Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Karahatag Shrine Puzzle Torches

Disregard the switch momentarily. Before we solve the puzzle with the three torches, we’ll get the optional treasure chest:

  1. You’ll spot a walkway with a lit candle to your right.
  2. Stand by the candle, then Paraglide down to the alcove beneath the entrance platform.
  3. Open the chest to get a Mighty Construct Bow.
  4. Utilize Ascend to return to the platform above.

Now to solve the torch puzzle:

  1. Step on the switch.
  2. Notice that when the switch is pressed, the platform lowers, and three pyres extend from the ceiling.
  3. Put the lit candle onto one of the white tiles.
  4. Step on the Switch, let the candle lower, and then step off to raise it again.
  5. Now, step on the switch and use recall on the candle.
  6. It should rise up and light the pyre after a second or two.

Repeat this process with the remaining two fire pillars by placing the lit candle onto the other two tiles. Once all three pillars are lit, an exit gate on the right will open. Advance through it to complete the Karahatag Shrine puzzle and claim the Light of Blessing.
