I think we need to bring local shrines back. Not in the sense of like, a church, but somewhere in a local community where offerings to the spirits, fae, deceased loved ones, can be left. not too dissimilar to community shrines to local spirits in Japan.

Fun Fact:

If you look at the four shrines on the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild, you can find a cool easter egg hidden within! The hand placement and positions of monks Oman Au, Ja Baij, Keh Namut, and Owa Daim can be lined up together to reveal a hidden triforce.

Oman Au (the creator of the Mangesis trial) holds the top triangle, that which represents strength and divine power.

Ja Baij (the creator of the Bomb trial) forms the triangle on the bottom right, which represents bravery and courage.

Keh Namut (the creator of the Cryonis trial) builds the bottom left triangle, which represents wisdom and knowledge.

Finally, Owa Daim (the monk of the Stasis trial) creates the inner triangle, which is empty space in the center of the original triforce.

Together, all four monks form the triforce---the ultimate symbol of The Legend of Zelda! Take a look here as well to see it more clearly:

Happy exploring!
