The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomhas made some pretty big changes to one ofBreath of the Wild’s most iconic locations - the Shrine of Resurrection.
Breath of the Wild’s version of Hyrule is home to several iconic locations, from the run-down royalty of Hyrule Castle to the castaway shores of Eventide Island. Arguably one of its most iconic locations though, is one that you find yourself in right at the beginning of the game and where Link begins his journey across Hyrule.

That location is, of course, the Shrine of Resurrection, a mysterious blue cave that contains the Sheikah Slate and a pod that manages to revive Link after he rested for 100 years. It’s a key part in Breath of the Wild’s fantastic opening, right up to the moment where you leave it behind for good and see the iconic title crawl as Link runs towards the end of a cliff and looks out beyond the Great Plateau.
Since Tears of the Kingdom takes place in the same Hyrule that Breath of the Wild does, it stands to reason that the Shrine of Resurrection would be the same as it was there, right? Well, actually it’s seen some pretty big changes that you’re able to see for yourself if you go and visit it once you’ve managed to get down from the Great Sky Island starting area.
For starters, the entrance to the Shrine of Resurrection has been covered up by some leaves, which seems to imply that there’s been a fairly significant amount of time between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Once you cut through them, you can make your way down into the entrance of the cave, which is where things get a lot more interesting.
In the original game, there was a, well, shrine in this cavern that Link woke up in, but in Tears of the Kingdom the shrine itself is completely gone, replaced with a body of water that can heal Link if he swims in it, seemingly meaning that it’s the same water that was powering the shrine originally.
If Link goes to the right of the water, he’ll be able to drop down a hole that leads him to a Yiga Clan hideout. If Link interacts with the banana on the ground, he’ll then be ambushed by Yiga members who want revenge for Master Kohga. Defeating all the Yiga Clan members will then see Link talking to a character called SOMEONE and then getting a capsule for his troubles.
