History
The Divine Beast Vah Medoh was created over 10,000 years ago by the Sheikah, along with the other three Divine Beasts and Guardians, to combat Calamity Ganon. Four Champions were picked to pilot the Divine Beasts, who launched a full-scale attack on Ganon, headed by a princess and a hero wielding the Master Sword. With their overwhelming technological might, their efforts were successful and Ganon was sealed away for a time.

110 years before the events of, the Royal Family of Hyrule was warned by a fortune teller of Calamity Ganon's return. In preparation of stopping Ganon's return, the Divine Beasts were rediscovered after being excavated and four Champions were chosen to pilot them. The Rito Champion, Revali, was chosen to operate the Divine Beast Vah Medoh. It was also during this time that Medoh served as the protector of the Rito people of Rito Village. However, despite Link's, Princess Zelda's and the four Champions' best efforts and preparations, Calamity Ganon surprised them by corrupting and taking control of the Divine Beasts. Revali was defeated by Windblight Ganon, a being created by Calamity Ganon to seize control of Medoh. The losing battle resulted in Link becoming mortally wounded and being taken to the Shrine of Resurrection to recover while Princess Zelda fended off Ganon alone while Link was dormant in the Slumber of Restoration.

A century later, Calamity Ganon's power grew strong enough to remotely control the Divine Beasts once more even in his imprisonment. Under Calamity Ganon's control, the Divine Beast Vah Medoh flies over Rito Village in the Hebra Region, threatening the inhabitants of Rito Village with the fear of being shot down by its cannons if they fly too high. This continues until Link arrives and subsequently liberates Vah Medoh from Ganon.
