FULL STORY
======================================================================

One of the biggest mysteries in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has 
been (sort of) solved, as director Hidemaro Fujibayashi has offered an 
explanation as to why theres no Sheikah technology in the Nintendo Switch 
title, despite the prevalence of it in its predecessor, Breath of the Wild . 

In Breath of the Wild , the world of Hyrule is full of Sheikah tech, said to 
have been created thousands of years before the events of the game. From the 
towers in every region, the terrifying Guardians, enormous Divine Beasts, and 
Links fancy iPad, the Sheikah Slate, theres an abundance. Meanwhile, despite 
Tears of the Kingdom taking place only a few years after the events of its 
predecessor, all of this stuff is missing, with no in-game reasoning offered 
as to why. 

In a new interview with The Telegraph , Fujibayashi has acknowledged this 
enigma: They disappeared after the Calamity was defeated (sealed), 
Fujibayashi said, referring to the ending of Breath of the Wild . All of the 
people of Hyrule also witnessed this, but there is no one who knows the 
mechanism or reason why they disappeared, and it is considered a mystery. It 
is believed that since the Calamity disappeared, they also disappeared as 
their role had been fulfilled. 

He continued, noting that Hyrule is no stranger to mysterious events and 
strange phenomena. Therefore, he suggests, it makes sense that theres no one 
who has tried to explore the matter further in the game. Youd still think 
that Link might want to know where all of his Sheikah Slate selfies went, 
though. 

 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild are 
considered to be two of the best Nintendo Switch games . If youre looking for
