Once players land on the island, they’ll notice a semi-circle-shaped altar that has the Ultrahand symbol on it that’s also glowing green. Interact with it using the A button and a green ring will appear toward the end of the island. Once players enter the ring, this will start a little mini-game in which Link will need to follow the green light and enter all the rings while sliding down the mountain. In order to do this, players can use one of their shields and surf with it.
Shield surfing inTears of the Kingdomcan be done by pressing the following buttons simultaneously:Parry (ZL) + Jump (X) + A.
Make it through the rings and then the Zakusu Shrine will reveal itself at the coordinates: 3532, -1482, 0167.
Zakusu Shrine Walkthrough (Proving Grounds: Ascension)
Like the other ‘Proving Grounds’ shrines inTears of the Kingdom, Zakusu will test players' strengths without using their precious armor and weapons. Link will begin the shrine without any equipment and will need to take down every enemy Construct in the room. Since there are no puzzles in this room to really solve, players can use these tips to get the upper hand on the Constructs and to get around the room easily.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available for the Nintendo Switch.
