Siwakama Shrine is a Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Siwakama Shrine is the Shrine that features the Moving the Spheres Challenge. Shrines are mini-dungeons, housing quick trials such as puzzles or short enemy encounters. Once a Shrine has been completed, the player obtains a Light of Blessing, an item key to obtaining more Heart Containers and Stamina Vessels, and the Shrine is unlocked as a Fast Travel point.

Siwakama Shrine Walkthrough Guide
Reaching Siwakama Shrine
Siwakama Shrine is located just north of the East Barrens in Gerudo Desert. Players can head sourtheast from Gerudo Town. You can attempt to drop down in this location from the nearest Skyview Tower which will be the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower, or travel there by foot or Sand Seal.
- Note: Navigating through the Gerudo Desert is best done after clearing away the Sand Shroud
Players can attempt to harness a Sand Seal or pay for one at the Gerudo Desert Gateway or the Gerudo Town entrances to reach the area. Otherwise, players can also travel to this location on foot.
How to Complete Siwakama Shrine
This Shrine focuses on moving giant spheres with Ultrahand to get through large gaps and obstacles. For the first section, use Ultrahand on the sphere across the gap and place it in the middle platform to create a bridge to the other side. Quickly hop onto the sphere and hop again over the gap. If you fall into the gap, there will be a ladder on the side that will bring your to the first starting platform.
Puzzle 2 & Chest
This time you are challenged with an uneven surface in the gap area. You will be provided with another sphere across the gap, but you will need to take the sphere from the previous area with you so that you have two spheres.
- Chest: Notice on the right-hand side that there is also a ramp facing down on the lower level. lift the sphere and place it on top of the ramp and allow it to freely roll downwards. This will clear away the stone wall underneath concealing the chest. Players who want to skip this step may also alternatively hop down and clear the wall with a heavy weapon. Loot the chest to obtain Bomb Flower x5
To continue, take both spheres and attach them side by side. This will create a wedge in between which can now be balanced on the corner platform provided in the center.
Puzzle 3
For this final section, your platform in the gap will now be in the form of a pyramid shape with one point in the middle. You will also be provided with one extra sphere. With that in mind, take the two previously fused balls and drag them into this area. You can now fuse all three balls together in the form of a triangle which will create a center hole that can be balanced atop the pyramid point, creating a secure bridge to get you across the final gap to the end.
