Nakuta Shrine

Maren's Tip

Remember — if a shrine gives Rauru's Blessing with no puzzle inside, the real challenge was reaching the entrance. Check the surrounding area!

Walkthrough

1. Step 1: Enter Nakuta Shrine in the Sky region and survey the layout.
2. The entry platform holds three stone blocks of different sizes — small (approximately 1 meter), medium (approximately 2 meters), and large (approximately 4 meters in length).
3. The altar sits on an adjacent platform separated by a gap roughly 3.5 meters wide — too far to jump across even with a running start.
4. Step 2: The solution is bridging.
5. Use Ultrahand to grab the largest block (4 meters long) and rotate it so its longest axis runs perpendicular to the gap, spanning from one platform edge to the other.
6. Lower it carefully to rest on both platform edges simultaneously.
7. The block must overlap each edge by at least 30 centimeters on both sides to create a stable bridge — if it is too far to one side, it tips and falls into the void below.
8. Step 3: Walk across the large block bridge to the adjacent platform.
9. Move at walking speed, not sprinting — the block surface is slightly narrow and a sprint can cause you to veer off the edge.
10. Step 4: On the adjacent platform, a second smaller gap (about 1.5 meters wide) separates you from the altar corridor.
11. Return to the entry platform via your bridge and grab the medium block with Ultrahand.
12. Carry it across the bridge and lay it across this second gap as a micro-bridge.
13. The medium block spans this narrower gap with plenty of overlap on both sides.
14. Step 5: Before crossing to the altar, collect the treasure chest on the entry platform.
15. It sits near the right wall, partially behind the small block, and contains a Zonai Charge (restores one-third of your Zonai battery — useful for the Sky region's many device-heavy challenges).
16. Step 6: Cross the micro-bridge and walk to the altar at the end of the connected platform.
17. Claim your Light of Blessing.
18. Hidden chest: The Zonai Charge near the right wall of the entry platform, partially obscured by the small block.
19. Ability needed: Ultrahand is the only ability required.
20. This shrine tests basic block rotation and gap-bridging — a foundational Ultrahand skill used in dozens of shrines and overworld puzzles throughout the game.
21. Pro tip: The small block (which you did not need for either bridge) can be used as a stepping stone if you want to reach a slightly elevated ledge on the adjacent platform's wall — there is a hidden Korok seed location just above it, visible as a sparkling leaf pattern.
