Walkthrough
The puzzle world can be found to the north, close to the graveyard.
The area starts with a pressure plate puzzle. To keep the pressure plates actuated, the player needs to kill the Ancient Statues in the Present while they’re standing on the plates. This will cause them to petrify, and they will maintain actuation as long as they're not broken.
Next, there is an enemy encounters in the room following the pressure plate puzzle. Progressing further will reveal a large room with a locked door and a chest. Opening the chest will reveal a monkey with a key, which will run away and summon more monkeys. You need to defeat the monkey holding the key, and get it before any other monkey picks it up, to be able to progress.
Afterwards, there is a phasing puzzle which utilizes mirrors and time rifts. Phasing through a time rift will send the character through time instantly. Progression requires lining up the Past and Present puzzle parts to be able to traverse further.
The final room has a toy-themed puzzle. Entering a time rift to the Past will cause most of the toys to break. Some of them are able to actuate the pressure plates by falling on top of them, which you can use to your advantage. One of the pieces will instead break glass holding an Ancient Statue, which can be used to actuate a pressure plate inaccessible by puzzle pieces.
A certain puzzle piece will fall upwards and create a walkable path where it falls. By causing it to fall through the gap in the path above, a bridge can be created. Additionally, it can be used to access the chest in the Present, which has a 
Toy Axe in it.
The crown is in the middle of the elevated area, outside. It can be dug out just like any other treasure spot. Finally, you can return to Tessen to turn in the quest.
