How many Lightroots are there in Tears of the Kingdom?

120. The game has 120 Lightroot map markers, one under each surface shrine.

How do you find Lightroots?

Look up the shrine above it. Every Lightroot is within about 25 map units of the spot directly below a surface shrine, and its name is that shrine name backwards: Jochi-ihiga Shrine sits over Agihi-ihcoj Lightroot.

Q: What do you get for lighting every Lightroot?

The Dispelling Darkness Medal. The game describes it as “an award for one who has conquered the darkness by lighting up every lightroot.”

The Depths are pitch black until you light them. Lightroots are the lamps: the game says that when you touch one, “the lightroot dispelled the darkness and brightened the surrounding area.” This page lists all 120 with their official names, locations and the shrine above each.

How do Lightroots work?

Light. Touching a Lightroot lights up the area around it — the Depths stay dark everywhere else.
Gloom. A game tip: “If you suffer the effects of gloom, you can return to the surface or visit a lightroot to recover from it.”

How do you find a Lightroot?

Use the shrine map. Every Lightroot lies under a surface shrine — the map data puts each one within about 25 map units of the spot directly below its shrine — and its name is the shrine’s name spelled backwards: Jochi-ihiga Shrine sits over Agihi-ihcoj Lightroot. So the all shrine locations list is also a Lightroot map. The sky shrines have no Lightroot.
