Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – How to cross lake to Shrine

In-Isa Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

This guide explains how to cross the lake to the Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Travelling to Shrines is a big part of Tears of the Kingdom. Right from the off, you are sent to find and explore them. In order to reach the In-Isa Shrine, you must first cross a lake that is too large to swim across.

Thankfully, the Ultrahand ability allows you to create contraptions that can make traversing Hyrule’s landscape much easier. However, you must first find and locate objects that you can combine together. And sometimes, you’re not even sure what it is that you need to create.

Getting over to the In-Isa Shrine is easy when you know what you are looking for. So, let’s go over how to cross the lake to the Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

This is how to cross the lake to the Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Using Ultrahand, construct a raft using two logs and a sail. These can be found by walking down the lake’s shoreline. Place the raft in the water and climb on. The wind will blow you across the lake.

Be sure to position the raft in the water with the sail facing forward towards the Shrine. There’s no way to control the raft once you are on it, so you need to make sure that the wind will blow it in the right direction.

You must also be careful not to fall off the raft. If you are too far from the shore, swimming will consume all your stamina and Link will drown.

On the other side of the lake, simply jump off the raft and climb up to the In-Isa Shrine.
