The Sinakawak Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom is one of the first you’ll encounter after leaving Lookout Landing, but it’s not the easiest to complete. You won’t have to utilize all of your newfound abilities and powers, but you will have to use Ultrahand quite a bit. The Sinakawak Shrine forces you to use your creativity and create solutions out of what you are given in the form of uplifting devices. That being said, sometimes it’s hard to figure out just how you’re supposed to do it all. Keep reading to learn where to find and how to complete the Sinakawak Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Finding the Sinakawak Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom

First, you’ll have to figure out where to find the Sinakawak Shrine. When you first leave Lookout Landing and start heading to the West toward the North Hyrule Plains, you will be heading in the right direction. Shortly after you pass by the New Serenne Stable on the main path through the area, you should notice the Sinakawak Shrine to your left, off the path.

How to Complete a Sinakawak Shrine Uplifting Device in Tears of the Kingdom

As you make your way inside of the shrine, you will walk into a room that has a few pieces of wood leaned up against a platform, along with some balloons and candles. The primary directive is to create uplifting devices ย in order to raise and lower both yourself and different objects, by utilizing wood, candles, and balloons.

When you enter into the room, the first thing you’re going to need to do is activate Ultrahand and connect a shorter board to a longer board so that they create an upside-down “T” shape.

Next, connect Balloons to the edges of the shorter board on alternating sides, as shown in the image above. The final step in completing this uplifting device is to add a candle to the board underneath both of the balloons. Be sure to already be standing on the board when you place the final candle so that the uplifting device will raise you up to the next level of the room.

Once you make it up top, position the uplifting device below the switch above the door and allow it to float up to it, unlocking the gate below for you to progress.

When you make it into the new room, you’re going to need to jump down to the next level. You can safely do this by gliding down with your paraglider and landing by the small ball surrounded by candles. Next to the ball, there will be a wooden board lying on the ground.

Pick up the ball with Ultrahand and attach it to the middle of the board.

Next, you will be connecting a candle to each of the four corners of the board. Once this is done, look around for some balloons.

You will only need one balloon for this particular uplifting device, so find one, grab it with Ultrahand, and pull it back to the uplifting device.

Once you make it back, attack the balloon to one of the edges of the device, so that the candles are close enough to move it. You will notice the uplifting device begin to raise toward the higher level of the room. Now, head back to the ladder on the opposite side of the room and climb back up to where the Device is now.

In order to deconstruct the uplifting device, attack it with a melee weapon, then grab the ball with Ultrahand and drop in in the are in front of the door. This will open up the gate to let you complete the Sinakawak Shrine.

How to Get the Bonus Chest

If you are interested in collecting the bonus chest within the shrine for an extra Opal, you will follow step similar to what you did to complete the shrine, and create another uplifting device. However, this device will be a bit different.

Sinakawak Puzzle #2

Head back down to where you found the small ball used in your last uplifting device and explore the room until you find the large ball surrounded but fire-spitting Zonai Devices.

Grab a Zonai Device using Ultrahand and attach it to the large ball. This will make the ball roll to the side, making it easier to add a balloon onto it in the right location.

Grab a balloon from near you and attach it to the ball as well so that the Zonai Device will activate the balloon and allow it to raise. Once it does, climb back up the ladder and head over to the ball’s new location.

You can turn off the Zonai Device by attacking it with a melee weapon once. After you do this, grab the ball and drop it into the correct hole, unlocking the gate to the bonus chest.

This is everything you need to know about how to complete the Sinakawak Shrine inย The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

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

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things โ€œgeekโ€. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you canโ€™t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
