Nachoyah Shrine is the last of the four tutorial shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Unlike the previous three, players won't unlock a new ability upon their arrival at the shrine, though that's not to say that they won't still be using one particular skill as they attempt to solve its many puzzles and get their hands on yet another Light of Blessing.

In order to complete Nachoyah Shrine, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players will need to make use of the Rewind ability, which was given to them by Princess Zelda inside the Temple of Time. In fact, they won't even be able to reach Nachoyah Shrine without Rewind, which is why Nachoyah is the final shrine that players visit on the Great Sky Island.

Nachoyah Shrine Location

Nachoyah Shrine can only be accessed through the Room of Awakening, so players should fast-travel there after unlocking the mechanic. Upon their arrival, they'll see a few spinning cogs like the ones at the Temple of Time, near which is a stone platform. They'll want to use the Ascend ability that they unlocked at the Gutanbac Shrine to get on top of this platform and then use Rewind on the closest of the two spinning cogs. Doing so will allow them to climb across onto the second cog, from which they can reach the path leading to the Nachoyah Shrine entrance. The coordinates for the Nachoyah Shrine are 0390, -1662, 2298.

Once inside Nachoyah Shrine, players should use Rewind on the floating raft in front of them and ride it across the first body of water. They'll then want to use Rewind on the next raft that they see, which will cause it to head back up the nearby waterfall that it just came down. It is possible to use the same raft for both legs of the journey, but as the timing for doing so is incredibly tight, it's best to split the journey in two.

At the top of the waterfall, players will see a giant spinning cog to their right. By using Rewind on this, they can gain access to a raised platform, on top of which they'll find a chest. Like the chest at the In-isa Shrine, this one contains arrows, though players will this time get ten of them rather than just five. After they've opened the chest, players can drop back down and continue following the path in front of them.

The next area contains a locked door with two spinning hands. It's a little like a clock, only both hands spin in opposite directions. Despite looking complicated, solving the Nachoyah Shrine clock hands puzzle is actually incredibly straightforward. The bars blocking the doorway are lowered whenever the two hands are in the same position, so all players need to do is use Rewind on one of the hands at the exact moment when the two hands cross. It doesn't matter which one they choose.

With the bars lowered, players are free to head through to the next room, where they should interact with the statue by pressing the A button. Doing so will reward them with another Light of Blessing, after which, they'll be transported back outside. Their next stop is the Temple of Time, so they can either fast-travel to the Ukouh Shrine and go from there or head outside and use the Ultrahand ability to place one of the gliders onto the rails and then ride through the air toward the Temple.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
