  • EX The Champions' Ballad - Starting with a trial on the Great Plateau focusing on the One-Hit Obliterator, Link has to take out groups of enemies with this weapon, which reveals four new Shrines, each with unique puzzles. After this is completed, the One-Hit Obliterator will return to its resting place in the Shrine of Resurrection, and four Stone Monuments will rise in various provinces.

After completion, a new Memory is unlocked, focusing on a specific Champion. Once all four Memories are obtained, Link can return to the Shrine of Resurrection once again, and can take on the Final Trial Divine Beast, which has four unique puzzles. After the dungeon is complete, Link can challenge Monk Maz Koshia in one final boss fight. The reward for completing this Trial is the Master Cycle Zero, a Sheikah-designed motorcycle which travels at a similar speed to a horse.
