To activate a shrine, Link only needs to walk up to a shrine and examine it. Examining the shrine not only opens the shrine for Link to enter, but also makes it an active travel point for Link to use on the map. | To activate a shrine, Link only needs to walk up to a shrine and examine it.

Once inside the shrine, Link faces one of three scenarios: | Once Link has completed the shrine's challenge and reached the Sheikah Monk within the shrine, the monk will bless Link with a [[Spirit Orb]], which can be collected and traded at a [[Goddess Statue]] for additional hearts or stamina. | ||
Though not all shrines are required to defeat [[Ganon]], Link is rewarded with the Breath of the Wild armor set upon completing all 120 shrines. | |||
==Shrine Challenges== | |||
Once inside the shrine, Link faces one of three scenarios: | |||
*A puzzle to complete, | |||
*A test of strength, or | |||
*A blessing | |||
Shrines with puzzles are completed by solving the puzzle presented inside. Little to no direction is given, leaving Link to determine the objective of the shrine and how to complete it. Many of the puzzles require the use of various [[Rune]]s found previously on Link's adventure, but some may also require the use of weapons or arrows in order to complete. These shrines often contain [[Treasure Chest]]s which hold weapons or various types of gems. A select few shrines will hold pieces of [[Armor (Breath of the Wild)|Armor]]. | Shrines with puzzles are completed by solving the puzzle presented inside.

For tests of strength, Link must face a single [[Guardian]] and defeat it in battle. The tests of strength come in three levels: | |||
*Minor Test of Strength (against a [[Guardian Scout II]]) | |||
*Modest Test of Strength (against a [[Guardian Scout III]]) | |||
*Major Test of Strength (against a [[Guardian Scout IV]]) | |||
Blessings are found in shrines which can only be accessed through significant effort before even reaching the shrine. Reaching the shrine is, in itself, considered the challenge for shrine and upon entering the shrine, Link may continue directly to the Monk for his blessing. Occasionally, Link may find a chest in one of these shrines as well. | Blessings are found in shrines which can only be accessed through significant effort before even reaching the shrine.
