Unlike the other Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Shrine locations, Taunhiy Shrine is a sort of hidden one that can be found on Central Hyrule Sky.
This shrine can only be revealed after completing the Dive Ceremony at Courage Island in the same region. The internal challenges of Taunhiy Shrine are designed to train the players to aim at enemies while floating in the air.
Our guide will help you uncover the Taunhiy Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and complete its trial to receive the Light of Blessing as a reward.
Taunhiy Shrine Location in Zelda: TotK
The Taunhiy shrine unlocks at the bottom of Courage Island, a part of Hyrule Ridge Sky. You can access this place by going to Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower. Make your way to the tower and stand on the central button to launch yourself into the sky.
When you reach quite high in the air, look around to see a hollow stone-ring-like Island. Start gliding toward this Island to land on its top. This is where you will find Taunhiy Shrine in Zelda: Totk.
Complete the Dive Ceremony at Courage Island
As soon as you set foot on Courage Island (-2183, 0966, 1637) and examine the green hologram, the Dive Ceremony will start. You will simply have to dive through several green rings, eventually leading to the bottom of the island.
Go to the edge and jump into the first ring. You can dive to travel faster, but deploy your paraglider if you seem out of line. While dropping down from above, make sure that no ring is missed.
As you cross the last ring and land on the lower ground, the ceremony will be completed, and Taunhiy Shrine (-2402, 0825, 0629) will reveal itself right before you. Link will receive a Glide Shirt as a reward for finishing the ceremony successfully. This shirt offers improved mobility while gliding through the air.
Taunhiy Shrine Walkthrough
Upon successfully completing the Dive Ceremony of Courage Island, Taunhiy Shrine will appear and allow Link to take its challenge. The challenge presented to you in this shrine is Combat Training: Archery.
This trial is all about attacking enemies with your arrows while you are airborne. This is a basic game mechanism that allows you to stop time at the expense of your stamina. However, it improves your chance of hitting an enemy’s weak spot.
1. Pick up a bow and use the updraft of air in the room to get airborne.
2. Draw your bow by pressing and holding the ZR button.
3. Aim at the construct’s eyes and let go of the button to kill it.
4. During the next phase, you need to hit 3 enemies with your arrows while you are in the air. No other attack will work.
5. Once you kill all the enemies, the door to the altar room will open. Collect the Strong Construct Bow from the treasure chest and interact with Rauru and Sonia’s statues to obtain a Light of Blessing.
