Biography[]

Tena Ko'sah is a Sheikah Monk who serves the Goddess The Goddess Hylia. Following the first Great Calamity and the ostracism of the Sheikah 10,000 years prior to Breath of the Wild, Tena Ko'sah became a Monk and constructed an Ancient Shrine to help prepare Link against the threat of Calamity Ganon.[3][1]

Following Link's Slumber of Restoration in the Shrine of Resurrection, the Tena Ko'sah Shrine is activated and can then be entered by someone bearing a Sheikah Slate.[4] When Link enters the Shrine, he is greeted by the Monk and is offered the Shrine's Trial in the name of The Goddess Hylia.[2] If Link completes the Trial, Tena Ko'sah praises him and rewards the Hylian Champion with a Spirit Orb.[5] With their role fulfilled, Tena Ko'sah wishes Link well as their body fades away.[6]
