#if nintendo werent too cowardly to make a proper sequel

[riddle-of-sphinx]

Been thinking of how sad it is that the things that were so important in BotW (sheikah tech, divine beasts) were less than an afterthought in totk, so here's an idea of what the divine beasts at least could have been in totk, if they were around.

Vah Ruta: since the zora have great respect for Mipha and all that was associated with her, I can imagine Vah Ruta being turned into some sort of mobile hospital, one that can use the waterways to go to its patients, perhaps even experimenting with recreating the tech for the shrine of resurrection or something similar. Its endless source of clean water would do well in a hospital setting, for cleaning wounds an such. In game, a quest could be bringing water from the wellsprings in the depths to make the hospital better. (these assuming the beasts would be repurposed in a way that would make them less weapon-y)

Vah Rundania: hyper mobile mining rig. Capable of climbing into the caldera of death mountain itself, the gorons would get a lot of mileage out of the beeg lizarb. A lot of new minerals could potentially be obtained using Vah Rudania. In game, a quest could be going with the gorons on a mining run, if there were monsters that needed destroying.

Vah Medoh: Merchant or Charter plane, to transport items or people long distances, or bring people up to the sky islands for research purposes. In game, a quest could be helping repair it, and either it being something you could hitch a ride on to get to some harder to reach places, or helping the Zonai research crew get in touch with the Rito for a partnership investigating the skylands.

Vah Naboris: Power plant baby. If anyone deserves to discover air conditioning and indoor plumbing first, it's the Gerudo. Using Naboris as their source of electricity, making electric lights, motors, AC, etc. would be a cool and interesting way of repurposing Naboris. A lot of electricity ultrahand puzzles could have come out of this.

Bonus: Shrine of resurrection dlc dungeon (forgot what its called lol). Make that the new sheikah lab, where you can assist with integrating zonai and sheikah tech.
