Master the Mallet Smash challenge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! This guide details how to use Ultrahand and Zonai Rockets to solve the Oshozan-u Shrine puzzles.
Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Oshozan-u Shrine, huh? It's called 'Mallet Smash,' which sounds a bit intimidating, but don't worry, it's more about using your noggin and Link's cool new abilities than actual smashing. We're going to use some Zonai tech to get this done!
Walkthrough
- 1When you first enter the shrine, you'll see a big log lying around and a Zonai Rocket. Your goal here is to use these to create a makeshift 'mallet' to hit a target in the same room. First, grab the log with Ultrahand and stick it onto the cube that's on rails. Then, grab that Zonai Rocket with Ultrahand, and position it so it's pointing towards the target. Now, attach the Rocket to that same cube. Give it a little nudge to set it off, and boom! The target should activate, opening the way forward.
- 2You'll move into the next room, and it's a similar kind of puzzle. Grab the smaller of the two logs in front of you with Ultrahand and attach it to the mechanism that's facing downwards. Next, pick up the larger log. Rotate it so it's at a 90-degree angle to the smaller one you just attached, creating a big, angled 'mallet.'
- 3Now for the final piece: grab a Zonai Rocket and attach it to the large log, just like you did before, making sure to keep that same angle. Once everything's in place, give the contraption a whack. It'll spin around, hitting the target you need to activate.
Doing that last bit will unlock the final door, and you'll have officially completed the Oshozan-u Shrine! Go grab your Light of Blessing.
Tips
- The key to this shrine is understanding how Ultrahand and Zonai Rockets work together. Don't be afraid to experiment with different angles and placements for the rocket!
- Make sure the rocket is firmly attached to your contraption, otherwise, it might just fly off uselessly.
- The game calls it 'Mallet Smash,' but since there aren't any actual mallets, think creatively about how you can use the available items to create a swinging or hitting motion.
