At BotW:, BotW: will be impressed that he made it so far, as even he struggled to make it there by flying. He recounts that the BotW:, who served the BotW:, was forced to flee BotW: when the BotW: struck. He imagines that it was a much more dangerous journey than his own.

When spoken to at BotW:, BotW: will confess that he is homesick.

 * "BotW:" at BotW:
 * "BotW:" at BotW:
 * "BotW:" at BotW:
 * "BotW:" at BotW:

In his BotW:, BotW: pledges to continue his journey until he can pass the "NaN Ancient Songs" on to the BotW:.

Once BotW: solves the riddles in each of the "NaN Ancient Songs," BotW: returns to BotW:, where he will perform with his bandoneon next to BotW:.

During the day, he will be joined by his daughters, BotW:, BotW:, BotW:, BotW:, and BotW:, who sing along as he plays. Through his song, he wishes that the peace they have will last forever.

When visited at night, BotW: reveals that he has a song that he would like BotW: to listen to. He warns BotW: that he will take some time explaining himself, and he asks if he is fine with this. If BotW: agrees to listen, BotW: thanks him and says that he wishes to talk about his teacher, the BotW:.

BotW: informs BotW: that his teacher was a BotW: poet who lived in BotW: before the BotW: struck. During this time, the BotW: fell in love with BotW:, who he was close in age with. Unfortunately for him, BotW: was in love with her knight, BotW:, which made the BotW: jealous. However, BotW: claims that something changed after the BotW:, as the BotW: believed so deeply that BotW: would return to defeat BotW: that he wrote a song. BotW: then plays that song for BotW:, entitled the "BotW:."

After finishing the song, BotW: continues his story, explaining that the BotW: witnessed BotW: sacrifice himself for BotW: while fleeing the BotW:. Once BotW: explained what happened, the BotW: decided to begin collecting the "NaN Ancient Songs" in the hope that he could pass them down to BotW: upon his return. Turning back to BotW:, BotW: asks him if he accepts the "BotW:" from the BotW:. When BotW: agrees, BotW: thanks him for doing so. He recalls that the BotW: often spoke of BotW:'s beauty, and he expresses a desire to meet her and write a song worthy of her. He once again thanks BotW: for lending his time to him.

When BotW: speaks to BotW: again, he will express his gratitude that he listened to the "BotW:" for him. He tells BotW: to come back at night if he wants to hear it again, as it is the only time his daughters leave him alone. During the night, he will offer to sing it again for BotW:. Afterwards, he tells BotW: that he will be praying for his safety.

He is surprised to encounter another traveler in an isolated place like the BotW:. He notices that BotW: does not appear to be well, though he apologizes and explains that he understands the burdens of travel. He reveals that he came to the BotW: in search of an "BotW:" about a hero. BotW: has a feeling that he and BotW: were destined to meet here. He asks BotW: if he would like to listen to his song. If BotW: agrees to listen, BotW: tells him to open his ears and heart.

After playing the "BotW:," BotW: explains that he found it while searching through the BotW:'s old notes. He wonders what kind of sound could alarm a BotW:, though he is unable to answer this question. Visiting the locations mentioned in the song helps BotW: open his imagination. He reveals that there were other songs among the notes, and he plans on visiting locations associated with them as well.

As BotW: approaches NaN Monuments throughout "BotW:", he will BotW: nearby. After the first BotW: activates, he will notice a flash of light, though he believes it to be his imagination playing tricks on him. He points out the BotW: to BotW:, explaining that he is surpised to find something mentioned in his teacher's BotW:. When BotW: asks, BotW: reveals that the BotW: is mostly complete, though it is missing its key verses. BotW: wishes to complete the song, so he has started visiting the locations mentioned in the lyrics.

When BotW: visits subsequent NaN Monuments, BotW: will comment on either the flashing light or the BotW: itself. On several occasions, he will also be surprised to see BotW: nearby, and he is embarrassed to have been caught speaking to himself. Once he has greeted BotW:, he will direct BotW:'s attention to the BotW:, remarking yet again that these structures are mentioned in the BotW:'s BotW:. He then expresses his joy to be able to sing in such an important location.

At this point in their conversations, BotW: then reveals to BotW: that there is a verse of the BotW: dedicated to the respective BotW: of the BotW:, which he will proceed to sing. Afterwards, he asks BotW: if he was moved by his performance. By performing in the same spots and learning about the NaN Championss, BotW: in turn grows closer to the BotW:. As part of his research, he approaches key figures in the BotW: for information about their BotW:. When BotW: finishes speaking, BotW: will receive "BotW:," "BotW:," "BotW:," or "BotW:," depending on their location.

After BotW: faces the NaN Blight Ganons, he will encounter BotW: nearby. BotW: reveals that hearing about the BotW:'s respective BotW: has inspired him to honor them in songs separate from the BotW:'s BotW:. These songs are "BotW:," "BotW:," "BotW:," and "BotW:." Listening to them will cause BotW: to recall the "BotW:," "BotW:," "BotW:," and "BotW:" NaN Recovered Memories respectively.

Writing these songs allows BotW: to feel closer to the BotW:. As he continues his journey, he gets closer to completing the BotW:. He decides that the best setting for this song would be BotW:.

After BotW: completes the BotW:, he will exit the BotW: to find BotW: overlooking the BotW:. He notices that BotW: appears to be more accomplished since they last met. Due to this, he claims that he has a song he would like to perform for him. BotW: reveals that he has finally completed the BotW:'s BotW:. He states that the BotW: is the perfect place to sing the song, which describes the inauguration of the NaN Championss at BotW:. He then introduces the song, which he has titled "BotW:," and begins to play. Hearing the song causes BotW: to remember "BotW:" BotW:.

Once the song has been completed, BotW: declares that this ceremony made them all into NaN Championss. He recalls that the BotW: always advised him to write songs that transport listeners to the moment in time he is singing of, and he finally believes he understands that teaching. BotW: then reveals that he found something else when he was looking through the BotW:'s notes, and he believes BotW: should be the one to keep it. BotW:'s courage reminds him of the NaN Championss, so he believes the item will be safe in his possession. He gifts BotW: the BotW:. With one final thought, he wishes for the spirits of the NaN Championss to rest in peace.
