Divine Powers

Divine Powers

As you progress through your quest to defeat Calamity Ganon, you will liberate the four Divine Beasts from his control. Upon successfully completing each Divine Beast dungeon and defeating the Blight Ganon within, you will be granted a powerful ability, a "Divine Power," from the spirit of the Champion associated with that beast. These abilities are invaluable in combat, exploration, and survival across Hyrule.

Activating and Managing Divine Powers

Divine Powers are activated by holding down the B button and then selecting the desired power from the radial menu that appears. Each power has a cooldown period after use, indicated by a glowing icon on your HUD. The cooldown duration varies for each ability. You can also disable individual Divine Powers from the system menu if you prefer not to use them, which can be useful for certain challenges or to avoid accidental activation.

Urbosa's Fury

Source: Vah Naboris (Gerudo Desert)

Effect: Unleashes a powerful electrical discharge around Link, stunning and damaging all nearby enemies. This ability is incredibly effective against groups of enemies, especially those vulnerable to electricity, such as most metallic enemies and those standing in water.

• Acquisition: Defeat Thunderblight Ganon within Vah Naboris.
• Strategy:
  • Use it to clear out swarms of Bokoblins or Moblins.
  • Excellent for interrupting enemy attacks or creating openings for follow-up strikes.
  • Particularly devastating against Guardians if they are close enough to be caught in the blast.
  • Has three charges before requiring a cooldown. Each charge takes 12 minutes to replenish.

Daruk's Protection

Source: Vah Rudania (Death Mountain)

Effect: Creates a protective barrier around Link that automatically blocks incoming attacks. This shield can withstand a significant amount of damage before breaking, making Link temporarily invulnerable.

• Acquisition: Defeat Fireblight Ganon within Vah Rudania.
• Strategy:
  • Invaluable for deflecting powerful enemy blows, such as those from Lynels or Guardians.
  • Can be used to safely approach enemies with ranged attacks.
  • Each block consumes one of its three charges. Each charge takes 18 minutes to replenish.
  • While active, Link cannot attack, so time its use strategically.

Revali's Gale

Source: Vah Medoh (Rito Village)

Effect: Generates a powerful updraft that launches Link high into the air, allowing him to deploy his Paraglider and cover vast distances or gain a tactical height advantage.

• Acquisition: Defeat Windblight Ganon within Vah Medoh.
• Strategy:
  • Essential for reaching high ledges, mountain peaks, or otherwise inaccessible areas.
  • Provides an excellent vantage point for surveying the landscape or initiating a dive attack on enemies.
  • Can be used in combat to escape dangerous situations or to set up aerial attacks with your bow.
  • Has three charges before requiring a cooldown. Each charge takes 6 minutes to replenish.

Mipha's Grace

Source: Vah Ruta (Zora's Domain)

Effect: Automatically revives Link to full health upon defeat, granting him five temporary bonus hearts. This acts as a "second chance" in challenging encounters.

• Acquisition: Defeat Waterblight Ganon within Vah Ruta.
• Strategy:
  • This power activates automatically when Link's health reaches zero, so no manual input is required.
  • It's a life-saver during boss battles or when facing multiple powerful enemies.
  • Has only one charge, but it fully replenishes after 24 minutes.
  • Consider this your ultimate safety net, allowing for more aggressive playstyles.
