While most of the shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom provide you with handy Blessings of Light in return for completing puzzles, some of them instead require you to overcome challenges of a more combat-oriented nature. These are the Proving Grounds, and they can be very tough.

These shrines will strip Link of his weapons and armor, providing him with a very specific set of equipment. You'll have to use your knowledge of the game's combat system to its fullest to get through these challenges - luckily, Kamizun's Proving Grounds is the easiest of the bunch.

How To Complete Kamizun Shrine: Proving Grounds - Beginner

Tears of the Kingdom - Kamizun Shrine - Sniping the first Construct

Kamizun Shrine will provide you with the following:

  • A Wooden Stick.
  • An Old Wooden Bow.
  • An Old Wooden Shield.
  • Ten Arrows.

You'll have to use these and your powers to make your way through the shrine, defeating all the Constructs within.

Take a few steps into the shrine and look at what you have in front of you - lots of pillars with Constructs moving around them. One of the Constructs is keeping a watchful eye on top of a pillar to the right - use your bow to snipe it. If you get a critical hit, you'll kill it in one shot, so aim carefully.

Tears of the Kingdom - Kamizun Shrine - Fire Fruit Tree

Once that's dealt with, move around to the left and pick the Fire Fruit from the nearby tree. You can use this to shoot fire arrows at the nearby Constructs with wooden equipment - aim for the one on the left with the Wooden Shield, as the fire will burn it away.

This will alert the three remaining Constructs to your location but don't worry too much about this. Just draw them away from the raised ground they were standing on and then weave around the arena.

When you reach the platform again, use Fuse to place the Spiked Iron Ball on your Wooden Stick, turning it into a hammer weapon with a nice 13 attack. Use this to destroy the remaining Constructs.

Once all the Constructs are down, you'll be rewarded with the shrine exit opening up. On the way, you can open the chest for a Spring Shield, which is a gimmicky piece of equipment that flings attackers backwards.
