Quick Links
The Ishokin Shrine inTears of the Kingdomis another one of the Shrines that involve tracking down a large, green shrine crystal to complete. While the crystal is hidden in plain sight, players will need to complete the “Ride the Giant Horse” Shrine Quest before they can return it to where it belongs.
InTears of the Kingdom, there are several unique horses that Link can tame. Two are giant horses, which as the Shrine Quest indicates, one of them will be required for the Ishokin Shrine. Those intending to complete this quest will want to set out for the Highland Stable near the Faron Grasslands (South of Hyrule).

Giant Horses costtwo and a half Stamina Wheelsto tame. These can be earned by completing Shrines and exchanging their Light of Blessing for a Stamina Wheel at a Goddess Statue. Alternatively, Link can get a quarter of a Stamina Wheel by assisting the Poe statue in theGreat Abandoned Central Mine.
If players are taming the Giant Horse, they’ll need to register him at the closest stable near Hateno Village, which happens to be theDueling Peaks Stable (1745, -1929, 00010). Alternatively, players can make a break for the Faron Region from Hateno, but it’s safer to register him in case something happens.
