Located on the right side of the Rito Village staircase entrance, it’s a necessary teleportation point. Its location near the Rito Village shrine also means having a shortcut on hand for turning in your Light Blessings, so you’ll certainly want to spend the time challenging this shrine.
How To Complete Gatakis Shrine: Ride The Winds
From the start,jump with your paragliderto glide over onto the far platform. There are no gimmicks here, soride acrosswithout issue.
Turning around the corner is where things begin to heat up.
You’ll notice several lasers down the hallway ahead. Additionally, there is a fan behind you blowing a strong windthat willincrease your gliding speed.
The goal here is tomaneuver through the lasersto the other side without getting hit. The most fail-safe strategy here isto stick to the right side window-gapwithout getting too close to the wall.
You may also slide along the left side wall, butdeviating even slightly from the wall will get you hitby the final laser narrowly hugging the left side.
Around the corner and in the next room is a giant fan.Jump into it and take out your sail to get a good bearing first.
Your goal is tofall down through the moving open hole.Let go of the paraglider to dive into it, deploying it only when you’ve mistimed yourself and need to reset.
Inside the next room is a large box-like structure with a frozen circleat the top. Either land on it orshoot it with an arrow to break it.
With the ice broken, you’llfall into the next chamberfilled with enemies.
Each of the enemies is a Zonai equipped with a bow. The first one on your left and the closest to you guards a chest with aStrong Construct Bow. Take it if needed.
As you enter the chamber, you can eithersnipe the remaining enemies with your bowor land on their respective platforms todeal with them in melee.They typically each drop arrows if you find yourself without.
Either way, once defeated, you must pass through into the next chamberthrough the open window in the wall.
However, thefan will push you upwardsso long as you have the paraglider. Therefore, in order to pass through, you’ll need totime letting go of your paraglider to dive into the window.
Once through the window,deploy your paraglideragain andrise to the topwhere you can finally end this shrine, take its blessing, and return to the land of Hyrule and your adventure.
