Link presses the button.

"Unauthorized Entry Attempt. Clear the platform of unauthorized entities."

"Uh... That means it won't let you in, I guess."

"That's alright. I'm not really clear on where you're going if I'm going to try following you. This structure isn't big enough to contain the sort of thing you've spoken of it's possible that something weird is happening and the shrine's main space is actually here just concealed or compressed or maybe it teleports you farther away than you'd expect. I could maybe follow you if it's a teleport but I don't really want to try following if it's something else. My teleport isn't really flexible enough to deal with weird edge cases with complete reliability."

"Alright then... These have safely moved me around a couple dozen times, but if you don't want to you don't want to. See you in a bit?"

"If I had the option of using the known safe thing I'd use it. And if you teleport somewhere I'll try following. Just don't worry if I don't show up. I'll meet you here if I don't feel safe following."

Nod.

She hits the button.

The platform descends into the ground a few meters and pulses with magic without stopping - Link's no longer there, she's somewhere deep underground, going by the direction of that link.

Alice tries to peer around using her mapping system. Is it within five kilometers?

Yes. It's some sort of underground structure, though, perhaps two kilometers down, and not an especially large target.

Hm, safety first she tries teleporting a small beacon into the space.

There is enough space to arrive in! There's one person there already, and a few odd energy sources.

Alice will teleport then and collect her beacon.

"You can get in after all!"

The inside of the shrine appears to be mostly a puzzle of some kind. Magical fans and spinning windmills in a grid pattern.

"It looks like I can. I'm not sure if that means we can cheat at the puzzle or if we should try to. You might know better than I would."

"Hm... The monks' ghosts always say 'this is a test of strength' or 'this is a trial of skill'. Better not."

"Fair enough. The puzzle looks interesting anyway."

It turns out they have to orient the fans so that all of the windmills are receiving airflow.

Once they write out a sketch of the layout on Alice's computer, it's easily solved. A gate clacks open, revealing a glowing - tomb? - of a mummified monk beyond. "That one was on the easy side, honestly."

"Alright. Glad I was able to help."

"Quick question... Is getting orbs of power from mummified monks after doing puzzles they set up weird? Because it seems like it might be weird, but my perspective's a little off, I got resurrected and a princess and a goddess talk into my head sometimes."

"It's not something I'd expect no. I'm a little confused on who set this thing up and so I can't quite figure out what the goal structure is that has this result. Are the monk's neutral in the conflict or do they have opinions on ensuring people are worthy they're too stubborn to put aside in the face of the urgent problems facing the world or is there something else going on?"

When she goes up to the monk-mummy to claim her prize, she asks, "Why did the sages hide away and test me, instead of just giving me the spirit orbs...?"

"...Really? That doesn't make any sense."

"Well, if Nayru says so..."

"Apparently the precognitive spirit of wisdom, Nayru, thinks that if I get the spirit orbs too easily, it'll take longer to defeat Ganon."

"Oh, well that's more evidence your magic is very different. Precog isn't something our magic can do at all. I'm not sure what to make of the thing about things taking longer."

"I choose to be optimistic and think that I'll always triumph eventually. An extra few Blood Moons isn't something anyone wants though, so quick is good. Let's head back out?"

"Sure, I'll meet you back at the top." She jumps into the air and vanishes.

Link arrives through the shrine. They continue heading to the top. Link will just hum cheerfully if a conversation is not initiated.

Alice doesn't feel the need to start one.

"This place is really, really pretty. But gosh there's a lot of stairs."
