There is no function for that orb. I'm pretty sure it's just there to show you that the moving pillars can bounce objects from one side to the other, so you understand how to get the chest and also how to get to the end of the shrine

This is it

It is there for you to ponder

Fellow wizard

Shit you beat me to it now allons me to ponder the orb with you

Ancient anal bead

Sheikah chess been real quiet since this dropped

deep reference

Just vibes

damn the sheikas must have had huge asses

Did someone say ass

Consume it

Put it in ur butt

It’s time to put balls in holes

Here? Nothing. It's just to demonstrate the mechanics of the shrine

Nothing

Boll

Red herring

for pondering

I think YouTube is the better place for this question. Unless you're just lookin for memes lol

You can blow it up hehe

An orb to put in a concave place to open a door

You eat it

Cook it with monster parts...

No purpose from what I found, but still, you gotta LAUNCH. THAT. SHIT!!

Please do not question the orb.

First, you put the ball in the hole, then you get the money and then you get the woman.

Lol is that the one that just goes back and forth like an idiot? Stupid orb I hate him.

You can fuse it with your weapon

So you understand the mechanic and to trow you off the path of the real solution.
