Who doesn’t love a good shrine? Especially one that will let you teleport right to the adjacent town? Makasura Shrine is right beside Kakariko Village, and it’s a good one to knock out. So, here’s how to complete Makasura Shine in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to Complete Makasura Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom
Each shrine has their own unique theme, which is pretty impressive considering there’s so many of them! Makasura’s theme is “an upright device”. But before we get into that, let’s make sure you know how to get to this shrine in case you’re looking for it.
How to Get to Makasura Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom
It’s easy to visit a shrine with the intention of coming back and then completely lose track of which one it is on the map. Makasura Shrine is just South of Kakariko Village on the high ridge just south of the Chief’s house. Its coordinates are 1770, -1051, 0166.
Now that we’re all here, let’s get puzzling.
We’ll enter a large room. Head to the far end, stand beneath the white metal grate, then use Ascend to reach the next level.
Now here’s where the real puzzle starts. And it’s pretty easy. There’s a metal grate on the ground with a green Zonai device attached to it. This Zonai device will lift anything that it’s attached to and balance on its copper bottom.
And yep! That’s it. It’s possible that the second Zonai Device has a purpose, but it’s not really needed.
The second puzzle is a little harder.
And that’s it! First, we got the ball, then we became the ball.

How to Get the Secret Chest in Makasura Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom
This is TotK, and naturally there’s a secret chest. You’ll need to lift the platform you used to get into the left cage with Ultrahand, putting it into the cage that had the ball.
Now, put this new platform against the far wall. Ascend through the grate, and you’ll be able to reach a chest on the ledge. For your effort, you’ll get a Fairy Tonic! How cute.
Congrats on your new tonic and Light Blessing! If you’re struggling with the nearby Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, you’re definitely not alone! Check out our guide on how to open it here:How to Solve the Sahasra Slope Tower in Tears of the Kingdom.
