As for the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Lightcast Island puzzle mechanics, you'll want to do the following:

  • Check out the tower with the beam of light that shines straight into a water-filled cave.
  • Head to one of the corners of the island and interact with the terminal. This will drain the water in the cave, allowing the light to reach the bottom.
  • There are several Mirror devices left on some rock ledges. Use Ultrahand to rotate these so that the light passes continuously to the end of the tunnel.
  • You can also pick up some loot from chests, such as 3x Mirror and a Star Fragment. There's also a Zonaite Helm, part of an armor set, which you can get at the halfway point of the tunnel. You can use Ascend to reach the ledge.

When the light reaches the opposite section, climb down and take out the Construct. It has a Mirror Shield, which you can flip so that it can still reflect the beam. This will let the beam hit the target in the large chamber. If the angle is wonky, you can use one of the Mirror devices that you just looted from the chest.

After solving the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Lightcast Island puzzle, a doorway will open. You'll notice steps carved on the side of the island. Follow it all the way down and enter the Ga-Ahisas Shrine. This is a Rauru's Blessing domain, and you can pick up a Star Fragment from the chest.

In any case, this is but one of many activities that you can do in the game. Don't forget to take a look at our Shrine locations main guide for all the other challenges that you can tackle. Likewise, since it's fairly close, you might as well do the Mayasiar Death Star or Starview Island puzzle.
