Corrections: Swinging Flames isn't the DLC Shrine spawned after defeating an Igneo Talus Titan, that's Moving Targets! Also for Under a Red Moon, Blood Moons aren't random, they're on a cycle. Please let me know if you noticed any other mistakes, I'm sure I've got more than one thing mixed up!

seeing them all back to back like this makes me wonder how the monks decided to assemble shrines in universe. like some monks put together puzzles, some decided on combat challenges, and some (with no knowledge that the people in the overworld would meddle with the means to access the shrine) were just like "eh eff it, he's probably gonna hit some sorta roadblock, have a blessing."

[@charziz6693]

I think they all worked on their shrine alone, with Twin Memories as the exception. Some of them like Steady Thy Heart and Greedy Hill probably say more about the shrine's creator than the shrine itself.

[@nasanerd2009]

When my sister was playing BotW and doing the Myahm Agana shrine, she did something that surprised me. Rather than navigate the ball through the maze (like I did, having the walls actually helped me quite a bit) or use the flat surface like most people do, she started flipping the maze over as if to do the second option, but left it near vertical and then smacked the ball as it was dropped, launching it onto the walkway. I'm not sure if she did that accidentally or if it was her intention, but it was nevertheless a really interesting way to see that puzzle solved.

[@leargamma4912]

Dang. Reminds me of going through the maze manually and yeeting that thing

[@kylebennett789]

I yeeted it accidentally. I wanted to reset it and it yeeted itself out of the maze and over the wall and into the hole

[@rocco5361]

Does she like playing Ping Pong by any chance?

[@ZeroHBRPro]

I usually rotate it 90 degrees and the ball drops on the last corridor of the maze. It's easier to steer the ball than flipping the whole maze.

[@daniel__6]

i thoughts that’s how we were meant to solve it i did that too😭😭

[@_soska]

Common misconception, actually: The blood moon appears every 2 hours and 48 minutes of gameplay, which translates to 7 in-game days. Also, using a campfire doesn’t progress the timer in any way.

[@MLennholm]

Was about to comment this myself. Blood moons aren't random at all.

[@Zeltik]

You're right, thank you for pointing this out!

[@GamerOfFate]

What about triggering Blood Moons sooner by defeating Hinoxes, Lynels and the like? Is there any concrete data on that?

[@paulrance5445]

@@GamerOfFate No that’s false, there’s nothing to hold it up

[@MLennholm]

@@GamerOfFate There's no known reliable way to trigger a blood moon, killing lots of enemies won't do it. The so called panic blood moons is a way for the game to reset itself and fix memory issues. I think there were some reliable ways to trigger them early on but they were patched because they were bugs and panic blood moons are very rare nowadays. Regardless, I doubt a panic blood moon would work at the shrine quest. The quest logic probably just checks the normal "is tonight a blood moon?" flag and the in-game time of day (in fact, I believe we can see this because the pedestal only activates just before midnight on a blood moon night).

[@panosmosproductions3230]

I solved the “Watch out for the flowers” quest by climbing up a nearby tree and then proceeding to glide over the flowers.

[@BJGvideos]

Hey whatever works

[@Zodia195]

Why didn't I think of that idea? It's like akin to finding the Courage and Power shrines by taking the back door lol.

[@Karalora]

I always pull the camera up to an overhead view, which makes the exact layout of the maze far more obvious. You just have to remember to bring it down again before ascending the platform so you don't run over the single flower in the middle of the path, which is basically invisible from overhead. (And don't get too aggressive fighting the Chuchus on the way.)

[@Saben.C-Spoon]

I actually usually just shield surf jump my way over the flowers, once you get in one of the paths right at the start you can just jump right to the shrine right away

[@the_mystical_pigeon]

@@Zodia195 wait what?

[@NyleMediate]

In defense of the Myahm Agana shrine, the fact that you can flip the whole thing around instead of solving the maze demonstrates the one of the game's greatest strengths: outside-the-box puzzle-solving. Definitely one of my least favorite shrines, but that first realization that you're not confined to the 'rules' of this maze and can just launch the orb was pretty satisfying.

[@thearbiterofnoodles]

[@Mario12112345]

The Korok Forest trial with Oki is one of the funniest shrines to do on a second or third playthrough for me since I've essentially memorized the path to the shrine, so I can just run ahead to the end, slaughtering the wolves that attack near the end before they're a problem and just camp out behind the shrine until Oki shows up. This in turn also makes it so Oki technically proved he's worthy of being a grownup by taking the walk through the woods by himself.

[@gremilyns]

Love the list, though i personally consider the mount lanayru shrine to be S tier - stumbling across cursed Naydra and the distorted version of the drag theme, with absolutely no prior knowledge of this quest and just stumbling across it because i was trying to get to the top of the mountain was hands down the best experience in the whole game for me. it really felt like something totally otherworldly and mysterious and gave me chills the typhlo ruins quest, hilariously, i somehow did in under 30 seconds. i ran in, accidentally ended up on top of the hinox, got the spirit orb, and completed the quest. the green line on my map is pretty much a straight line, i felt like i had completed it by accident! this quest was really built up by the time i got there too, so i was expecting more of an experience. just absolute genuine beginners luck there!

[@stephaniem8278]

Lol! That's so funny in comparison to my experience--entering severely under-equipped, accidentally ruining the torches so you have little light, running into walls and rocks in the dark. Also, I am pretty sure the first time I did it I entered from the wrong side! That quest gave me such anxiety.

[@valarmis]

I ran out of arrows and took out the last malice with a sword while falling and it felt cool, 10/10 one of the best moments in the game

[@utelvescaro1998]

I agree Naydra’s quest is incredibly cool, but I always struggle with making the updrafts work for me. They’re so unreliable, it made a fun 3 minute joyride into an obnoxious, grueling 15 minute ordeal.

Eventide Island in master mode is ridiculously hard. I figured out that if you drop weapons on the raft before going on the island, they’ll stay there. So I dropped a couple royal guard swords and Lynel bows and kinda cheesed it. It’s super fun when you genuinely do it though.

The Twin Memories shrines I personally found to be very entertaining. Instead of taking notes I just took a picture of each layout with the Camera Rune. I don't know how obvious it is to do that, but when I did it it made me feel like I just had a really smart and witty idea :D

[@ZXherie]

​@@NphenThat's a super fun idea!

[@QuasarEE]

I have to put in a word for the shrine with the 3 trees. Even though it's relatively simple, to the point of being trivial if you know what you're doing, it hits VERY differently if you're new and not very good at the game yet and try to do it early on. It felt like a real accomplishment to get there - I had trouble even finding a path up the mountain where it wasn't raining, needed to track down more peppers and relearn the recipe for the old man's dish so I could survive the cold, and then got a great reward in the form of the climbing boots.

[@stephaniem8278]

I second this. If you follow the path from the plateau, to Kakariko, to Hateno, and then go for this shrine quest, it can be really challenging to figure out how to survive it. One way offers a deadly Lynel, and the other has difficult climbing.

[@tea9047]

definitely, it was one of the really early shrine quests in the game for me, i think it was specifically set up for players to get familiar with the concept of shrine quests too since the general route most players will follow is to hateno

[@mims4085]

Agreed! 👏🏽

[@ilovethelegend]

Okay, the thing with the Wind Guides You: I think it's actually a great shrine, because it reinforces that you're able to use the paraglider to get places, and teaches you how winds and updrafts work. This is great, because it's positioned on one of the most obvious routes from the great plateau to Kakariko village.

Another idea I think could've worked would have been to have Shiekah simulations of various monsters. Such as, imagine if the platform came up and it's a simulation of a Lynel, built out of tech. That'd be awesome and would've allowed all kinds of variety in the encounters.

My favorite shrine is the Jitan Sami shrine, Jitan Sami's blessing. It was so satisfying and fun to save Naydra from the malice, and because of that shrine I'm very much looking forward to the secrets I'll find when exploring the second game's world. My least favorite shrine is Rota Chiga shrine, Stop to Start. I understand that it is an expertly designed shrine, but it was so dang frustrating and it took forever to get right.

In defense of Tahno O'ah: even though it's a blessing shrine, and it's relatively unchallenging to reach, I wouldn't rank it so low. It's likely one of Link's first opportunities to use a cold-resisting recipe to reach a location, since the Warm Darner is not enough to stop you from being cold. Yet, it's close enough to Hateno Village to turn back if you don't have enough cold resistance. I think it's more valuable tutorially, and thus should be ranked a little higher.

[@DanDanChair3427]

The "Flowerblight Ganon" joke is top tier.

[@902496]

In regards to the very first shrine you mention, the motion control maze, I wanted to put out there for anyone struggling with the "flip it upside-down" method that there is an easier way. If you turn the shrine 90 degrees so the exit faces you, the ball will drop at the end of the final straightaway towards the maze exit. Then you can just turn it back to its original position, and now you have the ball lined up in the maze, with walls on either side, ready to be flung. That stupid golf one is definitely at the bottom for me. The chest puzzle is so damn hard I always end up giving up, and I've looked it up an the reward is one of the few giant ancient cores you can get in chests in the game.

2:22 This shrine reminds me of the beta of BotW, where Nintendo was going to add more Wii U GamePad-related gimmicks into the mix, right before axing *almost* all of it. This is one of those few exceptions. In the beta of this game, the GamePad was more integral to the whole game, with a map and probably inventory on the GamePad, which I am genuinely disappointed aren't in the Wii U version of the game. I remember in a playable 2016 version of the game, there was this one Wii U GamePad gimmick that I am glad didn't make it into the game, where you had the ability to scan enemies in first person using the GamePad's gyro to view their health. It seemed slow and unnecessary. The camera rune is still in the game, and I bet that it was initially supposed to be kinda like Fatal Frame for Wii U.

[@ELMQ]

I was hoping for "Steady Thy Heart" being an S-Tier but I didn't expect it being your favourite of all shrines. Because it's my favourite, too. I absolutely loved to find my way in through (what seems to be) the only explorable cave in the game and during the actual trial I felt trolled by the designers in a way, that I had to laugh out loud several times.

Thank you for making this video. Such a lot of work and such polish too. I really enjoyed it!

[@Ganondoodles]

i find it kinda funny how many of many of the D and C Tiers are some of my favorite shrines, i like the simple ones tbh, overall i got no problem with almost all of them .. except for the golf ones and the test of strength; golf is just kinda boring and test of strength .. well, its the most boring really, otherwise i just didnt like it much when a shrine requires alot of weapon usage (like the golf ones) tho i suppose that changed once i got the master sword since i use that for everything i dont want to spend durabillity of better weapons on xD

[@Greyfather991]

What dedication to rank all 120 shrines! Amazing video and keep up the great work!

[@XX-sp3tt]

15:33 I got hit by lightning without protection for that shrine. I was HAPPY it was a blessing shrine!

[@xian2themax]

You’re supposed to just set a metal weapon on it

[@XX-sp3tt]

@@xian2themax I didn't know that at the time. I thought you HAD TO get hit by lightning for it to count.

[@theblacksquare9092]

Nintendo was like "you want more caves? have 147 more"

[@ancientbaltoy8769]

I went this entire video just going "Wait you can do it like that?" or "That's not even close to what I did". Great video, need to remember some of this.

[@eichelwurst2929]

29:14 Wow. I've beaten this Shrine several times and had no Idea you can beat it like that

[@BJGvideos]

How did you do it then?

[@batRogers]

Man this makes me want to do another all-shrines run again. Some of these shrines you just don't revisit otherwise and you forget how fun they can be, like Steady Thy Heart!

[@leargamma4912]

Wind guide, too. Buuut my circumstances for finding that one was more a "ya got me, game" kinda deal than anything else. Or me just.... using the shrine beeper.

[@lh06]

Trail of power being #5 made me happy. Definitely one of my favourite shrines, as the puzzles are incredibly fun, and it has lots of good loot for the early game. Since I didn’t expect it to be so high it was a pleasant surprise to see my favourite shrine other then the dark forest and eventide at #5.

[@Kloverkill]

The depth of work and quality of your content is just incredible. Thank you.

[@pedrogarcia8706]

I really wish that instead of being randomly ordered, the shrines in this game that really feel like they build off of one another would actually be encountered in order, so that they get progressively harder, that way it feels like there's a progression from learning a mechanic, to applying that mechanic, to mastering that mechanic.

[@stephaniem8278]

Ah, but then it is less wild. I felt like I learned and mastered them in a progressive way still. If you follow the path the game nudges you toward for the first part of the game, you basically run through all the easier/tutorial-type shrines. The three trees one is essentially a tutorial for shrine quests.

[@amaryllis0]

It's funny, because the sole advantage of having all the shrines being these boring, homogenous pocket dimensions instead of coherent spaces like caves or dungeons, is that the game could change up the shrine inside so you encounter specific shrines in a specific order. For example, instead of Entrance A leading to Shrine A etc., you have Entrance A lead to any wind-themed shine, and the game just serves you up the next wind-themed shrine that you haven't completed yet. Then the shrines could actually build upon each other and become progressively harder as you say

[@dozenscroll5682]

Zeltik my man! You never fail to impress us with your work and your dedication

[@adnanchehaitelli1938]

Amazing work. I love how you put together these videos! Everytime I see something new It's always such a masterpiece and great tribute to the lore behind these ganes

[@zeldaholich6436]

Wonderful video once again Zeltik. Appreciate your continued dedication and hard work you put into each of these videos. Is there still a plan for your Water temple break down video from Ocarina of time? I remember you making a post about it after your forest and fire temple videos but then it was never mentioned again.

[@mercury2157]

The first time I did Myahm Agana, I got lucky because I basically used the corner of the maze to fling the ball into the hole. Suffice to say, every attempt I made to replicate that on my second playthrough failed.

[@nicholaswise5818]

this guy got his wish for more caves

[@kaylynbrescia7204]

my favorite shrine is Blue Flame. It's so much fun figuring out how to bring the flame from one end of a huge shrine to the other. I'm so glad it was in S tier. Steady Thy Heart was a banger too oml those two and the Naydra quest are some of the most unforgettable in the game imo.

[@calebklauzer3171]

This made me realize how long it's been since I've played the full game. I forgot so many of these details. Great work. 👍

[@trevorking8718]

I actually like Myahm Agana, the lowest rated shrine on the list. It’s early on so it was really cool the first time realizing I could just turn the controller over and skip the maze, and the devs obviously knew you could. It’s just a cool bit of puzzle solving freedom

[@patrickflying17]

If that puzzel was bound to the stick it'd be a living hell. People really need to start thinking outside the box with these gyro puzzels. some are finicky as hell like the three ball ones but overall they're prolly the least frustrustrating of the frustrating type of shrine. Hell you dont even need to turn the mazeupside down. just flick the ball into the middle slot and off you go.

[@vivaangupta969]

What's funny is that every electricity-related shrine can be cheesed using the Thunder Helm

[@sidnew2739]

Nope. Most of them require to build up circuits.

[@stark_knight_]

You nailed it! Love this list!!!

[@dragonflytoo]

I applaud you ❤️👍🏻. WELL DONE! One aspect I love about BOTW is that shrines can be completed so many different ways. I smiled through this entire video because you showed me different, and often easier, ways to complete the shrine. I appreciate the time, expertise and energy it took to create this. thank you 👍🏻.

[@pseudonym..]

Great! Now do every Korok seed.

[@sommerblaser]

34:58 this is the WORST shine in my opinion. i have a switch lite, so while doing the apparatus shrines, i don’t have the option to take off the controllers so i have to turn my entire switch this way and that, while trying to still see the screen so i know what i’m doing. i’m convinced the last block is impossible, i gave up and wind bombed it

[@sharpjay217]

When my boyfriend was first playing BotW earlier this year, his roommate and I kept waiting for him to get to the motion control shrines. Those shrines had pissed off both of us so much, and we were just waiting to laugh at his annoyance then share our hatred of the motion controls. We quickly learned that we had severely underestimated the Splatoon player’s mastery of motion controls, as he did those shrines in less than a minute each.

[@normiesprogress8436]

Thanks for the video! I think a lot of the opinions I had on the shrines are ones I share with you, and they were things I considered when I was modding them. I still have the Tests of Strength ones to update, but 100 of them have been reworked to some capacity, like The Stars Guide You having the shrine be pitch black to better see the constellations.

[@yamidom9134]

Love how chill some were. The speed crystal 🔷️... reminds me Sonic X. The Flower Ganon Lady 🌷 and the drunk 🥴Lady... love who you meet at shines. They all remind me of things form Nintendo game's 🎮.

[@jackiemay147]

I hated blue flame, but only because they didn’t give you any arrows in the shrine. So many times, I’d go in with a normal amount of arrows and then get stuck doing one of the puzzles for so long that I go through all my arrows. Then the only thing you can do is backtrack and go buy more, and then redo the entire shrine again. It’s infuriating, and that’s why older Zelda games would always make sure if you were in a dungeon where you needed arrows or bombs for instance, you were never stuck without it. I can’t imagine why they changed this in BOTW.

[@leargamma4912]

I understand your pain, but it rewards item management, something few zelda games ever do. At least, that is how I think of it.

[@hayesblake]

Zeltik, this was a mammoth task to undertake but as always it was a thoroughly great watch with equally good commentary. Thank you for taking the time to do this

[@hayesblake]

Edit: FLOWER BLIGHT GANON! Hahaha

[@constanceaverman4364]

Great! I enjoyed this immensely. I saved eventide island for the end of my gameplay and it was a blast. I hope the sequel has more dungeons.

[@Kingofslay]

Hey how are you doing?

[@Broockle]

A friend of mine ended up on Eventide island as one of his first shrines and it made him quit the game 😆 Some people just have epically bad RNG. While it's an awesome shrine, it's not good to encounter with no experience.

[@worldsworstletsplay]

I love that you ranked every single one of these! DEDICATION!! I am currently playing through BOTW again, but on Master Mode for the first time! I would be honored for a mega fan to check it out!

[@SonicTheHedgehog336]

"It feels like your storming a castle" The Bread Pirate: Have fun, storming the castle Bread liked that

[@tinyetoile5503]

IMO, one of my problems with BOTW is that they swapped traditional Zelda puzzles for physics puzzles, which are so finnicky and often more luck-based than anything else

[@gundamwarrior]

The motion control ones are as bad as playing an actual version of Labyrinth ball puzzle game. Those theres were frustrating as sin to play with. Owned one, could rarely if ever get past a quarter of the area. My hatred for those was exemplified in the BOTWs puzzles that required it.

[@dugganater]

This is game is freaking incredible. So many great shrines and overworld puzzles.

[@papaspoon1550]

I remember you mentioning this 2 weeks ago, I didn't actually think you'd be such a mad man too do it.

[@Zerolink30]

I hated Blessing Shrines, even when i had something to do to get the shrine to appear. I always wanted more no matter how hard the Overworld challenge was. As for Test of Strength shrines, yeah a few less would off been better or they could have added more enemies to fight with each one of its respective lvl. Think Wind Waker/Twilight Princess Savage Labyrinths.

[@HyruleGamer]

Loving these colossal videos! 😍

[@mitchpalm5908]

Great content man!!!

[@MoonMagicks]

This was really fun to watch, especially since I never discovered a handful of these on my casual playthrough.
