Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – How to cross rail in Ukouh Shrine

The rail in the Ukouh Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

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

One of the first things you need to do in Tears of the Kingdom is to complete the Ukouh Shrine. When you go inside for the first time, you are granted the Ultrahand ability. Ultrahand allows you to combine objects to create useful contraptions to aid you in reaching your goal.

As you progress through the game, you will become more adept at spotting which objects go together and how they can be used to get you around certain obstacles. The Ukouh Shrine is the first time you need to approach things in this way and it can be difficult to know where to start.

After progressing further into the Shrine, you reach a rail that you need to traverse. However, there’s no immediately obvious way of sliding down it and it is too narrow to walk across. To get to the other side, you must use some ingenuity and combine nearby objects into a platform that can slide down the rail.

Let’s go over how to cross the rail in the Ukouh Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

This is how to cross the rail in the Ukouh Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Use Ultrahand to join the large wooden board on the left with a hook. Place the board flat on the floor and then attach the flat part of the hook to the middle of the board. Now, navigate the hook onto the rail and jump onto the board.

You need to be quick here because the makeshift platform will slide down as soon as you drop it on the rail. Once you’re on, all you need to do is wait to get to the other side and jump off.

This introduction to the Ultrahand ability serves as a fantastic tutorial for what comes later on in the game. Combining hooks with different objects is a reoccurring necessity as you progress further.
