A Metroid engine theory ?

In Zelda BOTW the is some orbs and tunnels that fits these orbs. If you have the DLC and played the 5th dungeon/divine beast you have seen one of the puzzles that have orb and tunnels. What if new Metroid uses same engine? It would be so great!

I thought of the morph ball when you drop bombs down tubes. Because they 'glow' it also looks similar.
