Learn how to solve the Ukouh Shrine puzzles in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This guide covers using Ultrahand for bridges and contraptions.
Alright, so you've just met Rauru and he's given you your first big tool: Ultrahand! This is where the real fun begins in Tears of the Kingdom. Ukouh Shrine is designed to teach you the absolute basics of this amazing ability. Let's get you through it so you can keep exploring Hyrule!
Where to Find Ukouh Shrine
After chatting with Rauru at the Temple of Time, you'll want to head to the right. Look for a spot to carefully drop down to a grassy area below. Keep going, cross the river, and you'll find the base of the shrine's rock. There are spiral stairs going up, but they're broken in places. Don't worry, this is your first test of climbing! Just jump towards a climbable surface, and you'll stick to it. You can move around a bit until your stamina runs out, letting you get to the next section of stairs. Once you reach the top, just interact with the shrine to activate it.

Later on, you'll be building all sorts of crazy fan-powered vehicles and making bridges or scaffolding to reach tricky spots!

Once you're across, you'll find a wider gap. Uh oh, no single plank is long enough! This is where the 'attach' part of Ultrahand comes in. Grab a plank, then drag it over to another plank. As you get close, you'll see options to stick them together. You'll want to make sure you rotate the plank so it lines up nicely. If it's not oriented right, it'll be wobbly and hard to cross.
