The Isolated Plateau Shrines — The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Walkthrough

You'll start in the Shrine of Resurrection, but your first real objective is to get out and explore the Great Plateau. The first shrine you'll likely encounter is the Oman Au Shrine. Inside, you'll learn about the Magnesis rune. This rune lets you grab and move metallic objects. You'll need to use it to solve some puzzles, like moving metal blocks to create pathways or dropping them on switches. Pay attention to the glowing orange highlights on objects you can interact with!

Next up is the Ja Baij Shrine. Here, you'll get the Remote Bomb rune. This is super handy for destroying cracked walls or rocks that block your path. You'll get two types: a spherical bomb and a cubical one. You can have one active at a time, so choose wisely! Practice throwing them at weak points to clear the way forward.

The Owa Daim Shrine introduces the Stasis rune. This one is a bit trickier but incredibly useful. It allows you to freeze objects in time for a short period. While an object is frozen, you can hit it to build up kinetic energy. When the Stasis wears off, all that stored energy is released, launching the object. You'll use this to stop moving platforms or launch objects across gaps.

Finally, the Keh Namut Shrine teaches you the Cryonis rune. This lets you create pillars of ice from water surfaces. These pillars can be used as platforms to cross water, block lasers, or even lift objects. It's essential for navigating areas with water and can be used in surprisingly creative ways.

After completing these four shrines and getting all the runes, your next major objective is to head to the Temple of Time. This iconic structure is hard to miss. Inside, you'll find a mysterious old man who will give you further instructions. Make sure you've collected all the runes before heading there, as he'll want to see what you've learned!
