The Ekochiu Shrine ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis a foundational practice shrine preparing you for your ascent to Eldin Volcano and the challenges to come. With several puzzles requiring you to use Recall both figuratively and literally, you’ll want to stop here to practice and polish up.

This shrine is just at the border between Eldin Canyon and Hyrule Field. Uphill from the Woodland Stable and near a large pillar with a secret above, this cozy little area is worth your time and explorative efforts. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also a very fun challenge.
How To Complete Ekochiu Shrine: Rise And Fall
As you enter the first chamber, note theswitch you can step onand thebox fitted on the rail.Stepping on the switch will turn it green andlaunch the box forwardto the other side of the room.
There’snothing to place on the switch, and you cannot launch yourself across while standing on the switch at the same time. What’s a swordsman to do?
Step on the switchto launch the box. Once launched,step offandwait for the boxto return.
Climb onto the boxanduse Recallon it. This will bring you and the box to the other side, where you can thenjump off and enter the next chamber.
Abox flows continuously down the dual set of waterfallsin front of you. Your goal is to climb that waterfall, but there’s achest to find first.
Once the metal box falls over the first waterfall toward you,use Ultrahand to pull it to the water’s edge.Climb on(using Recall if you’d like to temporarily pause it a little longer) andjump over to the rightwhere you may open the chest up top for aZonaite Shield.
Wait for the next box to drop from the waterfall ahead andpull the box toward you with Ultrahand. Jump on and use Recall.This will pull you up the waterfall, where you canjump off at the top.
The next room is thankfully just as short and sweet, and if you’re a fan oflaunching people and things at high velocities, you’re in luck.
Run forward anddrop into the area belowto find ametal box in the alcove off to the right.Pick it up andplace it on the small square area- a launch platform - on the north side of this area.
Once the box is secured,turn around and use the ladderto climb back up to the switch.
Stepping on the switchwill launch the box upwards. Once you do,step offas you did in the first puzzle andrace over to where the box will drop(don’t stand directly under it).
When the box lands,climb on top of it and use Recall.Launched into the air, you canjump off the box and paraglideover to the end of the shrine to complete your challenge.
