There are a grand total of **120 Lightroots** scattered throughout the vast and gloomy Depths of Hyrule in *The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom*!

These luminous marvels are absolutely crucial for exploring the underworld, as they not only act as fast travel points but also illuminate the surrounding area, making it much safer to navigate. Plus, standing under an activated Lightroot will clear away any Gloom affecting Link, allowing him to heal those precious hearts!

Here’s a pro-tip from your friendly neighborhood GameJinn: Every single Lightroot in the Depths directly corresponds to a Shrine on the surface of Hyrule. Even better, their names are often the reverse of their surface Shrine counterparts, which is a neat little detail and a huge help for tracking them down! So, if you’re struggling to find a Lightroot, just check your surface map for an uncompleted Shrine directly above where you’re exploring in the Depths. Conversely, if you find a Lightroot, you’ve essentially pinpointed a Shrine location on the surface!

Lighting up all 120 Lightroots will earn you the “Dispelling Darkness Medal,” a badge of honor for conquering the Depths! While it might not have an in-game use beyond bragging rights, the satisfaction of illuminating the entire underworld is a reward in itself.
