Siwakama Shrine, ‘Moving the Spheres’ walkthrough

This shrine is primarily a ball puzzle-based challenge. In all of the puzzles, you will need to place giant balls on platforms for you to run and jump over.

1. In the beginning, you will be in a small room with a path that goes forward. There is also a space in this pathway. If you look across to the other side of the room, you’ll see a giant ball. Use UltrahandGrab it and put it on the middle of your path.

2. Now you have a giant ball at the center of your path. You can now run across the path by jumping over it.

3. In the next room, you’ll see another gap that you have to pass through and yet another ball. This time, the floor between the gaps is slanted so you can’t set the ball down. You will have to create a path with Ultrahand, then use Recall.

4. You can grab this chest before you finish the room. Position Link so that he’s looking towards the end of the shrine. Jump down and head to the lower part of the shrine. (You’ll know you’re in the right spot when you see a ladder and a cube-shaped stone next to the left of the ladder.)

5. The rock will be destroyed when the ball rolls down and hits the surface of the ramp. The ball will then roll and crush the cube rock. The rock is now visible. . It is open and you can collect it. Five Bomb Flowers.

6. You can solve this puzzle now. Climb back up the ladder and onto the platform from which you have jumped.

7. Hold the ball in place with Ultrahand to allow you jump. While doing this, hold the ball at the exact same spot for several seconds using Ultrahand. Then let go. The ball will fall.

8. Recall the ball you rolled. Link’s Recall ability will bring the ball back up to the spot where you previously held it with Ultrahand. While the ball is on the correct spot, jump across. This will allow you to move across if you keep the ball still with Ultrahand as in step one.

9. The third room is the final one. The gap between the two rooms is now much larger, and you’ll need to use the same trick as in the last one to cross.

10. Grab the giant ball lying on the floor using Ultrahand. While using Ultrahand you must move the ball slowly from one side of the area to the other. Drop the ball and use Recall once more.

11. It will then reverse course. The ball will now reverse its course. The ball can be collected now. The Light of Blessing.
