How to complete Ishodag Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Ishodag Shrine should hopefully be one of the earliest shrines that you come across in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It’s located in Hyrule Field, and can be found just west of the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower.

You can go up Lookout Landing Skyview Tower and simply land by the Shrine, or you can run on over if you fancy collecting some materials along the way.

In the first room of the Ishodag Shrine, grab the Fan Zonai Device and place it upright beside the wall. Link can then hit it with a weapon to activate it.

Stand on top of the fan and get out your glider to then reach the next area of the shrine.

In this area, you’ll find another Fan Zonai Device and a plank of wood. Place the plank of wood flat in the water, and attach the fan to the back of it, as shown below.

Hit the fan with a weapon to get it working, and Link can then sail to the other side of the room.

In the third and final area of the shrine, you’ll want to attach both the nearby Fan Zonai Devices to the underneath of the metal platform.

In the third area of the Ishodag Shrine, there’ll be a platform in front of you, and two Fan Zonai Devices. On the right will be a seesaw mechanism with a chest on top of it.

Using the Ultrahand ability, attach one of the fans to the underneath of the seesaw, as far to the right as possible.
