There are 152 Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom which implies discovering and fixing all of them isn’t any small feat. Compartively, Breath of the Wild had 120 (and you may see what discovering all of these earned you right here), however the reward is shocking, weird, and raises some attention-grabbing questions in regards to the bigger Zelda lore. It’s value noting that there are spoilers under for a late-game unlock.
After skipping the 2 cutscenes that play on the finish of each Shrine for the final roughly 165 hours, the ultimate Shrine exhibits some distinctive textual content and suggests the participant go to the Temple of Time for a reward.
The Temple of Time is situated on the island the place you started your Tears of the Kingdom journey and the King Raura and Queen Sonia statues are positively not referring the Temple of Time ruins on the plateau. I do not know who who would make that mistake and search the ruins for arguably too lengthy for a reward, however you positively need to go up into the sky. You will discover a new chest behind the Goddess Statue.
And in that chest is the Ancient Hero’s Aspect. The armor is in contrast to any in Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom in that it’s one piece and never handled as three separate objects. It additionally fully alters Link’s appearances. It is functionally just like the masks of Majora’s Mask that remodel Link right into a Zora, Goron, or Deku. Its description reads, “This item is said to contain the spirit of a hero who once saved Hyrule. That hero’s aura will envelop the wearer.” It could also be a illustration of the very first incarnation of the Hero of Time.
Some characters will change their dialoge in the event you’re sporting armor. The common Hyrule citizen does not appear impressed, however of us like Impa and Purah (and sure others) who’ve some data of world’s historical past can have new issues to say in response to Link’s new look.
