Link (overlooking the Shrine in the depths of Hyrule Castle): This is it! The last Shrine in the game (before DLC)! And just what challenge did I save for last? Link: Lighting a torch. (yes, just that)
597 - A Beacon of Hope
The one Shrine they tucked away in the final dungeon, and it's this

Zelda (voice over): Link, a Blood Moon rises over Hyrule once again! All slain monsters will rise and walk the earth as if death never came! Please be careful when- Link (joyously tearing his clothes off as Hallelujah sings in the background): YES!!! FINALLY!!! I'M FINALLY FREE!!! AH-HA!!!
595 - It Can FINALLY End!
This comic does not adequately describe just how long I spent sitting around waiting for this damn blood moon!

Goron: ANOTHER CARAVAN HAS BEEN ATTACKED!!! Hylian: BUT THE HERO'S BACK!!! HE'LL BE LIBERATING HYRULE CASTLE ANY MOMENT NOW, I'M SURE!!! Link (angrily standing on the Shrine platform in his underwear): I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna stay right here, right at this very spot, until I get a goddamn Blood Moon! I don't care how long it's gonna take, I don't care if Ganon leaves the castle and kills everything, I want the fucking classic tunic already!
594 - I'm Holding Out For a Hero For Quite a While
I don't think the ancient Sheikah considering how much time would be a factor in the future

The entire page is covered in the blood and severed heads of dozens of Bokoblins ov various colors. Link stands at the edge of this pile, covered in blood himself. Link: ... Now, I may be jumping to conclusions, but I'm starting to think that killing enemies has no effect on triggering Blood Moons.
593 - Just Some Harmless Genocide
If he had to learn, did it have to be AFTER so many monsters died?

Korgu Chideh: To you who has conquered the challenge and opened this Shrine, I reward you with- An arrow is shot right into the monk's face. Link (fuming near the entrance): Stupid ass island challenge, making me miss the Blood Moon to open the other stupid Shrine! Had enough of this shit!
589 - A Bitter-Sweet Victory
It's not you or your Shrine, Korgu Chideh, it's just the timing of it all

Link (covered in blood and sweat): Okay, the Hinox is dead (somehow), now to find the other orbs... The Blood Moon rises over Hyrule (all while Link is stuck on Eventide Island working on the Shrine Quest there). Link: ... WHAT THE FUCK!?! AND WHILE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A THING!?!
588 - Blood Moon (and pressure) Rising
The rage I felt that day

Korgu Chideh (overlooking Eventide Island): To open the Shrine on this island, you must find the three orbs used to open the path while traversing the dangerous beasts that dwell here. The big catch: you cannot bring any of your weapons and armor, only your Sheikah Slate. Link (already nude): Oh no, I'm gonna lose all of my shit just by going to this island? Oh the huge manatee! Link (with a rock hiding all of Link's weapons in view): How will I be able to make up for all the lost goods I've built up over my adventure? There's no way I could possibly cheat the system for when I finish! No way whatsoever. None at all.
586 - What We Call a "Pro Gamer Move"
An early warning from my brothers helped me get a leg up on this challenge

Stephen (on his computer): Okay, so according to the Internet, I can trigger a Blood Moon in Breath of the Wild by killing a bunch of enemies until it happens. Link (covered in the blood of countless dead monsters): If mass murder won't open the Shrine, I'll burn the Internet to the ground, I swear to Moses!
585 - The Internet Never Lies!
I can't have been the only one relying on the deceitful Internet to find out how to cheat this

Link enters the darkened part of northern Hyrule to take on the Shrine Quest in the pitch-black maze. It is too dark to see anything. Link: Okay, might as well get this mess over and done with. A maze in darkness over a tar pit, how fun. Link: I guess this is a step up from Vah Rudania, but still not a desired situation to be in. (I'm blind enough in real life!) Link: No wait, I have a torch! Cool, that should make this way easier! Link the lights the torch, unaware of the Blue Hinox towering over him at this very moment.
582 - Follow You Into the Dark
In retrospect, I may have been a bit too harsh on this challenge, it's just a little scawy

Link (over a depiction of a Nakey (naked) Link, with a censor bar labeled "gross" over him, standing under a Blood Moon): To open this Shrine, I must stand on this platform in the buff during a Blood Moon. Link (removing his Climber's Bandana): Interesting choice of side quest. Guess I'll get this one over with. And thus began Link's journey in dealing with the single worst Shrine Quest in the entirety of the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Link (in the distance, as Kass plays his accordion off-screen): Any minute now...

Link holds a (metal) sword up in the air during a thunderstorm while standing atop a peculiar hill. Link: I HAVE THE POWER!!! Lightning strikes Link, a massive BOOM sounding out around Faron.

Sports Commentator: This is truly a sight to behold: an awesome spectacle! The Champion of Hyrule, chosen wielder of the Master Sword, cross-dresser extraordinaire Link: testing his mettle in the sand seal races for a chance to enter the Shrine! Truly, this is the challenge of a lifetime! Link (shield surfing with a sand seal): To be perfectly honest, this is more of a leisurely ride.
562 - Wacky Races
Surfing with sand seals is cool and all, but it's more chill than exciting

Link charges through Gerudo Desert carrying an abnormally large block of ice, while Lizalfos watch in confusion. Link: IGNORE ME IGNORE ME IGNORE ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pokki (slumped over a Shrine terminal): Ughhhhhhhhhh, I'm so thirsty! I've been wandering this desert for days, and I'm at my limit! All I need is a drink, just one Noble Pursuit, and I will have enough energy to move away from this Shrine and get back to civilization for another drink. Link: Okay, I don't know if this is dehydration or alcoholism, but whatever gets you out of my way, I guess.

Link launches one of those Shrine puzzle orbs using Stasis across the sea, splashing in the water... and a ways away from the shore. Link (watching the ball drift): ... I could just hope it'll float the rest of the way... but I think I gotta swim it over... (softly) Or Cryonis it if I can remember I have it.

Yiga Blademaster: Muah-ha-ha! I forced that doddering old fool to give me the orb in order to lure you here and kill you, Hero! For Master Ko- Link (off screen, confusing the Yiga Clansman): You made Paya cry. Link (menacingly, an aura of flames darkening his image): A sin that can only penanced by your blood! The thing of Link's blade against the light of the fire frightens the Yiga Clansman.

Link (exasperated): Okay, so Paya needs me to do some side quests that I need to access a Shrine. Fine, what's the damage? Unchecked - Flown the Coop Unchecked - By Firefly's Light Checked - Find the Fairy Fountain Link (looking at the checklist): ... Not... too bad then? (softly) Not great, but whatevs.

Link (traversing a maze): Okay, so given how long it took to navigate the last maze, I know not to underestimate the intricate design of the developers. Link (immediately finding the Shrine): Oh hey, there it is.

An ancient platform sits at the bottom of a river near a waterfall. Link (battered and bruised atop the falls): Gotta get the landing just right. I'mma gonna get it!

Link (dismounting the deer): Okay, the Shrine is open now. Be free! Link watches the deer scamper off for a moment. Then Link pulls out a bow and notches an arrow. Link shoots the deer, leaving behind some Raw Prime Meat. Link: Soup's on!

A majestic deer stands alone in a meadow. Link, in his stealth armor, leaps to the deer, who leisurely walks away. Link faceplants on the ground in a BOOF. Link (frantic): Wait, come back! I need to mount you!

What? I needed him to open a Shrine! What other context could you possibly take with that last line?

Once upon a time, there were three cyclops brothers who terrorized a peaceful village (pictured are the three Hinoxes and a grey box with the words "Insert Frightened Villagers Here"). It took a brave champion hero to slay the three mean monsters (pictured is a crude drawing of Link killing one of the Hinoxes). The villagers were so happy, they bestowed upon him a glowy orb and lightning sword for his troubles (pictured is Link holding a Great Thunderblade and Spirit Orb, cheering "Yee!" while grey circles labeled "Insert Happy Peeps Here" cheer on). Link (closing a storybook): And the story was passed down to everyone, leading to a successful Disney adaptation, generous royalty checks, and a souless live action remake.

Link (over a horde of dead Bokoblins): Now that all these Bokoblins are dead, I can focus on the Hinox in peace. Link (holding a Shock Arrow): Maybe I'll try to electrocute his nuts while he's sleeping. Unbeknownst to Link, the Black Hinox is looming over him with a fist at the ready over his head.

A swarm of bees attack a Blue Hinox, but it's not enough to do any real damage, and it chases Link. Link: BEES!!! WHY HAVE YOU FAILED ME!?!

Link (rolling a Round Remote Bomb to a sleeping Red Hinox): WAKEY WAKEY BOMBS AND BAKEY!!! The bomb is detonated with a loud KABOOM. As the smoke clears, the Hinox is seen still sleeping soundly. Hinox (mumbling in its sleep): ...................Iwannaridethepony.................... Link: Or I'll just wake you up normally.
509 - Hit the Snooze
Okay, but even if I didn't roll the bomb close enough, it should've woken up!

Stone Tablet: Kill all three giants on Mount Tara and claim their orbs to reveal the Shrine. Link: Yes, I get to kill big monsters, terrorizing the people of this land! Link (in a zoomed-out shot of the mountain, showing how barren and empty it is): All of the people... saving them... And getting the Shrine Orb.

Link (triumphantly holding up his prize, Wind Waker style): And with some great practice, I managed to snag a dragon scale! Naydra: Now you need to sacrifice the scale to reveal the Shrine hidden in the spring. Link (raising a middle finger high into the air as the scale flops into the spring): FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!

Sacrifice one important treasure for another. Sigh.

Link shoots Fire Arrows all over the place, missing whatever the target is. Link: Okay, what the hell? I know there's a Shrine tucked away somewhere here, so why isn't this working? What else could I possibly shoot at or blow up to open it up? Meanwhile, a very obvious breakable wall stands behind Link, with an arrow saying "IT'S RIGHT HERE, DUMBASS"
