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

The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is one of my favorite games ever made. The new mechanics and open world are some of the best the zelda series has ever offered before. On top of all that, this game comes with 152 shrines that act as mini dungeons to complete. While I enjoyed my time with these in Breath of the Wild, I felt as though the Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom were SIGNIFICANTLY better. But with so many shrines, some were bound to be worse than others. So today, to celebrate hitting 150K subscribers, I’m going to rank 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. Otherwise enjoy the video!!!

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

1:55 lmao imagine my surprise when I saw this vid in my sub box while I'm working on my own TotK Shrine ranking video. 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 :))

[@Odyssey_Central]

I’m really looking forward to seeing your video too! I’ve been really enjoying the new Zelda videos you’ve been putting out so best of luck finishing your ranking 🔥

[@PJiggles]

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

[@Odyssey_Central]

@PJiggles I finally got the chance to finish your second part and yep, VERY different LMAO. It was really fun being able to hear our different perspectives, especially because TOTK has so many different ways to solve things! Great video series to you too!

[@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.

[@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.

[@mariaandreinaaranareggeti9239]

You can add emitters to the robots in the “proving grounds: the hunt” shrine

[@whiptonguebulborb]

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.

[@kwesadilla8121]

It's incredible how you can upload a video every week in which so much effort has gone into it! Only love for you, that 150k subs is more than deserved 🎉

[@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.

[@thecatinthehat125]

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”

[@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]

[@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.

[@jupiter0jupiter]

33:03 the snowquill winter clothes, or whatever they''re called, the rito armor, also makes you unfreezable with the whole set 39:19 this shrine was one of my favourites, the location was very memorable and I loved building the car and driving it over the water falls! and the korok on the way was a fun addition

[@jorgev2834]

Congrats Odyssey! Much deserved and I hope your channel can keep growing with your great content

[@-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.

[@annaczgli2983]

This was soo good! I really enjoyed watching it! Thanks for making it.

[@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

[@kiiwichan8794]

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

[@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.

[@dany_fg]

2:12:12 you can also recall the orb from across the room. it was so funny to see the orb return with no range limit.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@NoahsaturneScratch]

I swear Odyssey central editing is god like. Easily my favourite Nintendo content creator.

[@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]

[@darklion2704]

[@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.

[@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.

[@levikennedy2710]

This wasn't a video it was an experience

[@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.

[@thekyster07]

32:26 For some more fun, just use ultrahand on the floating platforms and shake all the constructs off so they all fall into the water!

[@erikloyd4621]

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.

My thoughts on this video: Nicely done, the edits were hilarious. I prefer the Moon Ranking one(likely cause I'm a Mario and Sonic person), but this is worth 150k(152k since there are 152 shrines but whatever). I wonder what 200k will be

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.

For A Route for a Ball shrine, I had no idea how to get the smaller orb down to me. I ended up using ultra hand on the big orb and pushed it as far as I could and quickly attached it to the smaller orb, then they came back together. I didn’t even think of using recall to pause it mid air 😮‍💨

[@jennifermorrey7378]

2:11:50 There's an easy cheese you can do. Once the ball gets launched, you can use recall to get the ball back. You can pick up the ball and put it in it's slot, skipping a whole section of the shrine.

[@Destrum_]

Great video!! I feel like as a whole the shrines were the most disappointing part of the game for me though. I just feel that they didn’t have the same magic as botw shrines (for the most part) like especially the shrine quests, I felt were all pretty much the same in totk, as where in botw you had super unique puzzles like holding a perfectly sized snowball at a cliff at a certain time of day so the shadow aligns with the pedestal and then the shrine rises from beneath the ground, and it just feels SO rewarding, more than any in totk in my opinion, and that’s just a mid tier botw example
