Our guide will help you find the Kudanisar Shrine location, solve its puzzles, and walk you through the “Bridging the Sands” challenge to collect the chests and Light of Blessing.

If you haven’t completed the “Riju of the Gerudo Town” main quest line, you may have an even more difficult time of reaching this shrine, as the surrounding areas will be covered in a massive sandstorm. We recommend that you complete that segment of the main story first, so you’ll have an easier time spotting the shrine and exploring the region.

When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
