Hidden deep within the Hebra Mountains, the Rotsumamu Shrine challenges your wit and precision with a clever puzzle built around motion and momentum. Here’s how to find it and solve every step inside to claim your rewards.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Rotsumamu Shrine location
Rotsumamu Shrine sits on the southern edge of the Gerudo Highlands, at coordinates (-3882, -2449, 0383). Players reach it by heading southwest from the Gerudo Highland Skyview Tower or paragliding down from the main Gerudo Highlands plateau. The shrine entrance appears as a standard stone archway against the rocky cliffs, marked clearly on the map after activating nearby shrines or towers. Fast travel to the closest point like the Mount Granajh shrine base simplifies access amid the high elevation.
Rotsumamu Shrine is found within the Gerudo Highlands region. Its exact location is (-3407, -1362, 0335).
You might recognize this location as where you fought Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan in Breath of the Wild. You’ll find this shrine (and chasm to the Depths) directly east of the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower.
Rotsumamu Shrine walkthrough
Rotsumamu Shrine features a timing-based puzzle that focuses on launching objects with precise aim. Use the surrounding launchers to propel spheres toward targets, adjusting angles and power to trigger each mechanism. Watch how platforms and barriers shift after each successful hit to create new paths forward. Once all targets are struck, a final launcher gives access to the end chamber containing the Light of Blessing.
Rotsumamu Shrine lets you have a little fun with seesaws (or teeter-totters – long planks that rotate on a pivot) and counterweights.
1. As you enter Rotsumamu Shrine, run up the ramp ahead of you (it’s technically your first seesaw). It will start to tip as you get to the end, so be ready to jump.
2. At the second ramp, use Ultrahand to grab the nearby metal barrel and attach it to the elevated end of the ramp. That will weigh it down so you can run up.
3. When you reach the next seesaw, there will be a large metal cube and a panel on your left. Stick them together like in the image above.
4. Climb onto the seesaw, and attach your assembly perpendicular to the upper end. Your goal is to make a walkway over to the chest in the back corner. Go open it for a large Zonaite.
5. Unstick the cube and panel and reassemble them like you did before. Your goal here is to make the non-weighted end of the seesaw longer.
6. Attach the cube-and-panel assembly to the end of the seesaw with the cube to the left.
How to reach Rotsumamu Shrine from Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower
Rotsumamu Shrine lies due east of the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Travel requires cold resistance gear or elixirs due to the snowy conditions.
Launch from Tower
Activate the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower on Meadela’s Mantle, then launch eastward toward coordinates around -3407, -1362, 0335. The shrine sits below a ledge near the Yiga Clan Hideout Chasm, recognizable by its glowing green entrance.
Gliding Path
Paraglide directly east from the launch apex, aiming for the chasm and shrine area below-no climbing needed. Land on the snowy ledge east of the former Yiga Hideout pit for quick access.
Alternate Approach
Walk southeast from the chasm if already nearby, avoiding Yiga foes by gliding over. Fast travel unlocks after first visit.
Best time of day to glide from Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower
Daytime offers the best conditions for gliding from Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nighttime brings freezing temperatures that drain stamina faster without adequate cold resistance and spawns stronger enemies on landing [conversation_history].
Weather Factors
Rain or storms, more common during certain day periods, make surfaces slippery and reduce glide control-wait for clear skies shown on the map. Daytime visibility aids spotting Rotsumamu Shrine east at coordinates around -3407, -1362, 0335.
Stamina Tips
Launch eastward around midday for optimal height (tower peaks at ~1965m), maximizing paraglide distance to the shrine without wing devices. Equip stamina food and cold gear regardless of time.
