Uncovering Shrines

Related

Shrine Pedestals are devices in Breath of the Wild related to the uncovering of Shrines in the overworld, and puzzle solving inside the Shrines themselves. Link has to accomplish a task related to the pedestals in order to activate them. The overworld pedestals are usually part of Shrine Quests, and usually glow orange before activation, after which they turn blue. Some pedestals are featureless.

Types of Pedestals

Concave

Concave Pedestals require the placement of Ancient Orbs in their middle cavity to activate the pedestals. In cases requiring multiple pedestals and orbs, placing an orb at the wrong pedestal may make it disappear and return to its original location, or simply not activate. They may also be featureless and located at the base of statues or pillars. Concave pedestals are also part of in-shrine puzzles, where they are at ground-level.

Trivia

  • The DLC-exclusive Kihiro Moh Shrine is the only overworld shrine whose uncovering requires an Ancient Orb, but no Pedestal.

Flat

Flat Pedestals require Link standing on them under different circumstances, or projecting shadows from the sun or moon on them. Some pedestals are embedded on mountainsides.
