Sand-Seal Racing

Shabonne runs a race across the sand on a Sand Seal. Ride your shield behind the animal, pass through every gate and cross the finish line in under 1:30, the record held by Tali. Steer the seal, not Link, and stay inside the marked course.

How to find it

Travel south from Gerudo Town into the Gerudo Wasteland and look for the Sand-Seal Rally, just south of Raqa Zunzo Shrine. Dress for the desert: heat-resistant gear by day and cold-resistant gear after dark.

Solution

Enter the race

Talk to Shabonne and pay the entry fee. Mount a Sand Seal and stand on your shield behind it.

Hit every gate

The course has seven gates between the start and the finish line. Drive the seal through each one; you are disqualified if you stray too far from the gates or get off your shield.

Steer the seal

Ignore Link’s movement, which is only along for the ride, and concentrate on steering the seal in smooth lines toward each gate.

Beat the time

Cross the finish line in under 1 minute 30 seconds to receive the Grand Trophy. Place it in the concave slot at the Rally and Raqa Zunzo Shrine rises out of the sand, completing the shrine quest.
