Related Quests

The Etsu Korima Shrine is located on the Great Plateau atop Mount Hylia. It appears as part of the "EX The Champions' Ballad" Main Quest. To access the Ancient Shrine, Link must defeat the various Enemies that appear on Mount Hylia during the trial.[2] After the last Enemy is defeated, the Shrine rises from beneath the ground. As Link enters, he is greeted by the Shrine's Monk, Etsu Korima.[3]

Themes and Navigation

Etsu Korima Shrine is covered in Darkness, forcing Link to follow light sources such as stationary Torches or the glowing walls to find his way through. Through a small corridor from the entrance is a large chamber with seven lasers. The first three are stationary lasers firing vertically from the ceiling, the next three are also stationary but are firing horizontally across the walkway at roughly the same level as Link's eyes when he is standing. The final laser is firing horizontally across the walkway but is on a platform moving up and down.

The next chamber has a large number of stationary Torches scattered around four large rotating cylindrical columns, each column two or three walls covered with spikes attached to them. The third chamber has three sets of small openings, each with four nozzles that spew out jets of Fire lining the opening. The jets can be safely passed through with the Fireproof Armor or by carefully crossing over one of the nozzles while it is off. Down a small flight of stairs, three Guardian Scouts I lie in wait, two of which hide behind nearby walls.

At the end of the chamber with Guardian Scouts is a large staircase leading up to the Monk's Pedestal. As Link ascends the staircase, Etsu Korima Shrine will light up. However, the Darkness returns if Link turns back. Upon approaching Etsu Korima, the Monk gives Link a Spirit Orb for completing the trial.[4] Following this, Etsu Korima wishes Link well before fading away.[5]
