Hidden deep within Hyrule’s wild plains, the Tsutsu-um Shrine challenges players with a clever mix of motion puzzles and timing precision. This guide breaks down the shrine’s location, puzzle solutions, and best strategies to clear it quickly and claim your reward.
Tsutsu-um Shrinelocation
Tsutsu-um Shrine sits along a quiet riverside path, where a careful sequence of moves reveals the shrine’s puzzle clues and rewards.
Tsutsu-um Shrine is in the Hyrule Field region to the west-southwest of Hyrule Field Skyview Tower just past the Coliseum Ruins.
The exact coordinates are (-1422, -1350, 0068).
Tsutsu-um Shrinewalkthrough
Tsutsu-um Shrine features a puzzle centered on controlling water flow to manipulate floating platforms. Players must use Ultrahand to move and position objects that help redirect water streams, allowing access to higher areas and the shrine’s main chamber. Precision and timing matter, as the puzzles require adjusting water levels to enable progress toward the Light of Blessing.
In Tsutsu-um Shrine, you’ll use stakes and panels attached to stakes to guide a ball into a hole. (It sounds simpler than it is.)
1. There’s a lot going on ahead of you as you walk into Tsutsu-um Shrine, but we’ll take it in steps.
2. To the left, there’s panel on the floor next to a panel-stake combination. There’s also a piston hanging from the ceiling that’s moving up and down. Grab the panel with Ultrahand and place it on the stake sticking out of the left side of the piston.
3. Grab the panel-stake and place it in the piston when it’s at its lowest point – this will create a platform you can ride like a lift.
4. Climb on and ride it up. Drop off onto the platform behind the piston. Pull both panel-stake assemblies off of the piston and carry them over to the right, past the updraft vent, then place them on the metal platform in front of the big, spinning wheel.
5. Ride the updraft up, and glide to the pillar behind the piston to find a chest with a bundle of arrows inside.
6. Ride the updraft up again, and aim your glide toward the metal platform farther to the right. There’s a second, smaller metal platform above the larger one – that’s where you’re going.
7. Your goal here is to place the panels and stakes in such a way so the ball is directed down, onto the ramp, and then over to the large wheel.
8. Look at the wall directly in front of the chute where the ball comes out. There’s a stake there – you can leave it right there. Grab one of the panel-stakes, and rotate it 45° (or 90°) clockwise to stop the ball.
9. Grab one of the stakes and place it to pin the spinning stone see-saw in place so that it’s sloping down to the right.
10. You might have to tweak the positions a little, but this will guide the ball into the tray in front of the large wheel.
11. Once the ball is in the tray, grab one of the stake-panel combinations.
12. With the stake-panel combination horizontal, place it in the spinning wheel on the left side (at the 9 o’clock position). The goal here is to have it sweep through the tray and push the ball into the bowl.
Best route to reach Tsutsu-um Shrine from Outskirt Stable
Tsutsu-um Shrine Location from Outskirt Stable
Tsutsu-um Shrine lies southeast of Outskirt Stable on a prominent hill overlooking the stable in Hyrule Field.
Recommended Travel Route
Head directly south from Outskirt Stable toward a nearby cliff or rocky slope just beyond the stable’s perimeter. Climb the hill using standard climbing mechanics, leveraging stamina fruits or elixirs if needed to reach the shrine entrance at coordinates -1423, -1349, 0068.
Tips for Efficient Approach
Traveling on horseback speeds up the short journey across the open field. Alternatively, fast travel to Hyrule Field Skyview Tower then glide southwest toward the hill for a quicker aerial approach if the tower is unlocked. Avoid circling west toward Coliseum Ruins, as the direct southeast path minimizes elevation gain and enemy encounters.
Fastest walking path from Outskirt Stable to the shrine
Tsutsu-um Shrine sits on a hilltop directly southeast of Outskirt Stable, making it visible from the stable’s vicinity in Hyrule Field.
Fastest Walking Path
Exit Outskirt Stable and head straight southeast across the open field for about 100-150 meters toward the obvious rocky slope or cliff base just beyond the stable’s fenced area. Follow the natural gentle incline up the hill, sticking to the left side to avoid steeper drops; the path requires minimal stamina as elevation gain is gradual.
Path Tips
Walking this direct route takes roughly 1-2 minutes on foot, dodging sparse grass and minor rocky outcrops without combat risks. Eat stamina-restoring items like Stamella Shrooms if low on gauge during the short climb to the shrine entrance at -1423, -1349, 0068.
