The Zakusu Shrine is arguably one of the most unique Shrines to be completed in the Kingdom of Hyrule.
Most Tears of the Kingdom Shrine locations excluding the ones a part of the Rauru’s Blessing trial have their own puzzles and challenges linked to them that lead to the completion of the Shrine. However, that’s not the case with the Zakusu Shrine.
In fact, you must complete the High Spring and Light Rings side quest which is a challenge quest where you must Shield Surf to summon the Shrine while making sure that you finish the quest within the given time.
To help you complete The High Spring and The Light Rings shrine quest and the Zakusu Shrine, we have prepared the following Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Zakusu Shrine guide for you.

How to complete the Zakusu Shrine in Zelda: TotK
The Zakusu Shrine is a Proven Ground: Ascension and possesses a lot of familiar glimpses of the memories you had from Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
You will start the challenge with a minimum set of clothes, no shield, and will simply be equipped with a Bow. Throughout the trial, you must use your Bow to one-shot kill the Constructs surrounding the area.
Once you have cleared the ground level, use the Rockets behind the red laser using your Ultrahand ability to reach the platform above and kill the Constructs there as well. Repeat the process till you reach the final level above.
There is an Air Balloon to which you can attach the candle to and float your way to the Door above which is blocked by a flamethrowing Construct.
This will be your final Construct of the area and dodging its Flames will grant you Flurry Rush that kills it on the spot thus unlocking the gate to the Shrine and completing the Zakusu Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
