====Immortal Dragons====
After The Depths was exposed by the cataclysm, the dragons also flew through the Great Holes and can occasionally be found in the Depths.
In addition to the three immortal dragons seen in Breath of the Wild, a fourth immortal dragon called the Light Dragon now appears flying across the whole of Hyrule's surface. In addition to harvesting their horns, scales, claws, and teeth, Link can now climb onto their backs for shard spikes. Mortals are also capable of becoming dragons themselves in a process known as draconification, which specifically entailed eating a Secret Stone beforehand, which came at the cost of losing their original identities, or at the very least reducing them.
The Light Dragon is later revealed to be Princess Zelda herself, having undergone the process of draconification to ensure that the Master Sword could be restored and eventually reach Link. Ganondorf draconifies himself as well in the final battle in a last ditch attempt at killing Link and spreading an endless night throughout Hyrule, where he is fought as the Demon Dragon. Zelda as the Light Dragon also aids Link during the final battle against the Demon Dragon, and is eventually restored to her original form by the ghosts of King Rauru and Queen Sonia. It is likewise heavily implied the three immortal dragons in both games were a product of draconification.
====Enemy Dragons====
Gleeoks appear as dragons in the game. Across Hyrule, there are Flame Gleeoks, Thunder Gleeoks, Frost Gleeoks, and King Gleeoks.
