The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has many puzzles for you to complete in its numerous shrines across Hyrule, requiring you to use Link’s abilities to do so. Often, it takes a lot of experimenting with what you have at your disposal to figure out the shrine’s solution and discover all the hidden chests.

The Oromuwak Shrine, found in the snowy Hebra region, has a few fun puzzles that make use of minecarts and Zonai rockets. The main premise here is to launch yourself using these items, which is where the shrine’s title, A Launching Device, no doubt comes from.

How To Complete Oromuwak Shrine: A Launching Device

Link entering the Oromuwak Shrine in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

The outside of this shrine is surrounded by thorns that damage Link if he touches them. Use fire to burn the thorns away.

When you enter this shrine, you’ll see two Zonai rockets on the left-hand side of the room, and a large, glowing orange target on the other.

The aim here is to fire a rocket at the target. Use the Ultrahand ability to move one of the rockets in front of the target.

Place it at the end of the ramp, in the dip in the middle. Hit the rocket with your weapon to ignite it. It will fire into the target, unlocking the next room.

Grab one of the rockets and take it with you as you head through the unlocked door. There are three minecarts here — head to the one attached to the rails, next to the steps.

Attach your rocket to the front of the minecart, so it’s pointing towards the rails.

Hop into the minecart and activate the rocket. The minecart will propel up the rails, and you’ll land in the area above.

There are more minecarts here and three rockets to your left. To grab the chest in this shrine, pick up a rocket and attach it vertically to the edge of one of the minecarts. The tip should be pointing upwards.

If you attach the rocket to the center of the minecart, the rocket will fail to launch. It needs to be attached to the edge.

Look up, and to the top right corner, you’ll see a platform with a chest on it. Position the minecart as close to it as possible, but not directly beneath it.

Jump in the minecart and activate the rocket. When you have enough height, jump out and paraglide over to the platform. Open the chest to receive a Ruby.

Paraglide back down to where you were. Use Ultrahand to pick up a minecart and take it to the left, where there’s another ramp.

You’ll fly over to the last area of the shrine, with the exit on your left.
