Depending on the location, there are places where you can not make it unless you use Shield Surf.

Block Puzzle

Block Puzzle

There are two pillars and one of them is missing one block, you have to fit a nearby block to make it identical to the other. Some of the blocks are sunk in the water, so use Magnesis to get them from underwater.
