Basically, from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower, you’ll want to keep going west until you reach the distant snowfields.

Tauyosipun Shrine location

As noted earlier, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Forward or Backward puzzle for the Tauyosipun Shrine requires the usage of Recall. You’ll see this immediately with the first puzzle. As the ball is rolling toward you, cast Recall on it to make it spin backward, allowing you to pass. As for the chest, you’ll want to cast Recall on the wheel until it appears. You may then use Ultrahand to grab it.

For the next puzzle section, there’s one ball that’s rolling down, as well as another that you can use. The goal is to step on the switch, which will close one end of the rail. When the first ball hits the enclosure, drop the second ball behind it. Then, cast Recall on the first ball, making it push its counterpart all the way to the target bullseye.

For the third puzzle section, you’ll see two rails and a ball that’s rolling until it falls off the chasm. The idea is to wait until the ball is rolling along the second/lower rail. Then, cast Recall on it so that it goes back to the top. However, when it’s in the middle of the gap, cancel Recall. This will cause the object to drop into the bullseye target.

• Wait for the receptacle to pass closer to your side.
• Use Ultrahand to place the ball inside it.
• Wait for the receptacle to pass the center with the target enclosure, cast Recall on the ball.
• Once it does, cast Recall on the ball. The ball will return to its original position, while the receptacle moves toward the opposite direction. When the ball is just above the enclosure, cancel Recall immediately, which will cause it to drop.
