What is the Sensor For?

Detecting Unmarked Shrines

The Sensor detects nearby shrines you haven't discovered yet. It will produce a sound that becomes more frequent as you move towards the direction of an unmarked shrine. Take advantage of the sensor by being keen for an alerting sound when exploring!

Note that you will only hear the alerting sound when moving, so make sure to constantly move around when you're following the sensor.

To stop the sensor from detecting shrines, simply press Y () on the map screen.
