Where are the shrines in the Great Sky Island in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Great Sky Island in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the first area you will encounter, and can be quite confusing to actually navigate. While opening areas in past Zelda games are relatively contained, you are still left to your own devices, and it can be challenging to know what to do in this particular game.
With so many Shrine locations to find and a giant door to unlock, there is plenty to do in the Great Sky Island in TOTK, so make sure to check out the rest of this guide below to see all of the details.
Where are the shrines on the Great Sky Island?
There are four shrines that you'll need to complete on the Great Sky Island in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and they are thankfully on a relatively linear path to each other.
The TOTK Great Sky Island Shrine locations are as follows:
Ukouh Shrine - North, to the west of the Temple of Time

The first thing you'll want to do on Great Sky Island in TOTK however is head to the first Steward Construct, found just down to the right of where you first landed. It might be curled up in its 'sleep' state, but its green and white stature shown above is hard to miss.
This particular Steward Construct will give you the Purah Pad - this game's version of the Sheikah Slate - and task you with finding Princess Zelda in the Temple of Time.
Outside of this, there are Korok seeds to find, Shrines to complete, and various enemies to fight. You will need to complete all four Shrines on the Great Sky Island in order to progress however, so make sure to carry on reading to see all of the Great Sky Island Shrine locations.
