Step-by-step solution

Lever Power uses one seesaw-like platform as both a ball launcher and a way to throw Link across the room.

1. Hit the lower target

Attach the bowl. Use Ultrahand to attach the bowl-shaped piece to the end of the platform nearest the entrance.

Load the ball. Put the large metal ball inside the bowl.

Hit the lower target. Lift the box over the opposite end of the platform and drop it. The ball launches into the lower target, opening the gate that holds a wooden plank.

2. Launch to the chest

Extend the platform. Remove the bowl for now and attach the plank across the middle of the platform.

Launch to the chest. Stand on the plank, drop the box on the other end, and glide right at the top of the launch. Open the chest for a Spicy Elixir.

3. Lengthen the lever

Make the lever longer. Return to the mechanism, detach the plank, and reconnect it to the far end of the platform.

Position the bowl. Attach the bowl at the plank’s second horizontal line rather than at its tip, then place the metal ball inside.

4. Hit the high target and launch to the altar

Hit the high target. Raise the box as high as possible over the opposite end and drop it. The ball should strike the upper target.

Launch to the exit. Stand on the long end of the platform, drop the box again, and glide toward the altar when you reach the top of the arc.

Altar. Examine the altar for the Light of Blessing.
