Biography

Breath of the Wild

Ke'nai Shakah is a Sheikah Monk who serves the Goddess Hylia. Following the first Great Calamity and the ostracism of the Sheikah 10,000 years prior to Breath of the Wild, Ke'nai Shakah became a Monk and constructed an Ancient Shrine to help prepare Link against the threat of Calamity Ganon.[4][1]

Following Link's Slumber of Restoration in the Shrine of Resurrection, the Ke'nai Shakah Shrine is activated and can then be entered by someone bearing a Sheikah Slate.[5] When Link enters the Shrine, he is greeted by the Monk and is offered the Shrine's Trial in the name of Hylia.[2] If Link completes the Trial, Ke'nai Shakah praises him and rewards the Hylian Champion with a Spirit Orb.[6] With their role fulfilled, Ke'nai Shakah wishes Link well as their body fades away.[7]

Other Appearances
