Ranking EVERY Breath of the Wild Shrine from Worst to Best

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!

Alright Zeltik, you know what's next... time for a ranking of every Korok seed location.

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."

Absolutely love how you called Magda “Flowerblight Ganon”.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Zeltik, if you're reading this, please make a sequel to that video where you made concept art for enemies that could return in Breath of the Wild 2. It's probably my favorite video you've ever uploaded.

My eyes widened when I read the words “every shrine” that’s some serious dedication. Always good to see a new video from you Zeltik !

“i wish there were more caves in breath of the wild’s hyrule” bet youre happy now bud

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Zeltik, Swinging Flames doesn’t appear after beating the Talus Titan. It’s the shrine for Goron City. The shrine appearing after beating the Talus is the Moving Targets shrine from Daruk’s DLC quest.

I didn't mind shrines being easy, as long as they teach you something. Like in the wind guides, its one of the first shrines you do on your way to kakariko village, and shows you how winds and updrafts work.

I wish the tests of strength had different guardian types. Clearly the bigger guardians wouldn’t work in a smaller space like that found in the shrines but maybe a small, fast-moving version of the guardian skywatchers that encourages using the bow and bullet time might be cool.
