When you reach the Spring of Wisdom in Zelda TotK, you will find NPC Nazbi near a campfire. Talking to him will start the High Spring and The Light Ring Quest in Zelda TotK.

Before you go any further, look left while facing the switch you just activated and you will see a Zonaite Shield fused with a sled. This shield will make the perfect snowboard for you. Now all that’s left is to complete the race and reveal the Zakusu Shrine in Zelda TOTK.

Head over to the slope and equip the shield, jump and press ZL to start Shield Surfing. To complete the race, you must follow the green rings. The moment you cross the first ring, you will start gliding down.

Remember to open your paraglider before impact so that you don’t sustain fall damage. Once you are on the ground, just follow the path of rings and take tight turns to maintain your speed and ultimately the race will be finished after 6 to 7 rings and Zakusu Shrine will reveal itself in Legend of Zelda TotK.
