Unlike the other games, stealth is now a new game mechanic used in {{BotW}}. When Link obtains the [[Sheikah Slate]], he is able to recognise how much noise Link is making; when walking, crouching or attacking. Stealth can be used to sneak up on monsters (which can then be attacked with a {{Term|Botw|Sneakstrike|link}} for a significant damage bonus), [[Horse]]s, or creatures,<ref name="BotW Tutorial"/> and is used sometimes on characters, for example following {{Term|BotW|Oaki|link}} for ''The Lost Pilgrimage'' [[Shrine Quest]]. Certain factors - for example rain or tall grass - can also improve your stealth, as the rain will make your footsteps harder to recognize, and the tall grass will make you less visible. Link can also improve his stealth by using [[armor]] or [[food]] to make less noise coming from Link. There can be a maximum of level 3 Stealth boost, either by wearing a full set of stealth-up armor, or using more [[Material]]s in your food to grant a higher-level stealth boost.

However, a more traditional stealth mission occurs in the [[Yiga Clan Hideout]], when Link must defeat [[Master Kohga]] and obtain the [[Thunder Helm]] for [[Riju]]. This mission is very similar to the stealth mission at Gerudo's Fortress in {{OoT}}, where Link must sneak within the base without getting spotted. If Link is caught by a [[Yiga Blademaster]], they'll call some [[Yiga Footsoldier]]s to attack Link with the Blademaster. Although Link can defeat them, if Link is defeated, he will respawn at the entrance and have to continue heading. Link can also throw [[Mighty Bananas]] to distract the Yiga Blademasters for sections he cannot get past.
