About this converter
Shrines are fixed per region in both open air Zelda games. Breath of the Wild hides 120 base shrines: Great Plateau holds 4, Gerudo Highlands, Tabantha and Lake hold 6 each, Hateno and Ridgeland hold 7 each, Central, Faron, Woodland and Akkala hold 8 each, Dueling Peaks, Lanayru and Eldin hold 9 each, Gerudo Desert holds 12, and Hebra holds the most at 13. Those fifteen shares sum to exactly 120. The Champions Ballad adds 16 more for 136 with the pass. Tears of the Kingdom hides 152 with no DLC: 120 on the Surface and 32 in the Sky, with 4 on tutorial Great Sky Island. Depths hold Lightroots one to one with Surface shrines instead. Every figure here is the regional share from Game8, ZeldaDungeon, QuestFern, NintendoLife and IGN shrine maps.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 TOTK total against 1 Great Plateau to see the sequel to tutorial gap. The ratio line prints how many times larger one share is.
TOTK regional borders differ between guides, so only the 152 total and the 4 tutorial island rows sit in the table beyond BOTW regions. DLC shrines stay in one separate row so the 120 base math stays clean. Orange centers mark unfound shrines and blue mark cleared ones on the slate.
