In Gatakis Shrine, players don’t have to use any of the new abilities inTears of the Kingdom. This Shrine is based on wind gustsand the Paragliderand Link’s ability to control himself mid-air. But it’s no walk in the park – or flight through the park – thanks to the Shrine’s lasers, Constructs, and other obstacles.
Gatakis Shrine Walkthrough – “Ride The Winds”
When players enter Gatakis Shrine, they will see a huge gust of wind just ahead, pointing down another hallway to the right. Jump off the ledge at the end of the stairs and open the paraglider to glide to the platform beneath this gust of wind. Players will immediately notice that the wind is aimed downa hallway crisscrossed with lasers.

The wind here is pretty powerful and will propel Link faster than one might expect – in fact,he will hardly lose any height while paragliding inside the gust. Aim for the side of the interlaced lasers, then glide back to the center through the two vertical lasers.
Link will land on another platform that leads to another room. Here, there is a big circular pit with a slowly rotating fan-like structure in its center. There’sa gap in about a third of the fan, so jump down this pit andaim Link for this gapas it rotates around.
At the bottom, Link will land on a frozen platform.Jump on this several times to shatter itand fall into an even lower room with strong vertical gusts of wind that willpush Link back upward.
Look around this room to see two places Link can land –a platform with a Construct Captain and a chest and the end of the Shrine. Simply pull out the paraglider and ride these gusts of wind to propel Link to the end and pick up another Light of Blessing.
How To Get The Chest In Gatakis Shrine
There is only one chest in Gatakis Shrine, andit’s found at the very end, sodon’t worry about checking every nook and crannyof the Shrine’s many rooms to find it. In the final room with the vertical gusts of wind,Link will see a jutting platform with the Gatakis Shrine chestand its guardian Construct.
Players can choose to fight the Construct for aZonai Chargeand some craftable materials or glide over to the exit without engaging this enemy.
Pull out the paraglider once Link drops into this room, thensimply glide towards this platformto open the chest. Inside is aStrong Construct Bow, with a base 11 damage.
