Musanokir Shrine: Swing to Hit walkthrough – Zelda TOTK

Musanokir Shrine is all about hitting targets hard, and the first challenge in the shrine indicates how you should proceed. The bridge is too low to be used to cross the gap. Attach the iron block across the way to the ball and chain attached to the bridge. Now when you lift the bridge, the block will go underneath, propping it up enough for you to cross.

Take the iron block with you, and attach it to the ball and chain on your right. Pull the iron block back and lift it high, and when you let go, it should swing and hit the target.

In the final room there’s a block attached to a rail, making this a little trickier. First, you should attach the wood log in the room, to the block on the rail like a battering ram, aiming straight at the target on the wall.

Next, attach the iron block to the ball and chain dangling from the block on the rail.

Swing this iron block just as before, and the whole block should shunt up the rail, completing Musanokir Shrine.
