The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Runakit Shrine (Built to Carry) will force players to move a large ball through different puzzles using nearby structures. The shrine can be found in Hyrule Ridge, northwest of Lookout Landing and a tad bit west of Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower. The coordinates for the shrine are -2534, 1170, 0177. This guide will show players how to complete the Runakit Shrine to earn themselves another Light of Blessing to increase Link's stamina or health.

The main goal of the Runakit Shrine is to build things to lead a large ball to the hole in front of the locked gate near the shrine's entrance. Start by using Link's paraglider to get to the ladder leading toward the ball.

Pick the ball up using Link's Ultrahand ability and place it on the track to roll it toward the next area. Use the paraglider to follow it. This next area will have a couple of poles for Link to use, and players must create something to get the ball down to the next section. There are a couple of different ways to do this, but we managed to use three of the poles to create a 'U-shaped' structure and then attach the ball to it, as seen in the image below.

The structure (and the ball) might get stuck for a second on the way down, but just use Ultrahand to give it a little nudge if needed.

In the following section, players will see a chest perched atop a platform with a ladder on the side. Again, there are multiple ways to reach it, but we attached five stone panels nearby to make an extra-long bridge and then placed it near the chest. For those wondering what the chest holds, it's a Construct Bow with a power of five.

And to finally get the ball down the next rail, we used the same exact structure as the previous puzzle.

Once the ball reaches the end of the path, pick it up using Ultrahand and carry it to the slot near the gate to finish the shrine and collect a Light of Blessing from the statues. And that's all players need to know about how to complete the Runakit Shrine in Zelda TotK.
