Step-by-step solution

The Sky Mine Crystal sends Link up the mine’s launch-pad chain before the green crystal is dropped back to the shrine island.

1. Build Aircraft and Fly to Sky Mine

Build the approach aircraft. On the island southeast of Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower, attach a fan to a Zonai Wing. Add a Steering Stick for easier control.

Fly east. Point the aircraft toward Sky Mine and use Zonai Charges if it needs more power during the flight.

4. Get and Deliver the Green Crystal

Move to the mineral-covered island. From the upper part of Sky Mine, travel to the nearby island covered with mineral deposits.

Take the green crystal. Lift it from its pedestal and carry it to the edge above the shrine island.

Drop the crystal. Aim for the island where Gikaku Shrine stands and release it. If it misses, the crystal respawns on its pedestal.

Follow it down. Jump to the shrine island, recover the crystal, and offer it at the entrance.
