==Plot Elements==
*With the Divine Beasts freed and the Master Sword pulled, Link hears the voice of Princess Zelda, who reveals she has been watching him on his journey.
*Now that the Divine Beasts are free, there is another challenge that Zelda believes Link can overcome. She instructs him to return to the Shrine of Resurrection and place the Sheikah Slate into the Sheikah Slate Pedestal.
*When Link enters the Shrine of Resurrection and returns the Sheikah Slate, the Sheikah Slate Pedestal will verify him as a Champion and activate the Divine Beast Tamer's Trial.
*The Sheikah Slate is returned to Link, at which point a pedestal bearing the One-Hit Obliterator appears in the chamber. He is directed to take the Weapon to begin the Trial.
*Once Link takes the One-Hit Obliterator, he hears the voice of Monk Maz Koshia speaking to him, who warns him that he must be dedicated to undertake the Divine Beast Tamer's Trial. He explains that, while the One-Hit Obliterator is capable of defeating Enemies in a single hit, anyone who wields it can also be defeated in a similar way. It is only usable twice in a given period, which is indicated by whether or not it is glowing.
*Monk Maz Koshia instructs Link to prove his power by defeating the monsters found at the four locations marked on his Map.
*After each Monster Stronghold is cleared, an Ancient Shrine rises from the ground.
**Etsu Korima Shrine
**Rohta Chigah Shrine
**Ruvo Korbah Shrine
**Yowaka Ita Shrine.
*When Link leaves Rohta Chigah Shrine, he finds Kass performing a song nearby.
*As Link approaches him, Kass is surprised to see another traveler on the Great Plateau.
*Kass recognizes Link, but he realizes that he is unwell. Kass apologizes if he overstepped, assuming that Link is simply tired from traveling.
*Kass reveals that he came to the Great Plateau in search of an ancient song. He believes that he and Link were destined to meet at this location, so he asks him to hear the song.
*The lyrics describe a beast separate from the four Divine Beasts waiting for a hero, which is capable of making a sound that could rile Horses.
*Kass remarks how odd the song is and explains that he found it among the notes of his teacher, the Court Poet. He wonders what kind of sound would be capable of scaring a Horse. He plans on visiting other locations mentioned in the notes to help open his mind.
*Once all four Ancient Shrines have been completed, Link hears Monk Maz Koshia praising him for completing the trials.
*While Link has done well so far, there are more trials that the One-Hit Obliterator will lead him to.
*When Link draws the One-Hit Obliterator, it splits into four orbs, which fly into the sky before scattering across Hyrule. Where they land, Monuments rise from the ground. Monk Maz Koshia tells Link to go to the four Monuments to continue his trials:
**Urbosa's Song at East Gerudo Mesa
**Daruk's Song at Eldin Mountains
**Mipha's Song at Ju'Abu Ridge
**Revali's Song at Strock Lake
*Reoccurring Moment: For every trial completes (including the upcoming Final Trial), Link is given more memories of the live of Zelda, the Champions, and himself:
*#Zelda tracks down Rito warrior Revali and enlists him to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Medoh. During their encounter, she witnesses an impressive display of his archery skills, as well as the hidden side of his personality that makes it all possible.
*#Zelda enlists Daruk, the mightiest Goron, to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Rudania. Although he fearlessly fights off hordes of monsters with great courage, he has an unexpected weakness.
*#Zelda visits the Zora princess, Mipha, and enlists her to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Ruta. While teaching her brother Sidon to swim up waterfalls, Mipha entrusts him with the duty of the Zora royal family, displaying her dedication as both princess and sister.
*#Zelda entreats Urbosa, the Gerudo chief, to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Naboris. After Urbosa formally accepts, the two companions take a nighttime stroll in the desert, and Urbosa shares cherished memories from their shared past.
*#Link, Mipha, Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa are called to Hyrule Castle and formally appointed as Champions by the king. After the ceremony, they congregate at the castle's garden where Mipha asks Zelda for a favor...to use the Sheikah Slate's Camera for a special picture.
*After all four trials are completed, Link will hear the voice of Monk Maz Koshia commending him for his efforts in the Divine Beast Tamer's Trial. Link is now be able to access the Final Trial in the Shrine of Resurrection.
*When Link returns to the Shrine of Resurrection, Monk Maz Koshia tells him that he must face one Final Trial, which can be accessed by placing the Sheikah Slate back in the Sheikah Slate Pedestal.
*When Link approaches the Pedestal, he is once again be instructed to return the Sheikah Slate. Once it has been placed in the Sheikah Slate Pedestal, it will be confirmed. The chamber's door will close as it begins to descend into the ground.
*When the doors open, Link is able to see an overview of the Final Trial. Monk Maz Koshia welcomes him to the Trial, instructing him to retrieve a Map from the Guidance Stone ahead. Once he does so, he receives a Divine Beast Map, which grants him some control over his environment.
*Inside the Final Trial, Link traverses four chambers, each based around a specific element:
**Fire
**Water
**Electricity
**Wind
*In each chamber, Link must activate a Terminal, which will authenticate his Sheikah Slate. Once this is done, one of the locks on the door in the back of the Final Trial gets deactivated. He is then informed about how many Terminals have yet to be activated.
*After activating the final Terminal, Link opens the door to access the last part of the Trial.
*Past the door, Link finds the Monk's Pedestal bearing Monk Maz Koshia. When he approaches the Monk, Maz Koshia remarks that he has the heart of a hero.
*Slowly, Monk Maz Koshia stands, at which point he offers Link one last trial.
*Link is Warped away to a platform above the Great Plateau.
*Monk Maz Koshia Warps into the center of the platform, and he begins Link's last test.
*After defeating Monk Maz Koshia, he congratulates Link for proving himself as a hero.
*Link is allowed to wield an ancient masterpiece. The center of the platform splits open, and the Master Cycle Zero rises from inside. When Link places the Sheikah Slate under the Guidance Stone, it distills the Divine Beast into a Rune.
*Monk Maz Koshia reiterates that this Divine Beast is destined for a hero. He wishes Link well before he is Warped away.
*Link appears outside of the Shrine of Resurrection on the Great Plateau.
*Kass stands nearby, overlooking the Forest of Spirits and the rest of Hyrule. When he notices Link, Kass recognizes that he has accomplished something since they last met. He would like to share his teacher's Unfinished Song with Link, which he has completed. It recounts the Champions' inauguration 100 years ago at Hyrule Castle. He has entitled the song "The Champions' Ballad", which he then proceeds to sing to Link.
*As Link looks upon Hyrule Castle, he suddenly remembers "The Champions' Ballad" Recovered Memory.
*After the Memory concludes, Kass explains that this was the day that cemented the Champions' roles. He recalls his teacher telling him to write songs that could transport listeners to the past, and he now understands the power of music he was speaking of.
*Among his teacher's notes, Kass found an Item that he would like Link to keep.
*Link reminds him of the spirits of the Champions, and so he believes that he will treasure it. He gives Link the Picture of the Champions.
*As the two overlook Hyrule Kingdom, Kass wishes that the souls of the Champions will be able to rest in peace.
*The voice of Princess Zelda calls out to Link, telling him that she has been watching over his trials. With the power he has, Zelda says that he is now capable of defeating Calamity Ganon.
