Kisinona 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 Kisinona Shrine in Central Hyrule and survey the wind-based puzzle layout.
2. Three Zonai Fan mechanisms are mounted at fixed positions around the chamber, and three pressure plates must be activated simultaneously to open the altar gate.
3. Each fan interacts with a movable block, but none of the fan-block-plate combinations work correctly in their default configuration — you must adjust each one.
4. Step 2: Fan 1 is mounted on the left wall, pointing due east.
5. It blows a wooden block across the floor, but the block overshoots Plate 1 by approximately 3 meters.
6. Use Ultrahand to grab the fan housing and rotate it slightly to point southeast (about 20 degrees clockwise).
7. Activate the fan — the adjusted angle shortens the blow distance so the wooden block stops directly on Plate 1.
8. The plate clicks and glows.
9. Step 3: Fan 2 is on the floor, pointing straight up.
10. It creates a vertical wind column but accomplishes nothing in its current configuration.
11. Use Ultrahand to detach Fan 2 from the floor and attach it to the underside of a flat platform nearby.
12. This creates an updraft vehicle.
13. Stand on the platform and activate the fan — the updraft lifts you to the upper ledge where Plate 2 sits.
14. Step onto Plate 2 and it activates under your weight.
15. Important: you must remain on Plate 2 or place a heavy object on it to keep it active.
16. Step 4: Fan 3 on the right side already points toward Plate 3, but the small block it currently pushes is too light — the wind blows it past the plate without enough weight to depress it.
17. Look nearby for the heavy stone cube (approximately twice the small block's size).
18. Use Ultrahand to swap the small block for the heavy cube in front of Fan 3.
19. Activate the fan — the heavier cube slides to Plate 3 and its greater weight depresses the plate fully.
20. Step 5: With all three plates active simultaneously, the altar chamber gate opens.
21. Proceed through and claim your Light of Blessing.
22. Hidden chest: On the upper ledge near Plate 2, a chest sits in an alcove containing a Great Thunderblade (fused with electric energy — deals shock damage and is devastating in rainy weather when enemies are wet).
23. Ability needed: Ultrahand is the primary ability for repositioning fans, blocks, and building the updraft vehicle.
24. Understanding Zonai Fan orientation and how wind force interacts with object weight is the core puzzle concept.
25. Pro tip: The principle that heavier objects require more force and lighter objects overshoot applies throughout TotK's physics system.
26. When building vehicles or launching objects, always consider the weight-to-force ratio — too much fan power on a light vehicle makes it uncontrollable, while too little on a heavy vehicle means it barely moves.
