Ancient Technology

is a recurring element in.

BotW: was created by the BotW: 10,000 years ago. All forms of BotW: are powered by BotW:, a fluid found in BotW:, on BotW:, and underneath BotW:. When it is active, BotW: glows a pale blue or orange color, but when BotW: is infecting it, it glows a vibrant pink.

BotW: led to BotW: becoming considerably advanced during the BotW:. With the state of their BotW:, the people of BotW: decided to prepare for the return of BotW:. However, following BotW:'s sealing, the BotW: and the rest of the BotW: felt threatened by the BotW:, and so they were forced to abandon their BotW:.

100 years ago, when a BotW: foretold the resurrection of BotW:, BotW: ordered excavations in search of BotW:. As part of this endeavor, the BotW: was founded to study BotW:, lead by BotW: and BotW:. Since there were concerns about the use of the potentially dangerous BotW: so close to BotW: and BotW:'s recklessness, BotW: became a royal advisor to oversee the BotW:'s work. BotW: herself often researched BotW: in her BotW:. When BotW: did eventually return, he used his BotW: to corrupt BotW:'s defenses. This lead to the deaths of the NaN Championss and BotW:, and BotW: was mortally wounded while defending BotW:.

During the BotW:, the BotW: was destroyed, eventually becoming the BotW:. Two new laboratories were established by BotW: and BotW: to continue their research. At the BotW:, BotW: has studied the NaN Runes of the BotW:. Meanwhile, BotW: has focused his research on creating NaN Weapons that are effective against NaN Guardians. These locations require the BotW: from NaN Ancient Furnaces, a source of BotW:, to power their NaN Guidance Stones.

BotW:
When BotW: wakes up in the BotW:, he will find the BotW: located in a BotW: nearby. He hears the voice of BotW:, who tells him to take it and that it will help guide him on his journey. The BotW: is able to interface with other pieces of BotW:, such as NaN Sheikah Slate Terminals. This allows BotW: to activate the NaN Travel Gates on NaN Ancient Shrines, NaN Sheikah Towers, and NaN Divine Beasts.

The primary function of the BotW: is its NaN Runes. On the BotW:, BotW: can acquire several NaN Runes for his BotW:. These are the NaN Remote Bombs, BotW:, BotW:, and BotW:. At the BotW:, BotW: can use her BotW: to restore the BotW: BotW:, in addition to unlocking the BotW: and the BotW:. If Series: compatibility is turned on in the BotW: menu, the BotW: BotW: will appear in the BotW:. Finally, during DLC Pack, BotW: will obtain the BotW: BotW: after completing the BotW:.

Structures
A multitude of structures in BotW: have been constructed with the use of BotW:. Unlike other pieces of BotW:, they have remained untouched by BotW:, though they are all initially in inactive states.

One such building is the BotW:, a medical facility with the power to induce a long-term stasis in its patients. Following his collapse during the BotW:, BotW: was taken to the BotW: to recover, eventually culminating in his awakening 100 years later. During the "BotW:" BotW:, which is exclusive to DLC Pack, the BotW: serves as the entrance to the BotW:.

NaN Sheikah Towers are another type of structure made with BotW:. They are all initially buried beneath the ground, save for the top of the BotW:. Once BotW: activates the BotW:'s BotW:, it and all other NaN Sheikah Towers will rise from the ground. After a BotW: has been activated, its BotW: will distill information for BotW:'s BotW:.

The most common structures made from BotW: are the NaN Ancient Shrines. A total of 120 NaN Ancient Shrines can be found throughout BotW:, with 16 more being added in DLC Pack. They were designed by BotW: NaN Monks to train the hero who would one day fight BotW:. Following the activation of the NaN Sheikah Towers, all NaN Ancient Shrines will begin to glow orange. At the end of these NaN Ancient Shrines, a BotW: will award BotW: a BotW:.

BotW: features several structures made using BotW:. The five NaN Giant Columns surrounding the BotW: were made to store NaN Guardians, only emerging from the ground once they sensed the revival of BotW:. Unlike other structures, they have been corrupted by BotW:'s BotW:, now glowing pink. The same is true of the BotW:, which is located beneath the BotW: and was once used by the BotW: to study celestial bodies. When BotW: confronts BotW:, the pair will fall through the floor of the BotW: and into the BotW:, where they will proceed to fight.

NaN Enemies
10,000 years ago, the NaN Guardians were created to protect BotW: during the BotW:. During the battle against BotW:, the NaN Guardians defended the BotW: of the time. However, along with other forms of BotW:, they were buried when the BotW: were cast out.

The NaN Guardians were rediscovered during BotW:'s excavations. However, BotW: ended up corrupting them and using them against BotW: upon his return. 100 years later, many NaN Guardians are still under the effects of BotW:, and they will attack anyone who draws near. The only exception are the NaN Guardian Scouts found in NaN Ancient Shrines.

NaN Divine Beasts
The main defense against BotW: were the four NaN Divine Beasts. They are known as BotW:, BotW:, BotW:, and BotW:. The NaN Divine Beasts were built prior to the first BotW: 10,000 years ago. Four NaN Championss were selected to pilot the NaN Divine Beasts during the battle. When BotW: returned, the NaN Divine Beasts unleashed their attacks upon him. As with other pieces of BotW:, they were buried following the splintering of the BotW:.

100 years ago, secret records kept by the BotW: were able to guide BotW:'s excavations to BotW: and BotW:, where BotW: and BotW: were respectively found. Further excavations revealed BotW: within BotW: and BotW: near BotW:. Four NaN Championss were again chosen to pilot the NaN Divine Beasts. These NaN Championss were BotW:, BotW:, BotW:, and BotW:. At the moment of BotW:'s return, the NaN Championss were not with their NaN Divine Beasts, allowing them to become quickly corrupted by his BotW: while they were away. When they finally made it back, they would be greeted by the NaN Blight Ganons, which would eventually lead to their deaths.

During his journey, BotW: will be given the "BotW:" BotW:, which tasks him with purging the BotW: that has infected the NaN Divine Beasts. If BotW: frees a BotW:, its pilot will aid him during his battle against BotW:.

NaN Weapons and NaN Armors
The NaN Weapons made with BotW:, known as BotW:, are effective for use against NaN Guardians. They are most commonly wielded by NaN Guardian Scouts, who can be found in NaN Ancient Shrines and NaN Divine Beasts. As part of his research, BotW: has developed new NaN Weapons and BotW: using BotW:. These are the BotW: and the BotW:. They can be forged with the BotW:, his modified BotW:.

Though not made of BotW: themselves, many NaN Weapons and pieces of BotW: are made using BotW:. For example, the BotW: utilizes noise-suppressing fabrics, which are known to be made BotW:. NaN Weapons from the BotW: were forged 100 years ago using BotW:, and they were designed to arm the BotW: for the impending BotW:. Finally, several pieces of modern BotW: were made with BotW:.

NaN Materials
NaN Ancient Materials are a type of BotW: dropped by NaN Guardians upon their defeat. They are also common rewards from NaN Treasure Chests throughout BotW:. They can be used to enhance pieces of BotW: at NaN Great Fairy Fountains, forge BotW:, and upgrade the BotW:'s NaN Runes.
