are dungeon-like puzzles in.

Overview
After the BotW: helped to seal away BotW:, they built the NaN Ancient Shrines to serve as training grounds for the hero as he prepared for the revival of BotW:. There are initially 120 NaN Ancient Shrines scattered throughout BotW:. Many of the NaN Ancient Shrines where uncovered during BotW:'s excavations for BotW:, but they only began to glow after BotW: activated the BotW: following his BotW:. In order to enter an BotW:, BotW: must unlock the entrance by pressing his BotW: to the BotW: at a BotW:'s entrance. NaN Ancient Shrines that have not yet been unlocked glow an orange light, and glow orange and blue once their entrance has been opened, but not yet completed. Upon completion, NaN Ancient Shrines only glow blue.

During the beginning of the fifth Recovered Memory, Zelda's Resentment, Princess Zelda attempts to use the Sheikah Slate to try to access the one of the shrines, but to no avail and seeks to find a loophole before Link arrives, much to her displeasure.

Once an BotW: has been opened with a BotW:, its BotW: will activate. This will allow BotW: to BotW: to the BotW: from his BotW:.

BotW: is lowered into each BotW: by an BotW:, and each BotW: contains a series of traps and obstacles to be overcome as part of a trial. At the end of every BotW: is a BotW:, who are the creators of the trials inside. They rest upon NaN Monk's Pedestals. The NaN Monks will present BotW: a BotW: for successfully reaching them. The first four NaN Ancient Shrines also contain NaN Guidance Stones that will distill NaN Runes, which add functionalities to the BotW: and bestow BotW: with new abilities. Each BotW: contains various amounts of NaN Treasure Chests alongside the NaN Spirit Orbs bestowed by the NaN Monks. A BotW: icon will appear next to the BotW:'s name on the BotW: once all NaN Treasure Chests have been collected.

After completing all 120 NaN Ancient Shrines, BotW: is instructed to head to the BotW: in the BotW:, where he will find NaN Treasure Chests containing the BotW:.

After completing all four NaN Divine Beasts and beginning DLC Pack, BotW: can access 16 new NaN Ancient Shrines across BotW:. This expansion raises the total number of NaN Ancient Shrines to 136. These NaN Ancient Shrines have a tall pillar on their top to differentiate them from regular NaN Ancient Shrines and their BotW: icon is likewise slightly edited to match. Four of them are found on the BotW:, while the four NaN Regions coinciding with the NaN Championss contain three NaN Ancient Shrines each. BotW: must complete a Trial to access each of these NaN Ancient Shrines. BotW: is rewarded with NaN Spirit Orbs as usual at the end of the four BotW: NaN Ancient Shrines, but is instead given emblems related to the BotW:'s respective BotW: for the rest of the NaN Ancient Shrines.

Trivia

 * The design of the NaN Ancient Shrines was inspired by art from the Japanese.
