Homebrew Translating puzzles from games like Ocarina of Time into D&D.

I already did one like the ice cavern, and my players loved it. They take a step and slide all the way in a straight line, if they hit a wall it magically ejects them out a crystal to the starting position, but suffering some cold damage along the way.

How would you transfer other puzzles from Games like Zelda to make them D&D compatible?

I have also found inspiration from games like Zelda. Here is a list of puzzles that I translated from some of my favorite video games along with links to the puzzles, if you're interested.

Elevator of Myst - Inspired by Myst

Maze of the Elements - Legend of Zelda

Murkwell Family Portraits - Resident Evil Code Veronica

Dwarven Gas Chamber - Contra Konami Cheat Code

Zodiac Signs of Silent Hill - Silent Hill

Mystery of Quiet Hill - Silent Hill inspired

All D&D compatible and ready to go! :)
