The '''Akkala Ancient Tech Lab''' is one of two [[Sheikah]] research labs found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. It has become a [[Yiga Clan]] base in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]''.


The '''Akkala Ancient Tech Lab''' is a location found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. Inside the player can find a robot, who can sell [[Link]] ancient tech, such as the [[Ancient Arrows]] or pieces of the Ancient Armor. Link will not be able to purchase any of this gear until the Ancient Furnace is lit with blue flame, however.
==''Breath of the Wild''==
{{quote|[[Robbie]], the foremost researcher of the [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardian]]s, lives here with [[Jerrin]], his wife and assistant. Robbie has transformed part of a [[Guidance Stone]] into an [[Cherry|Ancient Oven]], which can produce Ancient Soldier Gear.|[[Creating a Champion]], page 285}}
The lab is located at the northeast corner of the map, just up the road from the [[East Akkala Stable]]. The lab and its chief researcher, [[Robbie]], are devoted to the research of [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] and the destruction of the Calamity.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|The goal of our Sheikah research lab is simple, really. We aim to destroy the Calamity that has endured across time... to rid Hyrule of its dark influence... and above all...to rescue Princess Zelda, who is now a prisoner of the Calamity.|Robbie}} The lab's inhabitants include Robbie, director of the lab, his wife [[Jerrin]], and [[Cherry]], a robot who can sell [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] ancient soldier gear such as the [[Ancient Arrow]]s or pieces of the [[Ancient Set]] of [[Breath of the Wild Armor|armor]]. However, Link will not be able to purchase any of this gear until the nearby [[Ancient Furnace|Furnace]] is lit with the [[Blue Flame]] found on the top of [[Tumlea Heights]].

===Robbie's Research===
{{main|Robbie's Research}}
As part of the [[Robbie's Research]] quest, Robbie will task Link with bringing a blue flame over to the furnace, to power the tech lab. The flame can be found to the west at Tumlea Heights, where there is an [[Ancient Furnace]]. Link can use the [[Torch (Breath of the Wild)|Torch]] that is found within the tech lab to carry the flame. However, the area is littered with [[Blue Moblin]]s, making it a rather dangerous trip to carry the flame. It is recommended that Link first defeat all the enemies before trying to carry the flame over.

Reactivation of the furnace will provide a [[Travel Gate|travel gate]] at the front of the lab.


Climb to the top of the lab to find the swirling leaves to examine.
===The Skull's Eye===
{{main|The Skull's Eye}}
After completing Robbie's Research, Link can speak with his wife Jerrin, who is researching [[Ancient Shrine|Shrines]]. She will talk about a shrine that is in the center of the [[Skull Lake]], out to the west. While the shrine is easily visible, it is in a location that is hard for Link to reach. This will begin [[The Skull's Eye]] shrine quest. Link is able to reach the shrine by using the [[Paraglider]] from the [[Akkala Wilds]] to the north. He'll need to grab onto the pillar and climb the rest of the way up, but it is fairly easy to do. Here Link will find the [[Zuna Kai Shrine]], which will complete the shrine quest.

===Trivia===
*It's implied that the lab may have been a repurposed astronomy observatory due to the presence of its large telescope. The fact that there's a resting spot on top of it further implies that the telescope is not actively being used by Robbie, or is not in usable condition at all for that matter.
*It's necessary for Link to have talked to both [[Impa]] and [[Purah]] beforehand in order to contact Robbie at the Lab. Otherwise, he won't be present, and in turn, the lab's furnace cannot be lit.
 
==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
While [[Robbie]] still regards the Akkala lab as his home, he and [[Jerrin]] have moved to [[Hateno Ancient Tech Lab]] and [[Lookout Landing]], and the lab is occupied by the [[Yiga Clan]]. [[Link (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Link]] must defeat the [[Yiga Blademaster]] and [[Yiga Footsoldier]] there to gain access to retrieve Robbie's [[Travel Medallion Prototype]]. Once he enters, he will also find the kidnapped [[Konba]], who the Yiga were forcing to make [[Yiga Armor]] for them. Once freed, he will give the armor he was making to Link and skedaddle. Link can use this as part of the [[Infilitrating the Yiga Clan]] quest, along with the map on the wall giving the general location of other Yiga Clan [[surface]] bases in the [[Yiga Clan Hideout]], [[Yiga Clan Maritta Branch|Maritta Branch]] and [[Woodcutter's House]].
 
There is an [[Ascend]] platform directly under the Tech Lab in the [[Depths]], and rising up through the floor of the Lab before visiting from the surface or getting the quest will startle the Yiga warriors inside. They will accuse Link of trying to sneak past them and will challenge him to fight them outside. After having defeated them, Link can then go inside and rescue Konba to obtain the armor.
