Piloted by four {{Plural|BotW|Champions|link}} from across the land, they paved the way for victory against Ganon.<ref name="ImpaQuote"></ref> 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 {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} were buried beneath the ground, and their existence passed on into legend. | ||
Over 100 years ago, due to rising fears of the return of {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}, the Royal Family of Hyrule ordered that the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} 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 {{Term|BotW|Mipha|link}}, Rudania was piloted by the Goron {{Term|BotW|Daruk|link}}, Medoh was piloted by the Rito warrior {{Term|BotW|Revali|link}}, and Naboris was piloted by the Gerudo chief {{Term|BotW|Urbosa|link}}. | Over 100 years ago, due to rising fears of the return of {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}, the Royal Family of Hyrule ordered that the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} be unearthed and readied for another battle owing to a fortune teller's prophecy.

Their mission failed when Ganon, now aware of the threat that the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} posed to him, sent the four Blight Ganons to wrest control of each Beast. The Blights succeeded; the pilots of each {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}} were killed, and Ganon took control of the four Beasts.

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 {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s awakening, and due to Zelda's power fading, Ganon began to stir. And with him arose the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} and the {{Plural|BotW|Guardian}}, still under his command. Ganon used them to bring further strife to Hyrule: Ruta caused an unending rain on {{Term|BotW|Zora's Domain}} that threatened to flood all of Hyrule, Rudania caused {{Term|BotW|Death Mountain}} 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 {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Desert}}. | However, shortly before {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s awakening, and due to Zelda's power fading, Ganon began to stir.

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. | The Divine Beast Vah Ruta resembles an elephant, and its element is water.

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 reorients the interior of the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}}. The Main Control Unit is located on the top deck, between the Beast's 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. | ||
