Step-by-step solution
Timawak Shrine turns lava into a river and hands you the means to swim upstream: Zonai hydrants make the stepping stones, Recall makes them go backwards.
1. Cross the Lava and Defeat the Construct
First room: the hydrant on your left pours water onto the lava, freezing stone slabs that drift downstream. Hop across them.
Beat the Construct waiting on the far side.
2. Recall Upstream and Retrieve the Orb
Upstream: wait for a slab to drift near, Recall it, and ride it back up to the orb platform.
Chest: push a slab far back toward the chest ledge with Ultrahand, pull it back to you, then Recall and ride — it replays the trip: Strong Zonaite Shield.
Grab a slab, drop it in front of you, and let the flow carry you back to the orb; take the orb, ride another slab to the previous room, and set it in its vessel. The gate opens.
3. Build a Fan Raft and Sail to the Altar
Last room: hit the Zonai fan on the right and ride its updraft to the upper platform; bring a hydrant down to the lower one.
Switch the hydrant on, hold it over the lava with Ultrahand so its water casts a fresh slab, then set that slab down and attach a fan to its rear.
Launch your raft, hop on, start the fan, and sail to the altar for the Light of Blessing.
