Then, equip the shield and walk over to the doorway to the next area.

It will be blocked with ice.

Aim the shield at the block of ice to melt it.

Once melted, head through the doorway into the next room.

This chest contains five arrows.

Then, you should find another Zonai Solider Construct on the left side of the room.

This one is using a large stone slab as a shield.

As before, it’s crucial that you defeat the Construct to be able to move forward.

There are many ways you might defeat a Construct, but here’s how we did it.

Then, we followed up with several melee attacks.

This staggered the Construct enough for it to lift its shield.

When it did this, we attacked it a few more times with a melee weapon to beat it.

You then need to pick up and equip the Stone-Slab shield it dropped.

Hold the shield up to block the flames and walk straight into them.

When you are in the flames, keep the shield up and head to the opening on your right.

This leads into the next area, but don’t go down the ramp into the area just yet.

You’ll need to defeat this Construct too.

While it was frozen, we ran to the construct and repeatedly attacked it with melee attacks.

Then, head to either the left or right side of the room.

It doesn’t matter which side you go to here because either side contains the same things.

On the side you choose, you should notice two rockets.

Use your Fuse ability to attach the rocket to your shield.

There are spare shields near the rockets if you need them.

Once you’ve attached the rocket to the shield, equip it and ride the shield upwards.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Link is gliding to the final point of the Ijo-o Shrine.

After a few seconds of flight, put the shield away and instantly equip Link’s Paraglider.

Up here, you should be able to see the final area of the Shrine.

Glide over to the final area to collect your Light of Blessing.
