The Secret Zelda: Breath of the Wild Detail That's Sending Kingdom Players into a Panic

The inclusion of a hidden chest at the conclusion of a shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has caused some players of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to become suspicious of concealed chests within its own shrines. Both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are brimming with shrines, where players are tasked with completing various challenges in exchange for rewards.

By successfully finishing shrines in Tears of the Kingdom, players acquire a Light of Blessing. Should Tears of the Kingdom players amass a sufficient amount of these blessings, they have the option to exchange them for enhancements to Link's health or stamina. Consequently, this upgrade facilitates the exploration of Hyrule and improves the chances of survival against daunting adversaries within Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is worth noting that both games often contain additional chests in shrines that players can plunder if they manage to solve the puzzle of accessing them. However, a specific extra chest in Breath of the Wild has instilled a sense of paranoia amongst certain players of Tears of the Kingdom.

Reddit user IdleScimitar recently shared a concern about diligently checking behind the final platform of every shrine in Tears of the Kingdom. This stems from a shrine in Breath of the Wild that had a hidden chest, leading many Zelda players to have a similar experience. The post has gained significant traction, accumulating 2.5 thousand upvotes at the time of writing.

In the comment section, some users offered suggestions on how to alleviate this worry about hidden chests in Tears of the Kingdom. One suggestion involved utilizing the chest sensor on the Purah Pad to detect the presence of additional chests nearby. However, this solution comes at the cost of deactivating a different sensor that players may find more valuable, making it less than ideal for some individuals.

Players can easily see which shrines in Tears of the Kingdom still have chests hidden by checking the world map. This saves them the time and effort of searching behind the final platform in every shrine they encounter. With a total of 152 shrines in Tears of the Kingdom, this feature proves to be quite helpful. Additionally, if Nintendo decides to release DLC for Tears of the Kingdom that introduces more shrines, the issue will become even more pronounced. However, it's important for fans to keep their expectations in check as there is no official announcement regarding Tears of the Kingdom DLC at this time.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
