If you’ve made your way over to the snowy region of Hebra in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and acquainted yourself with the winged-folk of Rito Village, you’ll have no doubt ran into the Gatakis Shrine. This shrine sums up most of what we’ll be doing across Rito Village, and has us gliding all over the place.

That said, it’s a fun way of beginning to master the use of Link’s glider, and if you are yet to visit the Wind Temple, you’re sure as hell going to need to become accustomed to gliding everywhere. Without further ado, here’s how to complete the Gatakis Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.


How to complete Gatakis Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Gatakis Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn’t too troublesome to locate, as it resides in the heart of Rito Village. If you make your way over there and begin to scale the village, you can’t miss it.

When you first enter the shrine, simply glide over towards the next platform in front of you. Then, to your right will be some lasers, with a wind current coming from the left.

Have Link glide over to the platform on the right, while carefully avoiding the lasers; it’s easy enough.

In the next room, there’ll be a turbine for Link to dive into. Carefully dive through the gap here, and keep diving to smash through the ice patch below it.

Once you dive past the ice patch, you’ll wind up in a room full of wind. The bottom of this room is an endless abyss, and we’re surrounded by platforms with Soldier Constructs on them. In front of Link, however, there will be a gap in the grate.

Glide through this gap, and glide upwards until you reach a platform to land on again. Now, go ahead and retrieve your Light of Blessing!

Where to find the Gatakis Shrine chest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

When you glide through the patch of ice and find yourself in the room with multiple turbines and Solder Constructs, look left.

There will be a chest on a platform with a Soldier Construct; kill him, and open the chest to receive a Strong Construct Bow! Then, you can continue making your way out of here.
