Tukarok Shrine hides a clever contraption puzzle that can easily drain your zonai devices if you rush in unprepared. Here’s the exact route to its Hyrule Field location, how to move the orb across rails and rivers without wasting resources, and the simple trick that turns its final room from frustrating to satisfying.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Tukarok Shrine location
Tukarok Shrine is found in the Lanayru Wetlands region, just southeast of Lookout Landing. The exact coordinates are around 0915, -0250, 0035, placing it near the Wetland Stable and the main road leading toward Kakariko Village. This shrine sits close to a riverbank, so players may need to cross shallow water or use nearby materials to reach it safely. Its location makes it a convenient stop while exploring early eastern Hyrule.
The Tukarok Shrine can be found in the Lanayru Wetlands, due east of the Wetland Stable South Well, which in turn is east of Lookout Landing. Beware the Moblin boss here, which is part of a side quest you initiate at the stables – even if you have four hearts, it can kill you with a single swing. The exact coordinates of the Tukarok Shrine are (0915, -0250, 0035).
Tukarok Shrine walkthrough
Tukarok Shrine features a series of puzzles focused on moving a ball across gaps using different contraptions. Use Ultrahand to attach the ball to carts, platforms, and levers to transport it through the shrine. Each section introduces new mechanics, such as rails and rotating devices, that test your control and timing. After guiding the ball to its final position, place it in the socket to reveal the altar and claim the Light of Blessing as your reward.
There are four parts to this shrine: three puzzle rooms and the final goal. The plan is to get a metal ball through each of the three rooms and into a central corridor to open the final 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 it’s situated just in front of the lava pit, pointing in the direction of travel (use the arrows on the wheels as a guide).
2. Jump on board and hit the wheels with your sword when you’re ready to roll.
3. Once you’ve crossed the lava, detach the ball and carry it through to the next room. There are multiple solutions for the following section; here’s how we solved it.
4. Start by ignoring the Zonai device. Attach the ball to the block on the righthand side of the room, and then move it to the end of the track – once you let go, it will slide down. Don’t worry about that; go to the end of the room and climb the ladder.
5. From the top of the platform you can Rewind the block to bring it back up to you. Quickly grab and detach the ball and you’re sorted. (If you’re struggling with this section, an alternate solution is to attach the ball to the slab on the left side of the room and move it up the grills, but this is slightly more fiddly.)
6. Again, carry the ball into the next room and attach it to the cart with wheels. Before doing anything else, stop and go treasure hunting!
7. Look in the water to the left of the room (if you’re looking across the water) and use Ultrahand to spot the chest. It will glow handily so you shouldn’t struggle to spot it. Fish it out of the water for a strong Zonaite sword.
8. 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 chuck the cart in the water without them, it’s going nowhere.
9. Repeat on the other side and drop the cart in the water. Jump on and, once ready, slap the wheel with your sword and watch your paddle power its way across the water. (If you fall off, you can climb the ladder on the left of the room and run across the walkway.)
10. Final stretch! Detach the ball and place it on the obvious button that is obvious.
How to get the orb past the lava section in Tukarok Shrine
Tukarok Shrine’s lava section requires using a vehicle to safely transport the orb across the molten pool. Grab the large orb with Ultrahand and attach it to the center of the nearby cart-like vehicle positioned in the corner. Ensure the wheels’ arrows face toward the lava, then climb aboard and strike a wheel with your weapon to activate forward motion, carrying you both across.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Glide or ladder down to the orb by the lava pool at the shrine’s rear, ignoring initial gates.
-
Position the loaded cart at the lava’s edge, hop on, and activate by hitting a wheel-ride until it stops at the opposite ledge.
-
Detach the orb with Ultrahand (wiggle the right stick if stuck), then carry it forward to the next area.
This straightforward vehicle method emphasizes forward force, the shrine’s theme, and avoids complex builds.
Build a safe vehicle to carry the orb across lava quickly
To build a safe vehicle for quickly carrying the orb across the lava in Tukarok Shrine’s first section, use the pre-placed cart in the corner near the lava pit as your base. Pick up the large orb from its pedestal with Ultrahand, then attach it securely to the center of the cart’s flatbed to prevent it from rolling off [ from previous].
Quick Build Steps
-
Grab a Zonai Wheel from the dispenser nearby (ensure the arrow on it points forward, toward the lava). Attach one wheel to the back end of the cart using Ultrahand for propulsion [ from previous].
-
Position the loaded cart right at the lava’s edge, climb on top (or stand beside it), and hit the wheel once with your melee weapon to spin it up-this sends the cart surging straight across the lava in seconds without sinking or tipping [ from previous][ from previous].
-
Jump off when it reaches the far ledge; the orb stays intact, then detach and carry it onward.
This simple one-wheel upgrade makes the cart fast and stable, embodying the “Forward Force” theme without needing extra parts [ from previous].
