Tears of the Kingdom: Sinakawak Shrine [Walkthrough]

What Is Sinakawak Shrine In Tears of the Kingdom?

The Sinakawak Shrine, known as “An Uplifting Device,” is one of the various shrines scattered throughout Hyrule in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The primary objective of this Shrine is to navigate through the various stages and ultimately reach the end. However, along the way, there are Sinakawak Shrine chests hidden that players can find and open to obtaining valuable rewards. The Shrine’s puzzle mechanics revolve around the use of balloons and flames.

• The balloons have an ascending property when exposed to a heat source beneath them.
• Players can make use of the Ultra Hand, an item that allows them to interact with objects from a distance to attach balloons to different objects and structures.
• By strategically attaching balloons to light sources and using the Ultra Hand’s recall ability, players can create a pathway to access higher platforms and continue their progression.
• It’s important to explore each platform thoroughly, as chests may be hidden in unexpected locations.

Location Of The Shrine

The shrine is in the Central Hyrule region, northeast of Hyrule Ridge and southeast of Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower, and serves as a warp point near the New Serenne Stable. The precise navigation coordinates are (-1413, 0757, 0089).

Treasure And Rewards

When you complete the Sinakawak Shrine, in addition to the “Light of Blessing,” you should be rewarded with a Shrine Treasure. This contains a unique reward for completing the specific shrine.

1. Light of Blessing: This is a collectible item that increases Link’s power when collected. Collecting four Lights of Blessing will allow you to upgrade either your heart containers or your stamina wheel at any goddess statue.
2. Shrine Treasure: Within the Sinakawak Shrine, there is a special treasure chest that contains a unique item, often a piece of gear or a weapon.
3. The exact reward can vary, but based on the theme of the shrine, it might be something like a unique “Uplifting” bow that has a special property of increasing arrow drop-off. This can make aiming at distant targets much easier and is a valuable asset in many combat scenarios.
