Tears of the Kingdom Shrine Quests: All 31, Crystals Included
All 31 Tears of the Kingdom Shrine Quests by region, with the 21 crystal quests: who starts each, which shrine it opens, and whether it is on land or in the sky.
How many Shrine Quests are there?
Tears of the Kingdom has 31 Shrine Quests on the Adventure Log’s Shrine Quests tab. That count covers log entries only: other shrines, including 23 more Rauru’s Blessing rooms, never show up on that tab. The tables below group all 31 by the same regions as our shrine location list.
| Type | Quests | Started by |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal quests (named “The … Crystal”) | 21 | Mysterious Voice at a sealed shrine |
| Character quests | 7 | Laissa, Damia, Zooki, Maca, Hagie, Nazbi, Baddek |
| Steward Construct riddles | 2 | A Steward Construct beside ruins |
| Notebook riddle | 1 | A notebook in Tobio’s Hollow Cave |
| Total | 31 |
| Where the shrine is | Quests |
|---|---|
| Surface, in the open | 13 |
| Surface, inside a cave | 8 |
| Sky | 10 |
28 of the 31 quests lead to a Rauru’s Blessing room: a chest and the Light of Blessing, with no puzzle inside. The other three open regular trials: Wao-os Shrine (Lever Power), Zakusu Shrine (Proving Grounds: Ascension) and Mayanas Shrine (The Ice Guides You). The Great Sky Island has no Shrine Quests.
Which Shrine Quests are easiest to miss?
| Group | Why it gets missed | Quests |
|---|---|---|
| Sky crystals | The shrine sits on a sky island you may never land on | The 10 quests with “Sky” or “Sky Mine” in the name |
| Hidden shrines | Nothing stands on the spot until you solve the riddle | Dyeing to Find It, Keys Born of Water, The High Spring and the Light Rings, Legend of the Soaring Spear |
| Unreachable on foot | Maca’s shrine is in the Lost Woods fog; you have to come down from the sky | Maca’s Special Place |
| Underwater | The shrine is at the bottom of Lake Hylia | The Lake Hylia Crystal |
Korok Forest is worth a dedicated stop: three of the seven character quests start there, from Damia, Zooki and Maca. The two Steward Construct riddles are also easy to overlook, because the construct stands beside ruins rather than in a town.
How to read the tables
Layer says whether the shrine is on the surface, inside a cave or in the sky. Given by is whoever starts the quest; “Mysterious Voice” means it starts at the sealed shrine itself. Each shrine name links to its walkthrough. To plot them, use the interactive shrine map or read the shrine map guide.
