The Sheikah Slate is a versatile tool in Breath of the Wild, providing all sorts of benefits: from taking photos to providing a map, casting spells to teleporting across Hyrule, it’s almost too good to be true!

It’s a common trope among fantasy adventures, and among video games, for equipment to be enchanted with specific skills and effects – such as a sword that shoots fireballs, or has a healing scabbard.

The Hookshot and its variants have been a recurring part in the Zelda franchise since A Link to the Past. The Core Rulebook includes the Hookshot as a Magical Tool, allowing GMs to award it to Heroes as a dungeon’s special treasure or the like.

As an alternative, we present the Hookshot as a Personalized Tool.
