Found in thenorthmost portionof theLanayru Wetlandsregion is theRen-iz Shrine,a moderately challenging one that will put Link’s new abilities to the test, having him come up with creative ways to get the Ball in its goal to advance to new areas of the Shrine.
Ren-iz Shrine (Jump The Gaps) Walkthrough
TheRen-iz Shrineis a series of puzzles involving you having toput together rampsto successfullylaunch a Ball into a goalthat sits far across a bottomless pit, leaving no room for error. The solution for all puzzles and how to obtain the Treasure Chest can be found in the sections below!
Ren-iz Shrine First Puzzle Guide
Our first puzzle of theRen-iz Shrinehas a couple of interactable objects, theLong Stone Slaband theswitch that activates the Ball,dropping it down the steep ramp found opposite of its goal.
TheBall will roll down the ramp with tremendous speed.Your objective is to have itmaintain that speed and reach its goal.Fortunately, the first puzzle is more or less straightforward.
Grab theLong Stone Slabwith yourUltrahandandmove it toward the elevated white wall.You will notice asizable gapbetween the gap and the wall, along witha slight notch where the floor ends.
RotatetheLong Stone Slabvertically,thenangle it downwardslightlyto create a ramp-like object. Place thebottom of the ramp(the end closes to you)on that notch,having theupper portion of the ramprest on thetop of the elevated wall.
A bit of the Long Stone Slab will be hanging over the wall, but that’s fine so long as it is positioned in the center and sturdy. After youplace it, hit the orange switchtotrigger the Ball,which will have itroll down a steep ramp, then up the one you made, and into the goal!
Ren-iz Shrine Treasure Chest Guide
After completing the first puzzle,grabtheLong Stone Slabandbring it into the room you just unlocked.Here, you willfind another Long Stone Slab.Using yourUltrahand,attach one Long Stone Slab to the end of the other,creating an even longer Stone Slab.
Then, to the right of this area, you will see aTreasure Chestresting atop a raised platform.However,a sizable gapprevents you from easily reaching it.
Using the bridgeyou just created,place it over the gap, walk over it, up the stairs, and open the Chestto acquire theStrong Zonaite Shieldwith aDefense Potencyof26.
With your Treasure claimed, make your way back to the main floor,grab hold of the bridgeyou created with yourUltrahand,andshake one Long Stone Slab loosefrom the other, as you willonly need one for the next puzzle.
Ren-iz Shrine Second Puzzle Guide
For this next puzzle, you will need toattach the Small Stone Slab to the end of a Long Stone Slab,but theSmall Stone Slabwill have to beadjusted at a slight incline,essentiallycreating a small ramp at the endof the Long Stone Slab (as shown in the image above).
That isonly one-half of the solution,as theramp placement is crucialto getting the Ball into the goal. Placing the ramptoo close to the inside of the runwaywill have theBall miss its markby a long shot, and putting it too far away will create too big of a gap… or will it?
Thetrick to this puzzleis thatno gap is too big to stop the trajectoryof the Ball, meaning you mustplace your makeshift ramp just at the edge of the runway(as pictured above).
This will havetheBall skip over the gap with tremendous speed,maintain its momentum, and safely launch off your rampand into the goal.
So, after youposition your ramp in the center of the runway(the concaved area in front of the steep ramp the ball travels down), you cansafely hit the switchtosend the Ball down the ramp, across yours, and into the goalto complete the Shrine!
Placing the ramp too close to the edge may cause it to flip when the Ball hits it, so position it just before the edge, leaving a small section of the ground visible to avoid this from happening!
