In Breath of the Wild, Cherry is the name given by Robbie to a robot that was created from a Guidance Stone.[1]
Breath of the Wild
As a result of a fight with his wife, Robbie officially refers to it as the "ancient oven".
The namesake of Cherry is a young Sheikah girl of similar name with whom Robbie grew affectionate for 100 years ago. At the time she was about 10,[2] but Robbie himself was no older than 20; this age gap isn't as large as in his marriage. It is found within the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab in northeastern province of Akkala. When Link lights the furnace adjacent to the lab with a Blue Flame, Cherry is reactivated and is capable of producing a variety of ancient soldier gear for Link when provided with the necessary ancient materials — and at Robbie's insistence, a donation for the lab's research.[3] Robbie will reward Link with three Ancient Arrows for reactivating Cherry.
As the weapons are standardized copies, they carry no inherent defensive, attack, durability or reach bonuses. However, they synergise with the attack bonuses from the Ancient Set.

Cherry does not appear in Tears of the Kingdom, but a smaller device known as the Compendium Database exactly resembles a smaller version of it. Unlike Cherry, this device doesn't speak, except to clarify "Added to Hyrule Compendium" upon the purchase of a picture.
