This article is about the Runes from Breath of the Wild. For the manga character, see Rune (Mishouzaki).

Runes,(BotW | HWAoC)[1][name reference needed] also known as Sheikah Runes,(HWAoC)[2] are recurring abilities added to the Sheikah Slate in The Legend of Zelda series.

Location and Uses[]

Breath of the Wild[]

Runes are special objects controlled by the Sheikah Slate that can affect the world around Link. Runes are primarily obtained from the Ancient Shrines scattered across Hyrule Kingdom. To obtain a Rune, Link must insert the Sheikah Slate into a pedestal to extract them.[1] Upon extraction, Link can access that Rune's abilities by pressing the L Button and selecting the Rune.
