Shrine of Light
From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
Shrines of Light are locations in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]
Features and Overview
Shrines of Light are sacred places created to purge Darkness. They existed before the foundation of Hyrule and were placed above where a demon was destroyed to prevent its reappearance.[2] Shrines of Light often act as trials that offer Lights of Blessing in return for reaching their ends. The Shrines of Light on the Surface have corresponding Lightroots in the Depths. These Lightroots appear in the same X and Y coordinates as their Surface counterparts, and bear reversed names from their Surface counterparts. Shrines of Light in the Sky do not have matching Lightroots.
In their default state, Shrines of Light have swirls of green energy that encircles a large stone at their centers. By touching a magical panel between the Dragon statues on their fronts, Link is able to activate the Shrines of Light. When activated, Shrines of Light summon Travel Points and a portal to their interiors appears on the front of the stones at their centers. Link must enter these portals in order to claim the Lights of Blessing inside. The Travel Points summoned by the Shrines of Light can be Warped to with the Purah Pad.

- ↑ "The shrines themselves were built before Rauru founded Hyrule – before the Demon King Ganondorf appeared there were still a lot of evil beings, so Rauru and Sonia went around various places to calm things down. Shrines are placed above where a demon was destroyed so it will not reappear. This is why that spiral of light emerges from the shrine. Therefore, bathing in the remaining power of the shrines slightly cleanses Link of the demon magic." —Hidemaro Fujibayashi (Hyrule's Shrines Serve A Secret Peace-Keeping Purpose, Says TOTK Director, published December 19, 2023, retrieved December 19, 2023.)
