The world of The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is full of challenges and obstacles that Link must overcome to save the kingdom. One of the most important aspects of the game is the Shrines, which are sacred places that hold great power and offer valuable rewards. The Nachoyah Shrine is the final Shrine that players must complete, and it requires the use of the Recall (Rewind) ability, which is obtained from Princess Zelda in the Temple of Time.
Shrines are an essential part of the game, not only because they help players unlock new abilities but also because they serve as Fast Travel points after a certain point in the game. Rauru, the ancient sage, will appear before Link and guide him towards the Nachoyah Shrine. This final Shrine only has two puzzles for players to solve, but they require the efficient use of the Rewind ability to complete.
This guide will provide players with a step-by-step walkthrough of the Nachoyah Shrine, including all the necessary steps to solve the puzzles and progress through the game.

Nachoyah Shrine Puzzle #1
In front, you will be flowing water and small wooden planks falling from the waterfall. Go to the small set of stairs to your right and wait for a plank to come near you. Open the ability wheel by holding down on the L button and select the Recall ability. Press A on the plank to recall it and jump on it.
Jump on the wooden plank and ride to the other side while the Recall ability is active. Here’s a video tutorial on how to solve the first Nachoyah Shrine Puzzle:

For the second puzzle, you need to go to the next set of stairs to your right and wait for a plank to drop from the waterfall. When it falls and gets closer to you, use the Recall ability and jump on the plank. The goal is to reach the top of the waterfall but the trick is to stand a little further from the middle of the plank while facing the waterfall. Otherwise, you will be pushed off the plank when the turbulence hits. Here’s a video tutorial of the second Nachoyah Shrine puzzle:

Nachoyah Shrine Puzzle #3
To solve the final puzzle you need to unlock the door by aligning the two needles with recall ability. There are two spinning bars in front of you. Both are spinning in opposite directions but you need to align them on top of each other with Recall to open the door.
Go through the unlocked door and interact with the green halo to complete the Nachoyah Shrine in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. You will earn another Light of Blessing, the final one you need to open the door to the Kingdom of Hyrule.
