In this guide, we’ll explore the Ze Kasho Shrine in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, offering tips on its location, puzzle solutions, and rewards.
Finding Ze Kasho Shrine: Location and Korok Seed Bonus
To get to the Ze Kasho Shrine you need to travel east from the Akkala Tower. If you’re near Tarrey Town or Lake Akkala, then you are in luck, you are pretty close to it! The shrine lies on a high bank above the South Akkala Stable, a short distance northwest from a T intersection.
Ze Kasho Shrine: Ze Kasho Apparatus
Upon entering the Ze Kasho Shrine, prepare yourself for a puzzle challenge that requires you to use motion controls. This shrine is designed to test your dexterity and precision, using a device that can manipulate platforms and objects.
First Step: Moving the Spikes
To begin the puzzle, the spikes blocking your progress to the next room need to be moved. Start the central motion device and lean it forward, followed by a shift to either the left or right. Let go, re-engage to bring it back to the center, then let go once more. The spikes will no longer obstruct your path, allowing secure passage across the bridge in Ze Kasho Shrine.
Second Step: Dodging the Lasers
The puzzle’s second step involves avoiding lasers, projected by four groups of laser diodes, and a master switch located in the middle of the platform. Target the switch with an arrow and move to the position of the switch so you can see your next mini assignment. Next, to activate the switch from the left side you can use sword, club, or any similar. Also, you should move quickly so you are not harmed by the lasers. You can always use the rotating blocks providing temporary protection. In the end, if you find safe zone or a moment you can target the switch from the safe middle zone. Oh, do not forget about the gap, you don’t want to fall inside of it.
Third Step: Getting the Chest
To access the chest located on the elevated ledge, you need to hit it with your arrows and quickly jump onto the revolving block. Here as well you need to time it perfectly, so you can avoid the lasers and make sure you don’t end in the depths bellow. Once reaching the revolving block, perform a maximum height jump and glide toward the ledge. The chest can now be opened to procure a Silverscale Spear.
Fourth Step: Balancing the Balls
An interesting pinball mini game is the next step. It might look and feel more challenging, but there is no need to panic. You have to be patient and develop a tactic that can help you beat this challenge. If you accidentally drop the balls from the platform, again – no need for panic; substitute balls will appear from the ramp on your left. Once all three switches illuminate blue, the final gate will unlock, enabling you to complete the task and obtain your subsequent BotW Spirit Orb.
Rewards and Takeaways
Successfully navigating through the Ze Kasho Shrine will bring reward you with some shiny loot. Make sure you open the chest to secure a Silverscale Spear. Also, you will get Spirit Orb useful for boosting your capabilities.
