Mipha Court, on the mountainside east of Zora’s Domain. The entrance is caked in sludge — one Splash-Fruit arrow washes it off. Coordinates match our 152-shrine table.
Ihen-a Shrine hands you stones that ignore gravity and asks for architecture.
1. Build the Crossing Path
Staircase. Strike a hover stone to freeze it, place it with Ultrahand, repeat — build steps up to the raised platform. (Unstruck stones fall like normal rock.)
Floating bridge. Freeze a big stone mid-chasm and lay the metal panel on it.
Ramp. Reuse the same bridge pieces, tilted against the next platform.

3. Bumper Launch to the Altar
Take the stone sphere from the table and fix it under a hover stone near the bronze bumper mechanism.
Stand on that hover stone, then shoot the pedestal that triggers the bumper — it punches the stone (you riding it) across to the far platform.
Drop the sphere into the circular cavity: the gate opens. Take the Light of Blessing.

At Mipha Court, directly east of Zora's Domain, at 3786, 0578, 0503 — glide east from Upland Zorana Skyview Tower. Clear the sludge off the entrance with a Splash Fruit fused to an arrow.
How do hover stones work in Ihen-a Shrine?
A hover stone stays exactly where it is once you strike it — even midair. Lift it with Ultrahand, place it, hit it, and it becomes a fixed platform; hit it again to release.
Where is the chest in Ihen-a Shrine?
In the room past the floating bridge, the chest sits on a high compartment: stack hover stones beside it, climb up, and open it for Arrow ×5.
