Overview
introduces a new BotW:, as well as several NaN Side Quests to obtain new NaN Items. After freeing the four NaN Divine Beasts and speaking to the four leaders of each respective tribe, BotW: is telepathically contacted by BotW: who tells him to return to the BotW: on the BotW:. After inserting the BotW: in the pedestal there, a BotW: known as BotW: speaks to him. He promises BotW: that if he can prove his worth, he may tame a BotW: of his own. BotW: presents BotW: with the BotW: and instructs him to use it to defeat the NaN Enemies present in four different NaN Monster Strongholds. Once each BotW: has been cleared, an BotW: appears. Once BotW: has spoken to the NaN Monks in each BotW:, the BotW: splits into four orbs and spread across BotW:, causing large NaN Monuments to rise from the ground.

The NaN Monuments activate in BotW:'s presence, displaying maps revealing the locations of further trials. BotW: encounters BotW: at each of the NaN Monuments, who sings for him verses of his master's "BotW:" about the NaN Championss of BotW:. In each of the NaN Ancient Shrines, BotW: receives an Emblem specific to a BotW:. After obtaining three of each, he is able to enter the BotW: and battle once again against the corresponding BotW: afflicting the BotW:. After besting the monster, BotW: experiences a vision of each BotW:'s memory of the moment when BotW: requested them to pilot a BotW:.

After defeating the four NaN Phantom Ganons, BotW: is instructed to return to the BotW: and place the BotW: once again into the pedestal. The chamber seals itself and descends deep into a labyrinth; a BotW:. BotW: instructs BotW: to navigate the labyrinth and activate four NaN Terminals that control a lock on a large stone door at the rear of the BotW:. Once the four locks are disengaged, BotW: proceeds through the opened door to find BotW: himself meditating on his pedestal. Before BotW: can report his completion of the BotW:, BotW: rises and reveals there is to be one final trial. He transports the two of them to a floating platform in the sky and announces that BotW: must battle and defeat the BotW: himself.

Once defeated, BotW: alters the layout of the floating platform to present BotW: with the BotW:, a BotW:. He allows BotW: to acquire the BotW: to summon it before transporting him outside the BotW:. BotW: encounters BotW: once again, who reveals that he has finished the verses of his master's BotW: and plays to BotW: the finished ballad. While listening to the BotW:, BotW: experiences one final BotW: of the day he and his fellow NaN Championss were officially inaugurated at BotW: by BotW:. The BotW: culminates with BotW: taking a photograph of them and BotW: with the BotW:. BotW: announces that he finally understands the true power of music, and gives BotW: the photo which he found amongst his teacher's belongings. BotW:'s voice speaks to BotW: once again, congratulating him on conquering all of the trials. She informs him that he is now truly powerful enough to finally defeat BotW:.
