Shrines of Trials are dungeon-like puzzles in.

Overview
According to the official Nintendo of America Twitter account and Nintendo's E3 website, there are over 100 such Shrines scattered throughout Hyrule. The Shrines of Trials appear after the activation of the Sheikah Towers. Link enters the Shrines of Trials by unlocking them via his Sheikah Slate. Shrines that have not yet been unlocked glow an orange light, but glow blue once their entrance has been opened.

The Shrines each contain a series of traps and obstacles to be overcome as part of a trial. At the end of every Shrine is a Monk, who are the creators of the trials inside. The Monks will present Link a Spirit Orb for successfully reaching them. Some Shrines of Trials also contain Runes which add functionalities to the Sheikah Slate, bestowing Link with new abilities. Each Shrine contains an incidental treasure alongside the Spirit Orbs bestowed by the Monks.
