Highlights

  • The director of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom reveals the lore behind the shrines found in Hyrule, which were built to keep evil at bay before Ganondorf appeared.
  • Completing the challenges within each shrine cleanses Link of his darkness and grants him Spirit Orbs, which give him the power to defeat Ganondorf.
  • The shrines in the game are inspired by real-world locations in Kyoto, and players in the area are encouraged to explore their surroundings to find these locations.
