Utsushok Shrine Puzzle Walkthrough

To solve the Utsushok Shrine, you will have to come up with ways on how to make a ball move across a rail and land into a hole at the end of the track.

The first track is simple as you simply need to move the paddle using Ultrahand and raise it about 45 degrees from its hanging position. Let go of the paddle and the ball should move just enough that it would slowly drop into the hole. If the ball fails to go down, raise the paddle a little bit more.

For the second track, you will need to use the cube and attach it to the paddle to give the paddle a bit more weight. Position the cube so that it’s in the middle of the paddle and so that it would not scrape the ground as it swings. Then, raise the paddle high so that it becomes parallel to the ground, then let go. If it becomes hard to raise the paddle, try to reposition Link and adjust the Ultrahand distance with the up and down keys.

For the last track, you will need to get the cube from the second track if you want to grab the chest along the way; set the cube aside for now.

Grab the metal board and attach it to the paddle, making sure that it sitcks out enough to hit the ball, but not low enough so that it does not scrape the ground. Raise the paddle high so that it becomes parallel to the ground and then let go. Once the ball is in the hole, a cart will be dispensed on the higher track. Move the cart to the track that leads to the statues.

You will need to use the ball again so detach the board and use it as a way to get the ball. Get the board as close to the ball as you can, then attach it to the ball. Grab the board with the attached ball back to your platform.

Next, detach the ball from the board and attach it to the narrow side of the paddle. Then, on the ball, attach the cube on the side so that it becomes the paddle for the cart. Adjust the cube forward so that it will make contact to the cart as it swings.

As for the board, attach it lying flat on top of the cart, wide edge forward, and make sure that it’s placed centered on the cart. This will serve as your platform enough to give Link some space to run up to the chest.

Once everything is set, climb on to the board on the cart, then raise the cube-ball-paddle as high as you can without falling off the cart; you will only need enough of a push to reach the platform with the chest. As the cart moves, prepare to make a jump towards the chest. This chest contains a Sneaky Elixir.

From the chest platform, you can simply jump and glide towards the statues so that you can get your Light of Blessing and complete the shrine.

That’s how to solve the Long or Wide puzzle in the Utsushok Shrine; you’re now one step closer to completing all 152 shrines in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You can go to our other shrine guides to collect more Lights of Blessing:
