Location and Uses
The BotW: is a multipurpose tablet bearing the Crest of the Sheikah. BotW: obtains it shortly after being awakened by a disembodied voice in the Shrine of Resurrection. Though BotW: has no recollection of seeing it before, he finds it familiar. He must first use it to get out of the Shrine of Resurrection.

The BotW: can be used to access the Map of Hyrule, which displays the current BotW: and time, and any Pin and Stamp placed. It also grants access to any of the many NaN Ancient Shrines and NaN Sheikah Towers located across Hyrule. BotW: must activate the NaN Sheikah Towers to extract the local Map to the BotW:. BotW: can use the BotW: as a Scope when the R Stick is clicked down. In addition to providing a closer view, the Scope ability provides a first-person view from which BotW: can set Pins.

The BotW: is able to receive Runes, a form of information that bestows the device a number of different abilities. They serve as a replacement for traditional items such as NaN Bombs. These Runes can be obtained and installed onto the BotW: at the four initial NaN Ancient Shrines found atop the Great Plateau.

The BotW: Rune, the Album, and the Hyrule Compendium features are unavailable at the beginning, as they are encrypted in BotW: text. They are restored when the tablet is brought to Purah at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. Included in the Camera's Album are 12 photographs which were taken by BotW: 100 years ago. Upon completion of the BotW:, "EX The Champions' Ballad", BotW: gifts BotW: the BotW: Rune.

About 100 years ago, the Sheikah Slate was used to activate the Divine Beasts.

The SSBU: makes an appearance in as part of SSBU:'s  Champion Tunic outfit and his Tunic of the Wild. It is mostly only used to summon out a round SSBU: and to detonate it.
