Link gazes upon his shiekah slate.

An Inside Look at Link's Daunting Search History in BotW

Thanks to the cutting edge technology of the iShiekah 12 Pro, Link has a ton of information available to him in Breath of the Wild. Perhaps a little too much convenience for our Hylian hero to handle!

Hyrule can face an agonizing hundred more years under the Calamity Ganon if Link doesn’t put himself on a screen time diet. But more importantly, isn’t anyone curious as to what Link’s search history might look like?

I know I am.

Since there isn’t anything canon to base this curiosity off of, I’m just going to wing it. If I had to guess, this is what Link’s browsing history looks like in BotW:
