* Welcome to the Purah Pad *
The Purah Pad is a state-of-the-art, fully portable adventure-class Sheikah Slate. The Purah Pad can be used to:
- View far-away objects using the Scope
- Take photographic images
- View maps and current location (requires Sky View data)
- Teleport instantaneously to travel gates registered to the Purah Pad
- Record materials, creatures, monsters, and other objects found in Hyrule
- Log activities and requests received from fellow travelers
- Take additional field notes, as required
The Purah Pad is currently in development. We are not accepting feedback at this time.
Please direct any complaints to Symin at Hateno Village Research Laboratory.
Log date 09:55. 5th month 12th day 104AC
Location: Great Sky Island
Weather: Mild. Clear skies.
Arm hurts, really hurts. In a bad way. Master Sword is damaged, or worse. What the hell happened down there?
It's bright here, gotta be high up in the sky. Were there always islands here?
A green construct-type person (like Guardians but with a face?) had this Purah Pad. Looks in OK condition. Zelda would know more. No sign of her. Apparently she's nearby, in a temple.
Not sure how many logs to make. Normally Zelda’s thing. I’m used to her being here. Used to the sound of her voice. Will just take notes until she’s back. Not sure how, but will find her.
Have to find her.
Log is accompanied by a picture of a Zonai Steward Construct. Its large, see-saw head is angled slightly to the side, as if perplexed.
Caption: He seems friendly.
Log date 12:30. 5th month, 13th day 104 AC
Location: Ukouh Shrine
Weather: Mild. Partly cloudy.
A lot has happened. Arm still hurts, whole body hurts. Rauru (source of arm) has been helpful. Not sure if he's trustworthy but no choice. Have to find Zelda, no matter what.
There are Shrines here on this sky island - deja vu. Seem older than the Sheikah Shrines though.
This arm and its powers are something else. Made a raft with fans. Put them on the wrong way, fell off the raft. Tried again a few times until it worked. Repeat.
Two more Shrines left, maybe next time Rauru will give me the power to summon a hot meal. Click of the fingers and snap: fried eggs. But probably not.

Log date: 16:30. 5th month, 13th day 104 AC
Location: In-Isa shrine
Weather: Mild. Partly cloudy.
Stopping to catch my breath. Going to sit by this Shrine a while.
Got this Fuse ability. Feels good to have a sword even if it's made from a tree branch and bits of dead robot.
Sword arm is not what it used to be. Reflexes slower too. Can feel the gloom under my skin. Fought a Captain Construct, got hit one too many times. Some bad bad bruises but the Light of Blessing healed them up quick. Mostly pride hurt now.
Back to the Temple of Time tomorrow. Zelda’s not far, can feel it.

Log date: 20:55 5th month, 14th day 104 AC
Location: Temple of Time
Weather: Cool. Clear skies.
It doesn't make sense. She was here, and then she wasn't. In the Temple of Time. Or her spirit? A memory? An echo? That's what Rauru called it. Said it was Zelda's sheer will, but how can he know? He won't even say who he is.
She looked so different. She looked.. divine. And then she gave me something. I can feel the name of it on the wind - Recall
She’s gone. But where? What happened to her?
Gonna leave this place tomorrow, just need to find that last Shrine. The fire's burning low but the nights here are short. There's something up above, the Purah Pad compendium calls it a Light Dragon. Currently watching it swim circles in the air til sleep comes, and then will see what tomorrow brings.
Zelda’s out there somewhere. Gotta find her, and put everything right. Don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t. Hope wherever she is, it’s warmer than here.
