The Mozo Shenno Shrine,[1] designated by the Trial name A Major Test of Strength,[1] is an Ancient Shrine in Breath of the Wild.

Entrance to the Shrine

Mozo Shenno Shrine is located below the Biron Snowshelf in the Hebra Mountains. It is accessed as part of "The Bird in the Mountains" Shrine Quest.

Link can start the Shrine Quest by talking to Molli in Rito Village, where she'll ask him if he wants to hear a story.[2] She tells Link a story about her Grandpa, who stopped at a Cedar Tree while Climbing below him and looked northwest.[3] Suddenly, he saw a huge, snow-white Bird with its wings spread.[4] He flew after the Bird, noticing something important in its stomach as he approached.[5] Molli starts to share what it was,[6] but since she gets sleepy around this part of the story, she does not remember.[7]

However, Molli does know where the big Cedar Tree is.[8] She points Link towards a Cedar Tree atop Talonto Peak, claiming it is the Tree from her Grandpa's story.[9]

If Link glides northwest with the Paraglider from the same Cedar Tree, he can see the Mozo Shenno Shrine hidden in a small cave under the Biron Snowshelf, which resembles a white Bird with its wings spread. Activating the Ancient Shrine will complete the Shrine Quest. As Link enters the Shrine, he is greeted by its Monk, Mozo Shenno.[10]

Themes and Navigation

The Mozo Shenno Shrine features a large central chamber which acts as an arena. As Link approaches the center of the arena, a Guardian Scout IV, wielding an Ancient Battle Axe++, a Guardian Sword++, and a Guardian Spear++, will rise from a pit to challenge him. There are metal blocks embedded into the floor of the chamber, which can be lifted with Magnesis to protect Link from the Guardian Scout IV. Link must defeat the Guardian Scout IV in order to progress forward.

Once Link has defeated the Guardian Scout, the portcullis in the back of the chamber will open, allowing Link access to the Monk's Pedestal. When Link approaches Mozo Shenno, the Monk will give him a Spirit Orb as a reward for completing the Trial.[11] Following this, Mozo Shenno will wish Link well before fading away.[12]

A stone Treasure Chest behind the portcullis contains a Diamond.
