==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
{{TCB|-}} introduces a new {{Term|BotW|Main Quest|link}}, as well as several {{Plural|BotW|Side Quest|link}} to obtain new {{Plural|BotW|Item|link}}. After freeing the four {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast|link}} and speaking to the four leaders of each respective tribe, {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} is telepathically contacted by {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|link}} who tells him to return to the {{Term|BotW|Shrine of Resurrection|link}} on the {{Term|BotW|Great Plateau|link}}. After inserting the {{Term|BotW|Sheikah Slate|link}} in the pedestal there, a {{Term|BotW|Monk|link}} known as {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|link|display=Maz Koshia}} speaks to him. He promises {{Term|BotW|Link}} that if he can prove his worth, he may tame a {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}} of his own. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|display=Maz Koshia}} presents {{Term|BotW|Link}} with the {{Term|BotW|One-Hit Obliterator|link}} and instructs him to use it to defeat the {{Plural|BotW|Enemy|link}} present in four different {{Plural|BotW|Monster Stronghold|link}}. Once each {{Term|BotW|Monster Stronghold|display=Encampment}} has been cleared, an {{Term|BotW|Ancient Shrine|link}} appears. Once {{Term|BotW|Link}} has spoken to the {{Plural|BotW|Monk}} in each {{Term|BotW|Ancient Shrine|display=Shrine}}, the {{Term|BotW|Weapon}} splits into four orbs and spread across {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|link}}, causing large {{Plural|BotW|Monument|link}} to rise from the ground. | |||
The | The {{Plural|BotW|Monument}} activate in {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s presence, displaying maps revealing the locations of further trials. {{Term|BotW|Link}} encounters {{Term|BotW|Kass|link}} at each of the {{Plural|BotW|Monument}}, who sings for him verses of his master's "{{Term|BotW|Unfinished Song|link}}" about the {{Plural|BotW|Champions|link}} of {{Term|BotW|Hyrule}}. In each of the {{Plural|BotW|Ancient Shrine}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} receives an Emblem specific to a {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}}. After obtaining three of each, he is able to enter the {{Term|BotW|Illusory Realm|link}} and battle once again against the corresponding {{Term|BotW|Phantom Ganon}} afflicting the {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast|display=Beast}}. After besting the monster, {{Term|BotW|Link}} experiences a vision of each {{Term|BotW|Champions}}'s memory of the moment when {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda}} requested them to pilot a {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}}. | ||
After defeating the four | After defeating the four {{Plural|BotW|Phantom Ganon}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} is instructed to return to the {{Term|BotW|Shrine of Resurrection}} and place the {{Term|BotW|Sheikah Slate}} once again into the pedestal. The chamber seals itself and descends deep into a labyrinth; a {{Term|BotW|Final Trial|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|display=Maz Koshia}} instructs {{Term|BotW|Link}} to navigate the labyrinth and activate four {{Plural|BotW|Terminal|link}} that control a lock on a large stone door at the rear of the {{Term|BotW|Dungeon}}. Once the four locks are disengaged, {{Term|BotW|Link}} proceeds through the opened door to find {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|display=Maz Koshia}} himself meditating on his pedestal. Before {{Term|BotW|Link}} can report his completion of the {{Term|BotW|Final Trial|display=Trial}}, {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|display=Maz Koshia}} rises and reveals there is to be one final trial. He transports the two of them to a floating platform in the sky and announces that {{Term|BotW|Link}} must battle and defeat the {{Term|BotW|Monk}} himself. | ||
Once defeated, Maz Koshia alters the layout of the floating platform to present Link with the | Once defeated, {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia}} alters the layout of the floating platform to present {{Term|BotW|Link}} with the {{Term|BotW|Master Cycle Zero|link}}, a {{Term|BotW|Divine Beast}}. He allows {{Term|BotW|Link}} to acquire the {{Term|BotW|Rune|link}} to summon it before transporting him outside the {{Term|BotW|Shrine of Resurrection}}. {{Term|BotW|Link}} encounters {{Term|BotW|Kass}} once again, who reveals that he has finished the verses of his master's {{Term|BotW|Song}} and plays to {{Term|BotW|Link}} the finished ballad. While listening to the {{Term|BotW|Song}}, {{Term|BotW|Link}} experiences one final {{Term|BotW|Recovered Memory|link}} of the day he and his fellow {{Plural|BotW|Champions}} were officially inaugurated at {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle|link}} by {{Term|BotW|King Rhoam|link}}. The {{Term|BotW|Recovered Memory|display=Memory}} culminates with {{Term|BotW|Purah|link}} taking a photograph of them and {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda}} with the {{Term|BotW|Sheikah Slate}}. {{Term|BotW|Kass}} announces that he finally understands the true power of music, and gives {{Term|BotW|Link}} the photo which he found amongst his teacher's belongings. {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda}}'s voice speaks to {{Term|BotW|Link}} once again, congratulating him on conquering all of the trials. She informs him that he is now truly powerful enough to finally defeat {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}}. | ||
