Divine Beast

The are four titanic mechanical animals built by the ancient BotW: in order to aid the BotW: and the BotW: in sealing away BotW: some 10,000 years before the events of.

History
10,000 years ago, the BotW: built the elephant, Ruta, the salamander, Rudania, the eagle, Medoh and the camel, Naboris, to combat the anticipated revival of BotW:. Piloted by four BotW: from across the land, they paved the way for victory against Ganon. Shortly after this, the king of Hyrule at that time–gripped with fear due to the awesome firepower that these technologies possessed–had all further research and development abolished. The NaN Divine Beasts were buried beneath the ground, and their existence passed on into legend.

Over 100 years ago, due to rising fears of the return of BotW:, the Royal Family of Hyrule ordered that the NaN Divine Beasts be unearthed and readied for another battle owing to a fortune teller's prophecy. After several years, all four of these machines were found after intensive excavations. This time, Ruta was piloted by the Zora princess BotW:, Rudania was piloted by the Goron BotW:, Medoh was piloted by the Rito warrior BotW:, and Naboris was piloted by the Gerudo chief BotW:.

Their mission failed when Ganon, now aware of the threat that the NaN Divine Beasts posed to him, sent the four Blight Ganons to wrest control of each Beast. The Blights succeeded; the pilots of each BotW: were killed, and Ganon took control of the four Beasts. But following Zelda's containment of Ganon at BotW:, for nearly 100 years thence, the NaN Divine Beasts and all of the NaN Guardians under his control lay dormant. This gave the survivors of the Great Calamity time to try and recover, and for life to begin to flourish once more in the land of Hyrule.

However, shortly before BotW:'s awakening, and due to Zelda's power fading, Ganon began to stir. And with him arose the NaN Divine Beasts and the NaN Guardians, still under his command. Ganon used them to bring further strife to Hyrule: Ruta caused an unending rain on BotW: that threatened to flood all of Hyrule, Rudania caused BotW: to erupt endlessly, Medoh prevented the Rito from soaring at their preferred altitude, and Naboris caused an unending sandstorm–complete with risk of deadly lightning–in the BotW:.

When BotW: awoke from the Shrine of Resurrection, he set out to free the NaN Divine Beasts from Ganon's control. He entered each BotW: and defeated the Blight Ganons controlling them, freeing the spirits of their pilots in the process. At BotW:'s confrontation with BotW:, the NaN Divine Beasts unleashed their power to weaken Ganon, just as they did 10,000 years prior.

Divine Beast Vah Ruta


The Divine Beast Vah Ruta resembles an elephant, and its element is water. The trunk is opposable and can spew an infinite amount of water. It can even spray water into its interior, which causes a large waterwheel to turn, allowing access to the upper sections of the Divine Beast. Ruta is also capable of using the Rune Cryonis to protect itself. Its Main Control Unit is located at the Divine Beast's rear. Ruta is named after Ruto, the Sage of Water.

Divine Beast Vah Rudania


The Divine Beast Vah Rudania resembles a salamander. Its element is fire. It has four compartments near each of its legs that store Guardian Sentries. Rudania can climb vertically like an actual salamander, and doing this rotates the interior of the Divine Beast by 90 degrees. The Main Control Unit is located on the top deck, in the center of the Beast's back. Its name, Rudania, is an anagram of Darunia, the Sage of Fire.

Divine Beast Vah Medoh


The Divine Beast Vah Medoh resembles an eagle. It represents the element of wind. To protect itself, it uses a force shield maintained by four generators - one on each wing, one near its head, and one near its tail. The middle section, the wings, can tilt side to side. This is normally used to help Medoh turn in the air, but it also re-orients the interior of the BotW:. The Main Control Unit is located on the top deck, between the Beasts wings. While the other Divine Beasts are named after Sages, the namesake of Medoh is less clear. With its pilot being a Rito, it may be named after Medli, the Rito Sage of Earth.

Divine Beast Vah Naboris


The Divine Beast Vah Naboris resembles a camel. Its element is thunder. The "humps" are actually powerful lightning generators, which it uses to protect itself. The interior of the BotW: is split into three cylinders, each of which can rotate a full 360 degrees. The center cylinder contains the Main Control unit on one side of a platform, and a BotW: power source on the other side. BotW: states that Naboris is named after Nabooru, the Sage of Spirit.

BotW:


As part of the "BotW:" BotW:, it is revealed that the BotW: BotW: can acquire a BotW: of his own through completing the trials given by BotW:. After defeating the monk as part of his BotW:, he will award BotW: with the BotW:, a BotW: created for the "true hero". Like the other NaN Divine Beasts, it is modelled after an animal, specifically a BotW:, though unlike the other NaN Divine Beasts it is much smaller in comparison and takes the form of a motorcycle with a horse motif. Due to its BotW:-like design, certain characters like BotW: identify it as such. BotW: can activate it via the BotW: BotW: which allows him to summon the BotW:, though he is unable to do this in certain areas such as BotW:. Like a BotW:, BotW: can mount and ride it, engage in mounted combat while riding it, and use it to run over enemies. However, unlike NaN Horses, it requires Fuel which can be produced by filling its tank with materials.

The Divine Beasts all appear in. In the timeline before the HWAoC:, the HWAoC: will be assigned their original NaN Championss and be piloted in certain scenarios, armed with cannons and projectiles for heavy splash and strong damage.

Trivia

 * In, TP: mentions that the TP: have long believed that the Hero would appear as a divine beast. Though a different type of beast appeared eventually, this is the first mention of the divine beasts in the games.
