Zanmik Shrine: Scoop it Out

This guide shows how to complete the Scoop it Out Puzzle in the Zanmik Shrine in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, released on 12th May 2023. The Zanmik Shrine is at the location shown in the pictures below.

Enter the shrine and jump down from the left side to reach the lower level. Grab a slab there and use it to complete the circuit as shown in the picture below.

Completing the circuit will enable the giant wheel to rotate as shown in the picture below. Grab spheres from the pool and attach them to the giant wheel. The rotating wheel will take the sphere to the top. Then the sphere will take the slope to reach the hole at its bottom as shown in the picture below.

Go to the pool and pick up spheres and attach it to the rotating wheel. You will also find a chest on the left side of the pool as shown in the picture below. Use the Ultrahand ability to pick up the chest. then open it to get a Strong Zonaite Longsword.

Now take the ladder up and you will see a ball in the hole as shown in the picture below. If you don’t see a ball in the hole, then grab one attached to the giant wheel and put it into the hole. This will open the iron gate ahead. Go through it to get the Light of Blessing, completing the shrine.
