Hidden deep within the Tabantha Frontier, the Iun-orok Shrine challenges players with shifting platforms, timed jumps, and clever physics puzzles. This guide explains how to reach it, solve every puzzle, and claim its Spirit Orb reward with ease.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Iun-orok Shrine location
Iun-orok Shrine is situated in the Tabantha Frontier region, southwest of Rito Village. You can find it inside Tanagar Canyon, near the coordinates (-3539, 0853, -0133). The quickest route is to glide down from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower; mark the canyon’s edge on your map before setting out. The shrine is partially hidden within a rocky area, so keep an eye out for its green glow as you approach from the canyon rim.
Iun-orok Shrine is found within the Tabantha Frontier region. Its exact location is (-3538, 0853, -0133). The closest tower is the Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower quite a bit to the northeast. Tabantha Bridge Stable and Makurukis Shrine are much closer.
To find this shrine, you’ll have to head into Tanagar Canyon West Cave at the bottom of the canyon below Tabantha Bridge. Navigating the cave involves smashing through a lot of rock walls. Like, a lot of them. Make sure to bring along equipment like hammer weapons and bomb flowers, Zonaitime bombs and cannons, and – if you’ve completed the ‘Yunobo of Goron City’ main quest – have the Vow of Yunobo active.
Glide down from the north side of the bridge and cross to the west wall of the canyon. Just a little north, you should spot a Blupee that will lead you into the cave.
Smash your way generally west and then northwest to reach the shrine. Make sure you turn on your Shrine Sensor to keep yourself pointed in the right direction.
Iun-orok Shrine walkthrough
The Iun-orok Shrine features a puzzle built around precise timing and ball movement. Use Recall to reverse the ball’s path and position it correctly, then control its momentum to reach the goal. Watch the ball’s pattern carefully and use the nearby launch mechanism to send it toward the target. Once it connects, a gate opens, revealing the chest and the final altar at the end of the shrine.
Iun-orok Shrine is, at its core, a challenge about rolling balls down ramps, but it’s so much more infuriating than that.
1. When you enter Iun-orok Shrine, you’ll come to a ramp with a target at the bottom, and a large metal ball to your left.
2. Grab the ball with Ultrahand, place it near the top of the ramp, and let it go.
3. Through the gate that opens, you’ll find two balls on your right and a ramp that is rotated 90°.
4. Attach the balls together side by side, and then place that assembly on the ramp so that one ball sits on either side of the peak.
5. In the next room, you’ll find three balls of increasing size ahead of you and a winding ramp off to your right.
6. Before we deal with the ramp, use the balls to make a ladder up to the pillar in the left corner. Open the chest there for a bundle of 10 arrows. (You can also just make yourself an elevator with the smallest ball, Ultrahand, and Recall.)
7. Ostensibly, your task with the ramp is to assemble the balls in such a way that they’ll roll down the ramp and hit the target. After far too much effort, we never got this to work.
8. Instead, assemble the balls into a snowman shape by stacking them in decreasing size.
9. Carry that down to the end of the ramp and tip it away from you.
How to reach Tanagar Canyon West Cave from Tabantha Great Bridge
From the Tabantha Great Bridge, head north along the canyon edge to descend into Tanagar Canyon, then locate the Tanagar Canyon West Cave entrance on the western side near Piper Ridge at approximately (-3312, 0788, -0101).
Travel Steps
Launch from the Tabantha Bridge Stable (near the bridge at -2919, 0545, 0169) using the Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower to the northeast for a high glide southwest into the canyon. Alternatively, ride or walk north along the canyon rim from the stable, then drop down carefully or paraglide to the cave mouth below the bridge, watching for a nearby Blupee as a landmark. The cave lies directly north of the bridge at the canyon bottom, past mushroom-shaped trees and overlooking the chasm.
Preparation Tips
Stock up on rock-breaking tools like Bomb Flowers, hammers, or Yunobo’s Vow for the cave’s multiple cracked walls ahead. Makurukis Shrine (-2846, 0630, 0233) nearby serves as a fast-travel point before dropping down.
Best route to Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower from the bridge
From the Tabantha Great Bridge (near Tabantha Bridge Stable at roughly -2919, 0545, 0169), the best route to Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower involves heading southeast across open fields and hills in the Hyrule Ridge region.
Step-by-Step Route
Travel south from the stable along dirt paths past Foothill Stable, avoiding combat with roaming bokoblins where possible. Continue east-southeast toward the tower’s lake island at coordinates (-1919, 1241, 0273), crossing small streams and climbing low ridges-horseback speeds this up significantly. Expect about 5-10 minutes on foot or 3-5 by horse, steering clear of the nearby monster camps.
Tower Access
At the tower’s southwest Hudson Construction site, use Ultrahand to fuse 3-5 large wooden planks end-to-end into a bridge spanning the surrounding water to the rock platform. Walk or run across, then activate the tower entrance-full stamina helps for any final climb, but the bridge minimizes it.
