Discover all 25 shrines in Shadow of the Colossus, it's a big world, so having some extra save points is kind of nice.
Shadow of the Colossus is a simple game with little object interaction throughout the forbidden lands. One of the few objects Wanderer can interact with is the Shrines.
The shrines serve as a save point in the game. They are littered throughout the game. Some are apparent, others not so much.
