By James On May 13, 2023

Tukarok Shrine is a shrine within The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s Lanayru wetlands region.

Our guide will help you find the location of the Tukarok Shrine, solve the puzzles and take you through the “Forward Force” trial (may it be with you) so you can collect the chest and Light of blessing.

When you’re ready, our shrine locations page can direct you to another nearby shrine to tackle.

The Tukarok Shrine is found in the Lanayru Wetlands due east of the Wetland Stable South Wellwhich in turn is east of Lookout landing. Watch out for the Moblin boss here, which is part of a side quest you start in the stables – even if you have four hearts, he can kill you with a single swing. The exact coordinates of the Tukarok Shrine are: 0915, -0250, 0035

Tukarok Shrine Solution part 1

This shrine consists of four parts: three puzzle rooms and the ultimate goal. The plan is to get a metal ball through each of the three rooms and into a central hallway to open the last room.

1. Start by running forward and jumping down to find a cart and a ball. Attach the ball to the cart with Ultrahand and move it so that it is right in front of the lava pit, pointing in the direction of travel (use the arrows on the wheels as a guide).

Link uses Ultrahand to attach an orb to a cart in the Tukarok Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

2. Jump aboard and hit the wheels with your sword when you’re ready to roll.

Tukarok Shrine Solution Part 2

1. Once you cross the lava, detach the ball and carry it to the next room. There are multiple solutions for the next section; here’s how we solved it.

Link uses Ultrahand to carry a giant ball into the Tukarok Shrine of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

2. Start ignoring the Zonai device. Attach the ball to the block on the right side of the room and move it to the end of the track – once you release it, it will slide down. Don’t worry about that; go to the end of the room and climb the ladder.

Link slides an orb down a rail in the Tukarok Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

3. From the top of the platform you can rewind the block to bring it back to you. Quickly grab the ball and untie it and you’re sorted. (If you’re struggling with this part, an alternative solution is to attach the ball to the plate on the left side of the room and move it along the grids, but this is a little trickier.)

Tukarok Shrine Solution Part 3

1. Carry the ball to the next room again and attach it to the wheeled cart. Before you do anything else, stop and go on a treasure hunt!

2. Look into the water to the left of the room (when facing the water) and use Ultra handy to spot the chest. It will handily glow, so you shouldn’t struggle to spot it. Fish it out of the water for one strong Zonaite sword.

Link uses Ultrahand to retrieve a chest from the water in the Tukarok Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

3. Back to work. Grab the small plank behind you and attach it to the wheel of the cart. You’re basically making paddles here – if you throw the cart in the water without them, it won’t go anywhere.

Link uses Ultrahand to connect a ball to a raft in the Tukarok Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

4. Repeat on the other side and drop the cart into the water. Jump on and when you’re ready, hit the handlebars with your sword and watch your paddle make its way across the water. (If you fall off, you can climb the ladder on the left side of the room and run across the walkway.)
