'''Shrines of Trials''' are mini-dungeons scattered all over [[Hyrule]]. In total there are 120 shrines, and within each shrine is a [[Sheikah Monk]] who holds a blessing for the one who manages to complete the challenge contained within the shrine. Some shrines can be discovered while [[Link]] wanders Hyrule as they sit in the open and can be approached with minimal effort. However, some shrines can only be accessed through the completion of a Shrine Quest which requires Link to complete a task that will reveal a hidden shrine. Shrine Quests are received from various individuals throughout Hyrule, most commonly [[Kass]] or [[Stable]] residents or visitors.

*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]]. The DLC-exclusive shrines do not affect the counter either way.

==Age of Calamity==
Albeit shrines may be visible in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'' far in the horizon (like [[Shee Vaneer Shrine]]), these are not accessible in the game, nor they are part of the game's story or gameplay. The activation of the [[Central Tower]] doesn't trigger the activation of shrines either.
