥 Just a minor note, I’m having a bit of trouble getting the big play through video up on the second channel, so that will come at a later date.

You should rank every level in super Mario world, that would be cool

[@garrettattaway418]

Not going to lie, I legitimately thought that your #1 pick would place dead last, as it is literally placed on the required route to reach the wind temple, and is a blessing, but I never considered the climb to the wind temple as part of the shrine.

[@Odyssey_Central]

I definitely understand that, I think it’s just a difference in philosophy though. If you completely ignore the climb up then it sucks, but since I feel like it’s part of the shrines challenge, I like it a lot

Don't feel bad fam, we will push each other to be the best content creators we can both be 🤝 I'll skip out on watching this video for now until I've finished mine so that I can keep to my own ranking 100% un-influenced. Also considering these circumstances I think you're gonna find something I say in my Shrine video pretty ironic (hint; it involves you :))

Coming back to this after finally finishing my ranking and I knew our lists would be different but WOW I didn't think they would be *this* different lmao, it's like we played entirely different games. Great vid OC ‼ can't wait to accidentally make the all Korok seeds ranking at the same time as yours

[@leffeup8117]

Personnaly, it think the courage to fall shrine was one of the few shrines that actually felt like a puzzle instead of a sandbox challenge. The name gives you a clue to the solution, and if logically figure it out, all of the laser emitters make you fall below the floor, and you have to get below the floor to find the chest.

[@poke_onix9235]

I spent about 5 minutes trying to think of where it could be, and felt SUPER smart when I read the name of the shrine and figured it out. One of my favorite moments in the game lol.

[@elpaka7654]

That one is for sure in my personal Top 10

[@jamescarwin8968]

Agreed

[@cato3277]

Courage to Fall is genuinely one of the best shrines in the game. I heard people complain about the concept, but the puzzle is MEANT to challenge you! People don't know what they want.

[@kawee1]

Absolutely. It's definitely my favorite shrine in the entire game. I felt so smart when i figured the gimmick out and it actually feels like a miniature dungeon.

[@SxctorDotC]

Personally, I think the Proving Grounds: Vehicles shrine is genuinely the best shrine in the game. I've never replayed any other shrine as much as that one, and its just so fun using the vehicles to destroy all the enemies.

Courage to fall is so cool imo, it’s literally a prison break for the orb. You sneak past traps, defeat guards, and even fly the orb out in a freaking plane. How can you not think that’s cool

[@azfaarrealm9426]

I agree. While the puzzle is a bit hard to figure out (I even solved it on accident), once you solve it, i's immensely satisfying and fun.

[@thecatinthehat125]

40:41 By the way, there are a bunch of weapons to attach to your cars in the shrine, such as fire emitters, shock emitters, beam emitters, and more cars. This was actually one of my personal favourite shrines, and you probably would like it more if you knew this.

[@Odyssey_Central]

I can definitely understand why others would enjoy the shrine more, personally I still prefer just having the normal combat though

[@pokedude720]

The problem is, is that said emitters are guarded by the constructs so you'd likely just find them after the constructs get chipped down I will admit it is a nice place to restock on said emitters as fuses once you have your normal gear back.

[@nicholasho1595]

Sasan and Finley is actually better in TotK than BotW. In the original Japanese version, they were just pen pals, but some English translators had the bright idea of making it romantic since Finley, being a species with slow aging, is probably older than Sasan despite her size. TotK's English translation makes this closer to their pen pal relationship instead of the weird romantic one.

[@diadsalies]

The rumor blaming the english localizers for the weird romance angle between finley and sasan became overblown because of a youtube video that ironically misinterpreted the original japanese. The romantic implication was always there, ans the english localizers most likely were just trying to make it less weird without erasing the original intent by emphasizing the zora aging. This is straight from the youtuber who originally made that misguided video; they even released a correction video apologizing for the original video they made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4TMhoR-nbeYlassi=ngGn6essZxoYY7qt

[@CrowLady0_0]

pretty sure the guy that made that video had to make another video because he was wrong.

[@warinkitos]

On the against the flow shrine, I also had a great personal experience. For some reason, on this, and the other obsidian shrine, I had a joke with myself where I made bridges and I said “Me love bridges, me bridge lover.” I made bridges for every puzzle, including the last one even though I could see the fans for a way easier path. Also, since, for some reason, I thought this joke was very funny, so I even renamed my switch console in the settings to “Bridge Lover”

[@dogboyton3166]

Its stupid but my favorite shrine is the blessing that fakes you out and suddenly ascends upXD It surprised me and I thought it was pretty neat even though it was obvious what to do and it wasnt really a puzzle. Also i'm here from PJiggles Video! Might as well stay for more

[@onlookerofthings6029]

Something else that's really cool about the Yiga Blademaster shrine quest is that once you're actually inside, you can take the Yiga outfit off and the Blademaster inside won't attack you with some unique dialogue

[@gammaboy4568]

By the way, you can heat the frost talus to melt the ice and properly mount it-- similar to putting out igneo talus.

[@Silvershire]

If they were going to do tutorial shrines, they should have put them in much more obvious or story-related locations. I had already beaten the final boss by the time I encountered many of them, and I hadn't even been rushing through the game or anything like that.

1:35:11 "The gap is so much larger that we can't just construct a comically large bridge to get there." I purposefully solved this shrine by making a comically large bridge to get across.

[@Woedenaz]

Throughout my *entire* playthrough, I was never aware of the bomb cheese. So a good number of these I'd put a fair bit higher than you did. Still, very good list! Must have taken an absolute age to edit this.

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

#97 Proving Grounds: Flow Is my favorite of the Proving grounds though. You see, you don't actually swim to the rafts, but you use Ultrahands to let the contrusts Drown and short circuit in water. It's extremely fun and easy if you know this trick.

[@PaulFisher]

Yeah, seeing the constructs on the rafts and putting the pieces together of how they can’t swim was a satisfying little moment. So you get both the sadistic pleasure of watching the river riders drown, and there are some other land-bound constructs that you can experiment with, which gives the shrine some variety. That and the killdozer shrine both stood out among the Proving Grounds for me.

[@mercury2118]

I fused akk the rafts together to pull it out from under them

[@CalamitasCalliope]

24:35 when I first played the game I was making a point of ignoring the main quest so I didn't get the paraglider for awhile. I actually managed to complete the Rise and Fall shrine without it tho! I put the box provided by the puzzle on the edge of the launcher so it got launched at a forward angle, and I activated the button with the box from the previous room. Then I just had to make sure I had enough extra hearts to survive the fall damage

[@smr1518]

I haven't even watched this video yet, but all I'm gonna say, I love the shield tutorial shrine where you attached a rocket to it. So much fun that was.

[@-Hamza]

Congrats on 150K dude! Your videos are really good, you deserve it. Anyway, my personal favorite shrine was Proving Grounds: Vehicles (or whatever it's called) mainly because my aim was not to kill everything efficiently, I just got to the central thing and made this absolute tank of destruction which was super fun. Plus since I didn’t learn that wings needed carts to actually get going and was super confused why they all failed, it indirectly taught me that which was nice lol.

[@blackcat_064]

1:55:14 I discovered the giant stallion way before the quest NPC and when I finally found him, I used the giant horse from my botw save file cuz I forgot about the giant white one from this game

[@lio4349]

7:11 to be fair,The name of the shrine is ,,Courage to Fall" so it makes sense And about the bomb chese, its probably about how the engine works,with everything being able to push them if it uses enough force ,Like a literal bomb.

[@DylBro101]

12:20 Personally I parried a lot. Lynels, Ganon, slow enemies. It either disarmed them or stopped them in their tracks for a good few seconds and it's very useful if you have the timing ingrained like me.

[@coopinatormusic6214]

It hurt a little that you didn't figure out the intended method for Drifting Flame. When I did my mind was blown. I thought it was so cool. You're meant to use Ultrahand on the candle and hold it up where each unlit candle will appear. Then when finished, stand on the button, and recall the candle so it drifts along and lights the others. _Drifting_ Flame. 1:24:57 Ya know, aside from the massive construction site with piles of Zonai Devices just down the lift.

When you ruin a shrine for yourself by cheesing it, it's your fault, noot the shrines. Even if I had known, that bomb arrows activate targets I would have done them the intentional way. Also the shrine, in which you activate the lasers to open the trapdoor wasgreat, because it required spacial thinking. Gibdo for Smash

[@Dsheppp]

For the proving grounds with rafts, I had a lot of fun using Ultrahand to sweep the rafts out from under the constucts

[@prakashbulusu2330]

You know that bomb cheese as actually good for speed running all shrines.

[@nintoforgi]

This is a fun companion to the other shrine ranking video you mention bc I think he ends up figuring out the designed solution a lot more often than you do. This isn’t at all a criticism, I think what it really reveals is that you can’t get the whole picture of what shrines are like in this game without taking both designed solutions and creative ones into account. I really love this game’s shrines, where I mostly didn’t like them very much in BotW, and I think how powerful Ultrahand/Recall are and how modular the shrines themselves are is most of why. Sometimes I don’t feel like learning a new set of rules and standing around a room for two or three minutes applying them, and cheesy solutions give me an out when I feel as such.

[@chifii]

I'm glad you also had trouble with Proving Grounds - The Hunt because you tackled it very early. I also encountered it early and got frustrated with the roombas, so I said screw it and came back after I'd cleared almost all of the other shrines.

[@TheBenjamin109]

The hunt was criminally low imo! Sneaking in while the homing cart distracts the constructs while you fuse even stronger homing carts with the beam emitter from the center of the arena was so fun.

[@TheBenjamin109]

Building With Logs was another favorite of mine. If that’s where you learned how to recall cheese it’s where I learned one of my favorite quirks about the game…Big Bridge. While you can’t make a comically large bridge at the end with those logs a true dreamer like me found a way. If given tools for a bridge I would refuse to leave them behind. By the end of the shrine I had fused every single log into one massive bridge that stretched from the very beginning to the very end of the level. It was so big that it couldn’t actually turn because any rotation would send it wildly spinning . It wa some of my favorite memories of the game. I love Big Bridge.

[@neo_b]

it’d be really cool if shrine puzzles and challenges were incorporated into the big dungeon… or like if they combined a couple or more together so it’s about quality not quantity

[@mr.fluffyface431]

to be fair to #143, it's litterally named "The Courage to Fall" The name was the hint.

[@Fioriole]

I feel it's a bit cruel to dock points because you can use bomb arrows to cheese many shrine puzzles. I understand that as a factor to consider for replays, but for first-time playthroughs, I and many others didn't have a clue that that was a solution at all until it became widespread knowledge online. It's a very unconventional, very unintended way to solve them that's never taught in-game, so it's very unlikely the average player would discover it on their own. I had already completed every shrine before I found out.

[@Odyssey_Central]

I definitely understand that perspective, personally for me I just feel like it’s such a major oversight that it severely hurts these puzzles. A lot of these definitely ended up much lower than they could’ve been because of the target for me, but if it doesn’t effect your opinion then keeping them high is fair!

[@June26A7]

1:33:00 There is pretty major cheese for this shrine. At the very begining if you hit the orb with a bomb, you can skip the entire puzzle.

[@milesedgeworth8683]

Actually with the Controlling Device it should be mentioned that most people complete it prior to the Moragia boss fight. In my opinion it makes it even better since it teaches the player how to use controllers so they wouldn't get destroyed while fighting Moragia
