===Map===
Line 40: Line 42:
The Sheikah Slate also contains a [[map]] of Hyrule. Initially, the map is blank of everything except the outlines of tower regions. Link must visit the [[Sheikah Tower]]s scattered around Hyrule, activating them and receiving that section of the map. Once he has distilled the map into his Slate, Link can view the features of that area.

Regions, subregions, and most landmarks are added onto the map automatically. However, some landmarks must be visited before they are added to the map. Additionally, Sheikah Towers and shrines must be activated before they will appear on the map. Once they have been activated, Link may then use the Sheikah Slate to travel to that tower or shrine. Settlements, villages, and [[Stable]]s must also be visited before their locations will be added to the map. Once Link has registered a [[Horse]] at a stable, he may also use the map to track the location of any horse he is traveling with. Additionally, the locations of any discovered [[Korok]]s are marked on the map for reference.

Link also has the ability to set stamps and pins on the map. Stamps are markers visible only when looking at the map. There are nine different designs to choose from, and they can be used to indicate the location of enemies, weapons, cook pots, potential Korok locations, or anything else of note to be remembered. Up to 100 stamps may be placed on the map. Pins function similarly to stamps, but are also visible to Link when he views the landscape through the slate's scope. Pins are ideal for marking travel destinations as they help provide directional guidance for Link without use of the map. Unlike stamps, only five pins are available to use.
Albeit the map initially shows the regional limits between the Sheikah Tower regions when it's blank, these limits disappear once the regions are populated into the map's data. Link also has the ability to set stamps and pins on the map. Stamps are markers visible only when looking at the map, and don't generate a beacon to follow like pins do.

Pins are ideal for marking travel destinations as they help provide directional guidance for Link without use of the map. Unlike stamps, only five pins are available to use. Pins disappear if removed, also being automatically removed when Link walks over them, as the Sheikah Slate assumes that Link has arrived to said destination.


With the [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|Expansion Pass]], [[Hero's Path Mode]] was added to the map. Turning on this mode shows the path of Link's past travels.

Once Link has defeated [[Dark Beast Ganon]], the map will henceforth display a percentage in the bottom left hand corner. This represents map progress, tracking named locations visited, including ancient Sheikah structures, Korok Seeds collected and Divine Beasts liberated.

===Scope===
===Scope===


The scope on the Sheikah Slate allows Link to view long distances. If Link has any pins on the map and they are not obscured by the landscape, Link will be able to see their glow through the scope, providing direction to the pinned location. If Link sees something through the scope worth investigating, he may set a pin with the scope instead of having to return to the map.

===Removed Functions===
{{main|Sheikah Slate Health Sensor}}
 
The '''Sheikah Slate Health Sensor''' was a function of the Sheikah Slate that did not make it to the final form of the game. It served to display the health bar of enemies in a similar manner as the [[Champion's Tunic]].
 
First shown in E3 2016, the Health Sensor required the use of the Scope function to point at enemies while a timer eventually displayed their health bar.
