Hidden deep within the Gerudo Desert, the Siwakama Shrine challenges your balance, timing, and quick thinking. This guide walks you through its precise puzzles, from locating the shrine to solving every moving platform and fan mechanism with ease.
SiwakamaShrine location
Siwakama Shrine sits on the western edge of Hyrule Ridge, at coordinates -2289, 0929, 1513. Players reach it by heading northwest from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower, crossing the Tabantha Frontier toward the Thyphlo Ruins area. The structure appears as a standard shrine pedestal amid rocky terrain and sparse trees, visible after gliding down from higher points or paragliding across the gap from the nearby Mount Rhoam landmark. Fast travel to the shrine activates it directly for repeat visits.
Siwakama Shrine shrine is found within the Gerudo Desert region. It’s located on the eastern edge of the desert and is accessible by foot. Its exact coordinates are: (-2446, -3346, 0041).
SiwakamaShrine, ‘Moving the Spheres’ walkthrough
Siwakama Shrine, titled “Moving the Spheres,” challenges players with puzzles centered on rolling orbs and shifting mechanisms. You’ll need to use Recall and Ultrahand carefully to move the spheres into their proper slots, opening the path ahead. Timing and positioning are key, as each platform and sphere interacts differently. Completing the puzzle rewards you with access to the shrine’s chest and the Light of Blessing.
As the challenge suggests, this shrine will have you primarily working with ball-related puzzles. All of the puzzles will have you situated giant balls as platforms that you can run and jump across.
1. You will start in a room that has a path forward with a gap in it. If you look across to the other side of the room, you’ll see a giant ball. Use Ultrahand to grab it and place it in the middle of the path.
2. You now have that giant ball in the middle of the path. Use it to run and jump across to the other side.
3. Enter the next room and you will see that there is a gap you need to cross again and another ball. This time, the floor between the gaps is slanted so you can’t set the ball down. To solve this you will need to make a path using Ultrahand and then Recall.
4. Before we complete this room, here is a chest you can get. Position Link so that he’s looking towards the end of the shrine. Facing that direction, jump down to the lower area and walk to the left side of the room. (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. Grab the nearby giant ball and set it at the top of the ramp that sits directly across from the cube-shaped rock. The rock will roll down and destroy the rock. You can now see a chest. Open it and collect five bomb flowers.
6. We can now continue to solve the puzzle in this room. Use the ladder to climb back up to the platform you jumped down from.
7. Using Ultrahand, grab the ball and hold it in a middle spot, allowing you to jump across. As you do this, make sure you hold the ball in the same place for a few seconds with Ultrahand and then let go. The ball will roll down.
8. Now use Recall on the ball that rolled down. Link’s Recall ability will bring the ball back up to the spot where you previously held it with Ultrahand. Jump across while the ball is in the right spot. If you held it in one place with Ultrahand like in the previous step, this will give you some time to get across.
9. You will find yourself in the third and final room. This time around, the gap is much wider than the previous rooms, but you will use a similar trick to the last room to get across.
10. Using Ultrahand, pick up the giant ball on the ground. While still using Ultrahand, you need to move the ball so that it slowly moves the ball from the opposite side of the room over to Link. Then drop the ball, and once again, use Recall.
