When Link first arrives at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, Symin is astonished that Link has a [[Sheikah Slate]].{{Ref|''Good morning. I imagine you've never seen so many books in one place. Pretty incredible, isn't it? We've gathered all of Hyrule's known literature on ancient civilizations here. As for the actual number of books, well... ...Hmm? Is that... That thing on your waist? Is that a Sheikah... There's no mistaking it. That's a real Sheikah Slate, isn't it?! I've never actually seen one in person! If you could just show me the runes on it, I'd be most appreciative.'' - '''Symin'''}} However, he quickly realizes that despite having [[Stasis]], [[Magnesis]], [[Remote Bomb (Rune)|Remote Bomb]]s, and [[Cryonis]], some of the [[Runes]] are missing.{{Ref|''Stasis... Ah. Magnesis... Yes, yes. The Remote Bomb and Cryonis... And what else? Let's see... So that's it for runes... But... Hmmm... Strange... It doesn't seem like you have the basic runes... I don't understand why they're missing. There must be some reason...'' - '''Symin'''}}

Despite spending all day and night standing near the bookshelves within the tech lab, Symin does have his own bedroom, about halfway up the spiral staircase, above the tech lab. Here there is a bed, some shelving, and other normal goods that are found within bedrooms. Despite this, Symin is never seen within his bedroom.

As part of the [[Slated for Upgrades]] side quest, Link is able to give [[Purah]] three [[Ancient Screw]]s. This will cause Purah to upgrade the Sheikah Sensor to the Sheikah Sensor +. Symin is greatly interested in this upgrades and really wants to see the upgraded Sheikah Slate.{{Ref|''Oooh! The Sheikah Sensor +! I reaaally want to see it...'' - '''Symin'''}}{{Ref|''Yes, quite. So if you don't mind, how about showing Symin that spiffy Sheikah Sensor + later?'' - '''[[Purah]]'''}}

After returning to Symin with the Sunshrooms, Link can give them to him and in return, Symin will reward Link with three [[Hearty Truffle]]s.{{Ref|''Good evening. I see you've brought the sunshrooms. OK, now please hand over those three sunshrooms.'' - '''Symin'''}}{{Ref|''Thank you. Here you go.'' - '''Symin'''}}

{{main|Hyrule Compendium}}

After completing the Sunshroom Sensing sidequest, speak with Symin again and he'll talk about another feature of the Sheikah Slate. There are still some pictures that are stored within the [[Guidance Stone]] and Link can use the Guidance Stone to add those pictures to the Hyrule Compendium.{{Ref|''Ah... Link... I've got some news that should be music to your ears! I've found a way to help you search for new objects using the Sheikah Sensor +! ... Please feel free to show your excitement. Anyway... As I was conducting my research, I found that there were still some pictures of the past left on the Guidance Stone! If you add those pictures to your Hyrule Compendium, you can search for their subjects with the Sheikah Sensor +.'' - '''Symin'''}} Link can then use the Sheikah Sensor + to search for the item that was in the picture that came from the Guidance Stone. This will in turn ease any trouble Link might have in finding specific items.{{Ref|''Hard? No, no, not at all... The Sheikah Sensor has been powered up to the Sheikah Sensor +. It can now access a picture registered in your Hyrule Compendium, allowing you to search for the subject of the picture. I trust you now see the benefit of adding pictures to your Hyrule Compendium. It makes it much easier to search for items you need, reducing one more burden you face in your travels.'' - '''Symin'''}}{{Ref|''Now then, go ahead and place your Sheikah Slate on the Guidance Stone.'' - '''Symin'''}}

Link can then speak with Symin and purchase pictures at the cost of 100 rupees a picture. They are divided into categories, as they appear on the Hyrule Compendium, with sections for Fauna, Enemy, Material, Weapon, and Other pictures. Later in the game, when [[Dark Beast Ganon]] is defeated, extra pictures for 11 Elite Enemies (15 in [[Master Mode]]) can be purchased for 500 rupees a piece. Elite enemies include Silver (4) and Golden (+4 in Master Mode) enemies, [[Master Kohga]] (1), the Blights (4), [[Calamity Ganon]] and [[Dark Beast Ganon]]. Master Mode also includes an extra non-elite enemy [[Sky Octorok]], and the [[EX The Champions' Ballad]] includes another 3 in the form of [[Monk Maz Koshia]], the [[Igneo Talus Titan]] and the [[Molduking]].

===Trivia===

*Second only to [[Granté]], Symin's selling of pictures for the Hyrule Compendium are among the most expensive commodities available in the whole game. However, the price varies depending on how many pictures one adds to the Compendium. However, even though Granté's items are the most expensive per unit, Symin's total stock is more expensive.
