Oshozan-u Shrine (Mallet Smash)

Oshozan-u Shrine is a Zonai-rocket puzzle: you build swinging log hammers to hit a target, then a second hammer on a cog to open the exit. The chest on a high ledge holds a Zonaite Bow.

How to find Oshozan-u Shrine

The shrine sits on top of an ice pillar. Light a Hylian Pine Cone with a fire source at the pillar’s base and ride the updraft up, or glide in from higher ground at Mount Drena; a Zonai rocket fused to your shield also works (Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower, to the southwest, is the nearest launch point). The ice walls are slippery and the area is freezing, so bring Cold Resistance. Step on the blue platform at the entrance.

Oshozan-u Shrine solution

Hit the first target with a rocket and log

In the first room, use Ultrahand to attach a long log to the side of the square block on the rail, then attach a Zonai Rocket to the block. Fire the rocket (an arrow works) so the block slides down the track and strikes the target. The gate beyond opens.

Reach the chest on the high ledge

Past the gate, a chest sits on a ledge on the left. Fuse a Rocket to a shield (or to a log you stand on), activate it with an arrow and launch yourself up, then glide across to the ledge. Open the chest for a Zonaite Bow.

Build the cog hammer

At the far side is a cog that holds the next target. Attach a long log to the cog facing the chest, a second long log to the cog’s centre pointing back toward the first room, a small log to its end pointing down, then fix a Rocket to the side of the small log. Shoot the rocket with an arrow: the cog spins and the log smashes into the target, which opens the exit.

Take the Light of Blessing

Walk through the exit to the altar for the Light of Blessing.

The Lightroot below

Directly under this shrine, in the Depths, is the U-nazohso Lightroot. Light it from below to reveal that part of the Depths map.
