You will need to attach the bowl to the white slab and place the ball inside it. Then, you must lift the large cube using Ultrahand and drop it on the edge of the board. The ball should hit the bottom target and unlock a small room containing a wood plank.

Next, you must unstick the bowl from the slab and attach the plank to the edge. Afterward, you can place the bowl and put the ball inside it again. With the board being longer, the ball should be able to land on the upper target and unlock the gate to the statue chamber.

Instead of heading straight to the statue, you can throw Link into the air using the device and drop him on a small platform near the seesaw. The chest will contain a Spicy Elixir that grants you cold resistance for a limited amount of time.

After you claim the extra reward, you can jump back down and use the seesaw again. This time, you can go to the statue room and obtain a Light of Blessing.
