'''EX The Champions' Ballad''' is a Main Quest from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', which requires the [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass]] DLC to access. It will trigger after [[Free the Divine Beasts]] is completed if the DLC has been purchased before completion, or immediately upon purchase if the quest is already done.

==Requirements==
* Purchase of the DLC
* Completion of all the Divine Beast Quests entailing:
** Accessing and completing the [[Divine Beast]]s dungeons;
** Defeating the Blights;
** Activating the [[Divine Beast]]s;
** Completion of the quests by talking to the quest givers [[Riju]], [[King Dorephan]], [[Kaneli]] and [[Bludo]].

==Objectives==
===One-Hit Obliterator trial===
[[Zelda]]'s voice speaks to [[Link]] and tells him to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] and return the [[Sheikah Slate]] to the terminal where he found it. On doing so, the [[One-Hit Obliterator]] appears. This weapon will kill any enemy in one hit, but will also cause Link himself to die with any injury, however minor. The weapon can deliver two hits before it needs a recharge, and no other melee weapon can be equipped. The environment in the plateau also assumes an appearance of permanent night regardless of the hour, reducing visibility. In these conditions, he must unlock and complete four new shrines, each rewarding Link with a [[Spirit Orb]], on the [[Great Plateau]]:

Leaving the Great Plateau will temporarily end the trial, and return the One-Hit Obliterator to the Shrine of Resurrection.

Once completed, the One-Hit Obliterator will apparently break apart, and orbs will go to four places; the temporary state of permanent night is lifted as well. As a result, four new quests will appear, with four spots highlighted on the [[Sheikah Slate]] [[map]]. All four of these quests must be completed to progress in the EX The Champions' Ballad quest.

===EX Champion Revali's Song===
