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

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

The BotW: is able to receive NaN 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 NaN Runes can be obtained and installed onto the BotW: at the four initial NaN Ancient Shrines found atop the BotW:.

The BotW: BotW:, the BotW:, and the BotW: features are unavailable at the beginning, as they are encrypted in BotW: text. They are restored when the tablet is brought to BotW: at the BotW:. Included in the BotW:'s BotW: are 12 NaN Photographs which were taken by BotW: a century prior. Upon completion of the BotW:, "BotW:", BotW: gifts BotW: the BotW: BotW:.

Before the second BotW:, the BotW: was used to activate the NaN 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.

The HWAoC: first appears in the HWAoC:, "HWAoC:", in, when Impa drops it after being chased by a horde of NaN Bokoblins. The Sheikah Slate then awakens the HWAoC: that was on the field lying dormant, and activated a Sheikah Tower in the middle of the battlefield.

The Sheikah Slate is mostly used in battles to use NaN Runes such as Cryonis or Magnesis, and the Sheikah Sensor can also be used to find out where objects needed to complete side quests could be found. In addition, Princess Zelda, from the start up until halfway through the Scenario, "Each Step Like Thunder", primarily uses the Sheikah Slate to compensate for her lack of sealing power during this time to take part in various battles.

The Sheikah Slate has several important roles, such as getting information from the memory of the Diminutive Guardian, and activating the Sheikah Towers all over Hyrule, helping them to gain full knowledge of the land, such as monster outposts and the Yiga Clan Hideout.
