In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Hyrule is filled with puzzles for you to solve, some of which come in the form of Shrines. Some Shrines are harder than others, like the Mayamats Shrine, located on Rutimala Hill, in the southwestern part of Gerudo Highlands. This Shrine features the «A Route for a Ball» puzzle, here's how to solve it.

Upon entering the Shrine, the door to the exit will be directly in front of you, which can be unlocked by getting a large ball into the hole next to it. Off to the left is a chasm, with fans to propel you to the other side.

Glide across to find yourself in a new section, with the large ball to the left, the optional chest directly in front of you, and another area off to the right that isn't accessible yet. The large ball to the left is not the ball needed to unlock the door, that would be a small ball we will find later. Use Ascend to reach the ball and bring it to the metal rails that are going over the chasm you cleared. First, place the ball in the small gap in front of the optional chest and jump across to access it.

Next, we will access that other area off to the right. In order to get there, place the big ball in the funnel space in the wall, so you can Ascend up through the ball and into the new area.

Here, there is a smaller ball getting dropped onto two platforms, heading from left to right. In front of that is a small set of rails heading perpendicular to those platforms. To get the ball, pick up the larger ball and use Ultrahand to slowly move it up the rails towards the smaller ball. Bring it back slowly and jump on top of it.

Use Recall to make the big ball move on the path
