Sinakawak 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. An Upward Force.
2. Sinakawak Shrine sits in Hyrule Field west of Lookout Landing and teaches hot-air balloon physics using Zonai Flame Emitters and Balloons.
3. Step 1: In the first chamber, gather the Zonai Balloons and Flame Emitters scattered around.
4. Attach one Balloon to the top of Platform 1 using Ultrahand, then attach a Flame Emitter to the base of the balloon pointing upward.
5. The heat inflates the balloon and lifts the entire platform.
6. Guide it up to the gap in the upper railing.
7. Step 2: Platform 2 is heavier and requires two Balloons for enough lift.
8. Attach both balloons to the platform top, add a Flame Emitter under each, and activate them.
9. The platform rises to the upper level.
10. Step 3: Platform 3 is your elevator.
11. Attach a Balloon and Flame Emitter as before, then stand on the platform before activating the emitter.
12. Ride it up to the upper level where the altar awaits.
13. Hidden chest: On the upper level, before approaching the altar, look to the left behind a pillar.
14. A chest containing an Opal is tucked against the wall.
15. It is only reachable from the upper level, so if you miss it, you would need to rebuild a balloon platform to get back up.
16. Pro tip: The balloon-plus-flame combination is one of TotK's cheapest vertical traversal methods in the overworld.
17. Carry extra Balloons and Flame Emitters in your inventory — they weigh nothing and can lift you to any sky island.
