Just like the shrines of the previous game, the shrines inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomforce you to make use of your entire repertoire of abilities, and in this game, they’re a bit more complex than a few bombs.

Makasura Shrine is one of those shrines, and there are a few ways to complete it. You’ll need to know how momentum works, what to expect of the Zonai devices you encounter within, and how to react to suddenly being flung across great chasms. Oh, and it’ll help if you have a few Arrows before heading in.
How To Complete Makasura Shrine: An Upright Device
This shrine puzzle will have you using a varied mix of your abilities. Firstly, you need to ascend the very tall wall in front of you. To do this, simplyuse Ascend while underneath the overhanging ledgewith gaps in it.
Now that you’re up here, you’ll be introduced to a Zonai device thatforces itself upright when activated. You have one on its own (to experiment with) and one attached to a metal wall with a ledge on top.
Strike the device attached to the wall, and it will launch itselfupright. you’re able to nowclimb the wall, stand on the ledge, and use the height you’ve gained toglide on over to the next sectionof the puzzle.
Here, you’re confronted with another wall attached to an uprighting device, along with a slot for a ball. The ball you need is behind some bars that you cannot bypass with Ultrahand.
UseUltrahandto grab the wall and use the ledge tohang it on top of the barred wall. Then, you’ll want toset up a series of events that you’ll take advantage of with Recall, since it is impossible for Link to jump high enough to climb the wall in this position.
You should be able toride the wall back to the barsand then climb up and over.
On the other side of the bars,pick up the balland place it into the bowl attached to the wall here. Also,attach the Zonai devicehere to the edge of the wall nearest the bars.
Stand at the furthest edge of the wall,inside the bowl, andshoot an arrow at the device. It will upright itself, flinging you and the ball into the main area.
Place the ball inside the slotto open a gate to the other part of the puzzle. You’ll gain access to another wall with a bowl on it.
Now, at the edge of this area, closest to the end of the shrine, build the following structure with the three objects you have available to you:
This will make a very tall tower when the Zonai is activated.
Get into the bowl andactivate the Zonaiwith an arrow. When it uprights itself, it should fling you towards the shrine’s exit.
