Quest Overview
A Zora scholar has found an ancient stone tablet near Upland Zorana that appears to describe the location of a hidden Zonai shrine using star positions as reference points. Deciphering the star map requires Link to be at the correct location at the correct hour of night when the described constellation is overhead. Arrive at the specified coordinates after midnight and wait for the stars to align — the shrine entrance emerges from the rock face at the precise moment of alignment.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Examine the Ancient Tablet
A Zora scholar near Upland Zorana has discovered a carved stone tablet bearing a Zonai star map and cryptic directional text. He has partially translated it: the shrine entrance is located at a specific rocky formation north of Lanayru Great Spring and opens only when the Hylia Star constellation is directly overhead — after midnight on clear nights.
2
Reach the Formation at Midnight
Travel to the rocky formation north of Lanayru Great Spring. Check the Purah Pad sky view: the Hylia Star constellation is visible between midnight and 2am on clear weather nights. If it is raining or overcast, use an Elixir or wait out the weather. Stand at the formation center and wait for the constellation to appear directly overhead.
3
Enter the Revealed Shrine
When the stars align, the rock face shimmers and a section slides aside, revealing the shrine entrance. Enter and complete the Zonai trial inside. The shrine features a light-reflection puzzle using mirrors and beams, fitting for a star-themed shrine. Completing it yields a Light of Blessing and stamps the shrine on your Purah Pad map.
