Albeit most of the shrines teach Link about the mechanics of the game in controlled environments, tutorial-specific shrines are in the minority, with only five in the game ([[Oman Au Shrine]], [[Ja Baij Shrine]], [[Keh Namut Shrine]], [[Owa Daim Shrine]] and [[Ta'loh Naeg Shrine]]). They are meant to teach Link about the usage of the [[Rune]]s in the [[Sheikah Slate]] and special melee combat moves. | |||
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.

*Only the base game's 120 shrines are counted in the total shown in the game's loading screen, and the are the only ones counted towards the quest ''[[A Gift from the Monks]]'', which awards Link with the [[Hero of the Wild Set]].
