The Thyphlo Ruins are a location found in Breath of the Wild. It is located north of the Great Hyrule Forest.
Description
The Thyphlo Ruins are completely shrouded in darkness, and they can only be accessed/exited from the west or by teleporting away. They're surrounded by a moat of mud, so they can't be accessed to by swimming. The ruins feature several bird-shaped spires whose beaks point Link towards the general path leading to the Keto Wawai Shrine. It's encouraged that Link lights them for orientation. There are also Fire Rods available to use. There are no overworld quests or NPCs that lead to the ruins.
These ruins are filled to the brim with Zonai statues similar to the ones in the Faron rainforest. However, statues and figures seem to be placed grouped right next to each other, implying that they were placed haphazardly, or further implying that the ruins were a depository for the Zonai statues.
It's not known why the ruins are shrouded in darkness, but clearance of the Shrine Quest does not remove the permanent darkness status. The ruins can be navigated via the use of torches or other luminous resources like Daruk's Protection; if the proper DLC has been downloaded and installed, and provided that the player has cleared EX The Champions' Ballad, the Master Cycle Zero can be used to navigate the ruins by using its front light.
