The beginning ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomfocuses around visiting a series of Shrines on Great Sky Island in order to obtain some important abilities. While the majority of these Shrines are quite easy to access, there is one that some players may struggle to reach. More specifically, fans may run into some trouble as they attempt to enterThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Gutanbac Shrine, which is located within a snowy portion of the Great Sky Island, and this guide is here to offer some assistance.
To note, while the Shrine on Great Sky Island’s snowy mountain is likely to be the third Shrine that most players enter, it is technically possible to enter it second. For thoseZeldafansthat have already traveled to the Gutanbac Shrine and need help reaching the other Shrine in the area, it is recommended that they seek a guide detailing the In-isa Shrine.

Starting fromTotK’sIn-isa Shrine(0027, -1503, 1408), players should descend the stairs, take a right at the bottom, and follow the path to reach thePondside Caveat coordinates0149, -1635, 1378.Fans should now pass through this cave and exit out the other side.
In the area just beyond the Pondside Cave, players must use theirUltrahand abilitytoconstruct a boatfrom the materials that are on the ground. This can be done very simply by attaching a fan to the back of a single log, or players can use a slightly more complicated configuration like the one depicted above. Once the boat has been built, players should useTears of the Kingdom’s Ultrahand abilityto place it in the water, stand on top of the vessel, and hit the fan to reach the other side
Back on dry land, players should follow the path to reach theMining Caveat coordinates0393, -1615, 1412. As players walk through this cave, they will meet a Construct that provides information about usingBrightbloom Seed. Fans should then use that information to attachBrightbloom Seedto their arrows (hold ZR, press up on the d-pad, and select the item) and light their path into theForge.
In the Forge, players should speak with theForge Constructto learn about Energy Cells and theMining Constructto learn about Zonai Capsules. This second conversation will lead to the acquisition of someFans, and players should locate them within their inventories, take one out, and use Ultrahand to attach it to the back of a nearby cart. Players should then place theirfan-powered carton the tracks at coordinates0489, -1640, 1375, hop inside, and strike the device to move along the rails.
When the cart comes to a halt, players should approach theTotKDevice Dispenserat coordinates0435, -1680, 1443and speak with the Construct to get a tutorial. Fans should then headeastto thePit Caveat0580, -1625, 1442, making sure to pick theSpicy Pepperthat are growing just outside the entrance. These peppers should then becookedin the pot inside the cave to create food that provides temporaryCold Resistance.
With the food in hand, players should continue through the cave, climbing to exit at coordinates0633, -1637, 1485. Fans will now find themselves in the snow, and they shouldeattheirCold Resistance food inTears of the Kingdombefore following the path northward to theBottomless Caveat coordinates0717, -1444, 1486.
Fans must now simply advance through the cave, bypassing the enemies that they encounter by approaching them, waiting for them to open, and firing an arrow at the orb that is revealed. After traveling a short distance, players will find themselves leaving the cave at coordinates0725, -1356, 1542, and there are severallarge roots hanging directly in front of the exit. Link can climb these roots simply by walking onto them, and they lead directly toTears of the Kingdom’s Gutanbac Shrine.
