Are there DLC shrines?

▶

Yes, there are DLC shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which were not available in the base game and can be found by solving clues given by Kass on the course of the DLC’s quest. These DLC shrines span areas such as the Great Plateau, Lanayru, Eldin, Hebra, and Gerudo regions, and finding them can only be done by completing specific challenges and quests.

Shrine Completion and Rewards

6. How many shrines is 13 hearts? – Completing 40 shrines will give you enough spirit orbs to collect 10 heart containers, which, when added to the three you start with, totals 13 heart containers.
7. Can you max out stamina and hearts in Breath of the Wild? – Even with Breath of the Wild’s extra spirit orbs from The Champion’s Ballad, both hearts and stamina still couldn’t be maxed out, meaning more content won’t necessarily bring enough resources for this.

Shrine Details

8. What is the max stamina in Breath of the Wild? – The maximum number of stamina wheels Link can have in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is 5, after which overfills don’t stack.
9. Are completed shrines blue or orange? – Your map icon will turn fully blue when you’ve completed a shrine, but it will stay partially orange if you haven’t found the shrine exit and Light of Blessing or if you haven’t found all of the chests.
10. Are there two chests in every shrine? – Every single shrine in the game will feature at least one chest, but you don’t need to collect the chest to complete the shrine.

Post-Game Content and Rewards

14. Is it better to get hearts or stamina in BOTW? – It’s recommended to raise stamina early, as it’s far more useful, and you can cook meals that give you a couple extra hearts if you need them.
15. What does it take to 100% Breath of the Wild? – To hit 100% in BOTW, players need to finish all four Divine Beasts, complete all 120 Ancient Shrines, acquire all 900 Korok Seeds, and visit every named location on the map.
