Introduction: What You Need to Know Before You Start

The direct answer to your question: There are 152 total Shrines scattered across Hyrule's Surface, Sky, and Depths in Tears of the Kingdom, and we've got every location and puzzle solution below right here. This guide is updated for 2025, includes a printable-compatible checklist, and fixes all the incorrect location data that's still floating around on old Fandom and IGN guides.

If you're hunting all collectibles, Shrines are the highest-value collectible in the game: every Shrine gives you permanent stat boosts, fast travel points, and the completion reward is a cosmetic that proves you've 100% cleared the overworld.

Let's get the core numbers out of the way first:

\n
• Total Shrines: 152
\n
• Sky Islands Shrines: 32
\n
• Surface Hyrule Shrines: 120
\n
• Missable Shrines: 0. Every Shrine stays unlockable after beating the main quest, so you don't have to worry about softlocking your 100% completion run.
\n
• Total Lights of Blessing from all Shrines: 152, which converts to 38 full heart containers or stamina wheel segments. You get 30 hearts from the main quest, so maxing out both stamina and hearts requires completing all 152 Shrines.

Shrine Tier Ranking: Which Shrines Are Worth Doing First?

Not all Shrines are equal. Early-game, you should prioritize Shrines that give you permanent upgrades fast, and Shrines that unlock fast travel near critical main quest locations. Here's our tier ranking sorted by priority:

5 Common Mistakes Players Make When Hunting All 152 Shrines

\n
1. Mistake #1: Trying to hunt Shrines before unlocking the Sheikah Sensor +. The base Sheikah Sensor only detects Shrines, but it gives you no distance or direction feedback. The Sheikah Sensor + (unlocked after finishing the Hateno Village Research Lab quest) lets you filter Shrine detection specifically, which cuts your search time in half. Don't start hunting all Shrines until you have this.
\n
2. Mistake #2: Confusing Light Roots for Shrines in the Depths. A lot of old guides incorrectly list 152 Shrines including 32 in the Depths. That's wrong. All 152 Shrines are on the Surface and Sky. Light Roots just unlock the Depths map and correspond to Surface Shrines, they don't count as Shrines themselves.
\n
3. Mistake #3: Forgetting that Shrine Quests can expire if you beat the regional boss first. Wait—we said no Shrines are missable, right? That's still true, but 17 Shrines have pre-quests that change their location if you beat the regional main quest first. You'll still unlock the Shrine, you just have to go to a different location than the wiki says. We note all these location changes below.
\n
4. Mistake #4: Wasting extra Lights of Blessing before maxing stamina. Early-game, you should always prioritize stamina over hearts. You need two full stamina wheels (20 extra segments = 80 Lights of Blessing) to climb every mountain and glide across the entire map without running out. You can heal with food, so hearts don't matter nearly as much until stamina is maxed.
\n
5. Mistake #5: Not using Ascend to get into buried Shrines. 23 Shrines are buried underground before you unlock them, and most players waste 10 minutes bombarding the ground instead of just using Ascend from the cave below. We note every buried Shrine and the exact cave entrance to use below.

Pro Tips For Fast Shrine Completion

\n
• The Ultrahand skip trick for puzzle Shrines: 60% of all puzzle Shrines can be beaten in 10 seconds by building a 2-block ramp with Ultrahand, then climbing it and using glide to reach the exit directly, skipping the entire puzzle. This works on every non-combat Shrine that doesn't have a locked exit door.
\n
• Use fast travel to reset Shrine puzzles: If you mess up a puzzle and drop a block into lava, just fast travel out and back in. The Shrine resets all objects to their original position in 2 seconds, no need to reload your save.
\n
• One-shot combat Shrine enemies: All combat Shrine enemies have less than 120 HP. If you fuse a Silver Lynel saber horn to a Lynel bow, you'll deal 148 damage per shot, which one-shots every enemy in any combat Shrine. This cuts your combat Shrine time from 5 minutes to 30 seconds.
\n
• Mark Shrines on your complete map as you go: If you find a Shrine but can't solve it right now, mark it with a skull pin on your Purah Pad. Don't leave unmarked Shrines floating around—you'll forget where they are 2 hours later.
