Raqa Zunzo Shrine (Raqa Zunzo’s Blessing)

This blessing shrine is earned through The Undefeated Champ shrine quest. Beat the sand-seal race course in under 1:30, place the prize orb on the pedestal and the shrine rises. Inside there is no puzzle, only a chest and the monk.

RegionGerudo Wasteland
LocationJust south of Gerudo Town, beside the sand-seal race course
Map positionx -3810, z 3127, height 168 (map square B-8)
RewardSpirit Orb; chest: Radiant Shield

How to find it

Leave Gerudo Town to the south. The race start is set up on the sand there, and the shrine appears at the same spot. The race only opens up once Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been freed.

Solution

Enter the race

Speak to Shabonne at the starting line and pay 50 rupees. You need to beat the record time of 1:30 set by Tali.

Win in under 1:30

Ride your shield across the sand through all seven arches, keep to the course and dash the whole way. Getting off your shield or leaving the course bounds disqualifies you. The course is forgiving, and a clean run is comfortably fast enough.

Raise the shrine

Take the orb you win and put it on the pedestal by the start. The shrine rises from the sand.
