The next morning, Link and his friends returned to the Ancient Tech Lab. Purah had needed him to do one thing for her: transport the blue flame from a special furnace to the furnace at the tech lab. It was easy enough; he had managed it in half an hour.

With that, Purah had managed to fix the last of the broken functions of the Sheikah Slate. "I recovered the photos Zelda saved on the Slate," Purah said, showing Link a dozen pictures on the Slate.

"I...I took those photos," Link realized.

"Do you remember where or why?" Purah asked.

"...No," Link admitted.

"Hmm. Well, I'm sure it will come back to you," Purah assured him. "In the meantime, I also managed to fix a few other functions of the Slate for you."

"Teleportation rune," Link read.

"With this, you can teleport between any two gates registered on your map," Purah explained. "Allow me to demonstrate."

She took Link to a pad in front of the tech lab's front door. The pad was reminiscent of the floor in front of one of the Sheikah shrines.

She pressed a button and the pad started glowing. Before Link knew it, he and Purah had warped to the tower on the Great Plateau.

Purah pressed the button again, and they warped back. "And you can do that with any two gates you've registered with the Sheikah Slate," Purah said. "But it won't work if you haven't registered the gates, which you do by unlocking a Shrine or activating a tower. So, sorry, but you can't just warp to wherever you want without traveling the long way at least once. And don't expect to do this whenever you're in danger. You need a shrine to teleport from as well as a shrine to teleport to."

"I can see how that would be useful," Link said.

"It would be very useful," Claude added. "You wouldn't happen to have, say, twenty-seven more Sheikah Slates lying around?"

"No," Purah informed him. "I might be able to come up with something for some of you soon, but at the moment, I don't. I wasn't expecting Linky to have a whole company with him, after all."

"Nobody ever does," Dorothea said.

"Well, thanks," Link said to Purah. "If there's anything I can do for you..."

"Actually, there is," Purah said. "There's a shrine in Hateno Village. I wanna see what's inside!"

Link had tried to talk Purah out of it, but she wouldn't budge. In the end, he had been forced to comply with her demand, though he had managed to get her to agree to let Ingrid and Dorothea come with them to keep her safe, though he obviously hadn't said that was why he was bringing them with him.

"To you who sets foot in this shrine…" Link glanced back at Purah, who seemed taken aback by the voice. "I am Myahm Agana." Purah gasped next to him and began writing in her notebook. "In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer this trial."

"Wow, you described the voices before, but that's kind of creepy," Ingrid commented.

"Oh, I'm not worried," Dorothea said. "With a good , strong knight like you here, I'm sure we're in safe hands."

Ingrid eyed her cautiously. "Thanks," she said tentatively. "But it doesn't look like there's anything dangerous here. Unless you count this flight of stairs."

Link and Purah climbed the stairway, followed by their two companions. At the top, there was a strange apparatus. Link attempted to use it to guide a ball through a maze. However, the controls were difficult to use, and the ball ended up falling into the void.

The maze reset itself and a new ball fell into the starting spot. Link tried again to guide the ball to the end, but failed again.

He took a deep breath. This was going to be hard.

After almost two hours, in which all four of the adventures tried and failed several times to guide the ball to its destination, Dorothea finally got the ball to the end of the maze. The ball then activated a switch, opening a door to the shrine monk.

"Your resourcefulness in overcoming this trial speaks to the promise of a hero," the monk said, a spirit orb floating into Link's chest.

"I didn't really do anything here," Link admitted.

"True," the monk admitted. "But that is what I was supposed to say."

He turned to the girls. "Ingrid Brandl Galatea. You have the spirit of a great knight. But no knight becomes great on her own. Trust in your companions. Dorothea Arnault. Know that what you seek, you must find for yourself before it can be given to you."

Ingrid looked quizzically at Dorothea. Dorothea shrugged, seemingly understanding the monk's words no better than Ingrid.

"And Purah. Be strong. Guide the hero. Do not fail as we did."

"I won't," Purah promised.

Outside of the Shrine, Link was looking through the pictures on the Sheikah Slate. There were several pictures of a number of subjects. Plants, animals, insects. There were more than a few pictures of Link himself on the Slate. Interestingly, most of them seemed to be in the second half of the photo gallery. Perhaps that was significant somehow.

That wasn't what he was looking at, though. Instead, he was looking at a picture of five individuals. One was Link himself, wearing a blue tunic that seemed significant somehow.

The four individuals were of interest to Link. Three of them were obviously not human. One was a tall bird-like man with a beak and feathers, one was a shorter woman with warm eyes with fish fins, one was a massive brown-skinned being with an equally large grin, and the only human-looking one was a tall woman with vibrant red hair and a dangerous-looking air about her.

Sylvain looked over his shoulder and whistled. "Who's the tall, dark, and dreamy lady in that picture?"

Link frowned at him, but then returned his attention to the picture. "I knew these people. They were my friends. Revali, Mipha, Daruk, and Urbosa. I remember their names, but..."

"A bird person, a fish person, a rock person, and quite possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on," Sylvain commented. "You know what? Why not? We've met a dancing tree person already. The first three seem about right for Hyrule."

Link turned to the next image in the gallery. The image showed a beautiful woman dressed in a flowing white dress. She was standing before a large pool of water with rock walls around her. Her golden hair parted around her round face, falling down past her shoulders to her back. Her green eyes shone with an expression that seemed sad, even though she was smiling in the photograph.

Link's heart clenched, and he quickly closed the gallery rune. A lump had formed in his throat and would not go away. He did not know why the sorrow he felt all of a sudden came upon him so powerfully at that moment, but he found himself unable to speak. He could not get the sight of the woman's sad eyes out of his mind.

Zelda.

He tried to remember. He wanted with all of his heart to remember Zelda. But no memories came back to him.

His heart ached. He knew instinctively that this woman had meant the world to him once.

So why couldn't he remember the time he spent with her?

Link turned off the Sheikah Slate. "Let's get going."
