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.

TypeQuestsStarted by
Crystal quests (named “The … Crystal”)21Mysterious Voice at a sealed shrine
Character quests7Laissa, Damia, Zooki, Maca, Hagie, Nazbi, Baddek
Steward Construct riddles2A Steward Construct beside ruins
Notebook riddle1A notebook in Tobio’s Hollow Cave

Where the shrine isQuests

Surface, inside a cave8
Sky10

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?

GroupWhy it gets missedQuests
Sky crystalsThe shrine sits on a sky island you may never land onThe 10 quests with “Sky” or “Sky Mine” in the name
Hidden shrinesNothing stands on the spot until you solve the riddleDyeing to Find It, Keys Born of Water, The High Spring and the Light Rings, Legend of the Soaring Spear
Unreachable on footMaca’s shrine is in the Lost Woods fog; you have to come down from the skyMaca’s Special Place
UnderwaterThe shrine is at the bottom of Lake HyliaThe 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.

FAQ

How many Shrine Quests are in Tears of the Kingdom?
There are 31 Shrine Quests in the Adventure Log. 21 of them are named after a crystal, and the other 10 start from a character, a Steward Construct or a notebook.

No. Our shrine data lists 51 Rauru's Blessing shrines, but only 28 of them are tied to a Shrine Quest. The other 23 never get an entry on the Shrine Quests tab.
Which Tears of the Kingdom Shrine Quests are easiest to miss?
