Like many of the other shrines found in the skies above Hyrule, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Ukoojisi Shrine has its own Shrine Quest attached to it. Unlike a lot of the others, though, players won't simply be able to carry the crystal to its destination by hand, with Link instead needing to make use of Zonai devices to get the job done.

For the most part, the game gives players most of the tools needed to return the crystal to its rightful location, though they will need to bring along a few Fire Fruits or some other item that can burn down vines. They'll also need some experience flying Zonai devices, as this will play a key role in completing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Ukoojisi Shrine.

Ukoojisi Shrine Location

Players can find the Ukoojisi Shrine in the West Necluda Sky Archipelago, which is to the southeast of the Great Sky Island. Players can reach it from the tutorial island, or by traveling east after launching themselves from the top of the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower. If they opt for the latter, they'll find a small island with a pre-assembled Fan Wing Glider on it, which they can use to continue their journey east. The coordinates for the Ukoojisi Shrine are 1468, -2168, 0585.

Interacting with the Ukoojisi Shrine will trigger the "The West Necluda Sky Crystal" Shrine Quest, which will direct players to a large island to the northeast of the shrine's location. Though it is technically possible to glide there with a little help from the launcher, players won't be able to reach the spot they need to, so should instead use the Fan Wing Glider that they rode over here or build one of their own. There's a Zonai Device Dispenser nearby for those who find themselves low on parts.

Once players reach the island, they'll see some vines coming down on the lower part of the entrance. They'll want to burn these away using a Fire Fruit arrow or some other source of flames, then do the same again with the vines at the back of the newly accessible cave. There, they'll find the green crystal, which they can attach to the back of the handily placed Wing Glider. They should attach some fans, batteries, and a control stick too, and may want to consider saving the game before attempting their flight.

Once their flying machine is ready for departure, players should fly the crystal back over to the entrance to the Ukoojisi Shrine. Upon landing, they'll need to detach the crystal from the glider by grabbing it with Link's Ultrahand ability and wiggling the right analog stick, which will allow them to return it to its proper location. Following a short cutscene, Link can then head inside the shrine, where he'll find a Rauru's Blessing chest containing a Mighty Zonaite Shield and yet another Light of Blessing.

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