Here’s a Brief Look at Rune Abilities in Breath of the Wild

Rune abilities are a brand new concept in Breath of the Wild that are gathered from various shrines and applied to Link through the Sheikah Slate. To date, we know about four of these abilities, all of which are attainable on the Great Plateau (the starting area of the game). Nintendo of Europe provided us a clip showing off those abilities in the order of Cryonis, Magnesis, Bombs, and Stasis. These abilities allow fun and creative ways to solve puzzles and traverse the world, though they may have bigger implications further into the game.

I hope you enjoy a brief look at them in action. You can catch the original footage right here on twitter.
