In order to enter an Ancient Shrine, Link must unlock the entrance by pressing his Sheikah Slate to the Sheikah Slate Terminal at a Shrine's entrance. Many of the Ancient Shrines where uncovered during King Rhoam's excavations for Ancient Technology, but they only began to glow after Link activated the Great Plateau Tower following his Slumber of Restoration. There are initially 120 Ancient Shrines scattered throughout Hyrule Kingdom. Most of the lakes in the Domain and the Zora River present heavy currents, making swimming an arduous task, even while wearing the Zora Set.After the Sheikah helped to seal away Calamity Ganon, they built the Ancient Shrines to serve as training grounds for the hero as he prepared for the revival of Calamity Ganon. Also, it may also be among the first areas that would feature Lizalfos, the most common monster in the province, extending its range to the outer fringes of Zora's Domain. The Wetlands to the west may well be the first feature of the Lanayru Province that the player encounters, and it has a wooden causeway that connects the various small islands. Though scalable, the mountains of Lanayru are taller than they are wide, and the availability of the Zora Armor, which makes swimming up waterfalls a fast alternative, makes scaling the mountains counterproductive. Some of this bluish stone, as well as Luminous Stone, are used in the Zora architecture.


The peaks surrounding the Zora's Domain and the road leading to it are crystalline in nature and have shades of blue.

Due to the ruggedness of the mountains and the presence of overhanging peaks, it may prove difficult and time-consuming to mine Ore Deposits in Lanayru.ĭue to the influence of the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, Lanayru has been plagued with constant rain for some time, though the province is naturally rainy, even after the Divine Beast is subdued. In the middle of Lanayru resides Zora's Domain, the home of King Dorephan and Prince Sidon. Its neighboring provinces are Necluda to the South, Central Hyrule to the west, Eldin to the northwest, and Akkala to the north.

The Lanyaru province is mountainous, and it has many lakes and waterfalls.
