To reach The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Ijo-o Shrine, players will find it easiest to locate the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower not too far north of Rito Village in the upper-left quadrant of Hyrule. The shrine is up in the air on one of the sky islands, so getting a boost from the tower will be the best method.

Upon launching in the air from the tower, Link will end up in the West Hebra Sky Archipelago. Right when players reach the peak of their jump, they should face directly north to spot the green swirls above the Ijo-o Shrine. If players can't reach it with their paraglider, they can reach the island right below it and use the hot air balloons to get some height. The coordinates for the shrine are -3860, 2682, 0702.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Ijo-o Shrine Solution

Tears of the Kingdom's Ijo-o Shrine (More than Defense) will teach players how to avoid fire by using large pieces of stone.

Upon entering the shrine, players can look to the right to find an enemy Construct. Defeat it and pick up the dropped Flame Emitter to burn the large piece of ice that blocks Link's progress.

In the next room, melt the block of ice on the right to find a chest containing a bundle of arrows. Defeat the Construct opposite the chest/ice block and pick up the stone slab shield it drops. Use the shield to block the flames so Link can get access to the next area. Players can also pick up the nearby slab with Ultrahand to block the flames, too.

There's a Construct here, but players can avoid it if they wish. The only thing players need to do to get to the top of the area to reach the shrine's goal is to fuse one of the nearby Zonai rockets with their shield.

By holding the shield out, the rocket will activate, launching Link skyward. Use the glider to get to the end of the shrine.

Like other shrines, Link will be rewarded with a Light of Blessing, which can be taken to one of the Goddess Statues around Hyrule.

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