Taninoud Shrine Walkthrough

Upon reaching the island,players will find a Device Dispenser, a large launcher, and an empty stone shell where a shrine should be. Activating the empty shrine platform will give Link a request to seek out a crystal and return it to the shrine. Shortly after, a bright green beam will shoot out from the shrine and appear to end on the side of the nearby island.

The crystal is located within a cave on the neighboring island, and players can easily make their way over by rotating the launcher toward the island via the large wheel in the middle of the island. Once it has been turned toward the other island, Link may stand on the launcher to fly across the gap.
