Master Rope Cutting in Zelda: TotK's Gasas Shrine

Players of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can easily locate the Gasas Shrine (Well-Timed Cuts) in the western region of the new Hyrule map. Situated not too far south of Rito Village/Tabantha Frontier and directly north of Gerudo Highlands and west of Lookout Landing, where players initially start their journey after completing the Great Sky Island tutorial shrines.

The coordinates for the Gasas Shrine are approximately -4149, 0100, 0040. As the shrine is in the open and not concealed within a cave, like some of the other shrines in TotK, reaching it should be a fairly straightforward task for most players. However, players will need to put in a little more effort to solve the Gasas Shrine's puzzles. This guide will provide players with a walkthrough to successfully navigate the shrine and obtain another Light of Blessing.

Upon entering the Gasas Shrine, Link will come across a cube that is suspended in the air by a piece of rope. To bring the cube down to the floor, simply use a bow and shoot the string with an arrow. Once the cube is on the ground, hop onto it to move on to the next section of the shrine.

Ascend the staircase and utilize Link's latest ability, the Ultrahand, to grab hold of the second cube. Then, carefully hoist the cube towards the edge of the upper platform. Let it rest for a few moments before bringing it back down. After that, swap to the Recall skill. By utilizing this skill on the cube, it will return to the upper platform, providing Link with a means to climb onto it and advance to the next area.

After creating a bridge by joining two identical rectangular-shaped platforms using Ultrahand, Tears of the Kingdom players must cross the gap to progress further. As they make their way across the bridge, players will spot a treasure chest hanging in mid-air on the right. Shooting the rope will cause the chest to fall into the chasm, but it will return to its original position eventually, so players need not worry about any irreversible mistakes. To obtain the chest, players must swing it using Ultrahand and shoot the rope with an arrow to make it land on either the platform in front of or behind it. Inside the chest lies a Large Zonai Charge.

To obtain the necessary key for unlocking the door, players must turn their attention towards the area directly across from the first chest. A second chest can be found suspended high above a perilous chasm. There are two possible approaches to acquiring this key.

Place the cube underneath the chest and execute Recall before hitting the chest down to ensure a safe landing. However, players must be quick in using Ultrahand to retrieve the chest before the cube shifts. Alternatively, attach the cube to the end of the long bridge constructed earlier and position the new "bridge with a cube" structure underneath the chest, allowing it to fall on the side without the cube.

After unlocking the door with the newly acquired key, players will come across a hole in the floor that requires filling with a large ball.

Look to your right and you'll see a ball suspended by a string. To easily obtain it, use the Recall ability to bring it towards you, then cut the rope with an arrow and swiftly grab the ball with Ultrahand. Take the ball to the recess on the floor to complete the Gasas Shrine. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can now be played on the Nintendo Switch.
