For fear of sounding like a whiny little kid, I need help in ICO.
The kicker is that my friend pointed out that I look up answers to puzzles that I can't overcome far too often. I think he's right.
So, if it isn't too much to ask, I'd like just hints and tips rather than answers to the problem.
I've been in the same series of rooms for over an hour. I'm at the part on the way to completing the west gate. I have my trusty sword, and we just encountered a waterfall. Upon traversing onto a brigdelike balcony, we made our way to a room that has pipes to climb on the ceiling. After maneuvering those, I hit a switch that puts a wooden machine into movement. If I were to step on a pedestal, it would launch me about 5 feet in the air - a few feet out of reach from the ledge above it. I managed to find a secret door that you push open, where Yorda activated a circular pedestal, which revealed a square cup-like statue. The statue will not move, activate, and it does not allow any further reach to anything. I'm stuck. I don't know where to go or what to do - I feel like I've tried about everything. What am I missing? Hints?

You do not state whether or not you managed to reach the ledge or not. I do not know how to say it any more subtly, but getting up on that ledge is a good start.

Got it. I tried jumping, but failed. After a few more tries, I figured it out. Thanks!

The statue is pretty much optional. But, if you hit a tree in that area, you can find a ball to throw it into, if you do, you get something neat.
