Weird shrine in TotK not sure at all I did it the intended way. Forward Force, I think it was called?

Basically you have to transport one of those giant orbs through the shrine to get it to the thing that unlocks the door. Three main puzzles to it. The first is trivial though because you have to get it across a pool of lava but they give you a pre-built rover that will do it.

Second is where the games began: There's a platform on a diagonal slide with tiny ledges jutting out every so often to the side. You have a wheel, a board, and theoretically the rover you drove here. I quickly ruled out trying to use the board to create a road for the lide to travel on with the wheel. I was stumped here for a long time because the wheel doesn't seem to propel the sliding platform any. Eventually, and this felt like cheating, I activated the wheel, slid it up about halfway with ultrahand myself, and I guess the wheel gripped one of the ledges and held it there (it wasn't ultrahand attached or anything) so I could climb up to the end point and grab it from that side and pull it the rest of the way.

Then the third lmao: You have to get the ball across a river with the river's flow working against you. You have two rafts with two wheels each attached to them on the sides and some boards. Again, the wheels don't seem to propel the rafts, or at the least they're overpowered by the stream, even if you stick all four on one raft. Next I brought both rafts to me and tried to create a chain by going to the raft furthest upstream then taking the one behind and us and putting it in front but the stream pushed me back too fast to make any progress. Then I tried to create this nightmare of a device where the river is divided up into lanes like a swim meet and I thought I could use the boards to get the wheels to ride the tops of the dividers but I could never get the balance right and it kept tipping over during construction but I kinda wish I did just to see if the concept worked lol. Finally did it by Attaching the boards to the wheels on the side and creating like a... motor? paddles? and it awkwardly crossed the river. Not sure that was intended because it looked so weird but it worked.

Frustrating, but fun to try different ideas. I guess maybe I could have trivialized it with Zonai devices but I forbid myself from pulling them out and just like... making a hot-air balloon lol.
