We are used to seeing new tricks and secrets being discovered in Zelda: Breath of the Wild on a surprisingly regular basis, but here’s something a little different.
Zelda fan and modder Waikuteru is rummaging through the game’s archives, creating a visible and playable version of a sanctuary that was not included in the final game. As Waikuteru explains in the video below, the 136 Shrines available in the base game and its DLC are listed as ‘Dungeon000’ to ‘Dungeon135’, but there is also a secret ‘Dungeon136’ to be found.
As you can see when the Shrine is loaded, it appears to be a form of basic model used for development purposes and takes the form of a Blessing Shrine; Waikuteru speculates that it was probably a model that could be used to build new sanctuaries in the game.
Seeing an empty model shrine available in the game’s archives made us ponder the possibility of a Super Mario Maker-style shrine builder, similar to Zelda’s dungeon editor: Link’s Awakening. Imagine if players could create their own sanctuaries and puzzles in Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2!
