Fighting <strong>Vah Ruta<\/strong> first sets the player up for success and provides a solid foundation for tackling the other <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Divine_Beasts\"><\/span>Understanding the Divine Beasts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> are central to the game&#8217;s storyline, and each one has its unique characteristics, challenges, and rewards. To help players navigate this aspect of the game, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_Order_Should_I_Defeat_the_Divine_Beasts\"><\/span>1. What Order Should I Defeat the Divine Beasts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For the sake of simplicity, we recommend defeating the <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> in the following order: <strong>Vah Ruta<\/strong>, <strong>Vah Rudania<\/strong>, <strong>Vah Medoh<\/strong>, and finally <strong>Vah Naboris<\/strong>. This order provides a relatively gentle learning curve and allows players to acquire new skills and abilities in a logical progression.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Should_I_Do_Vah_Medoh_or_Vah_Ruta_First\"><\/span>2. Should I Do Vah Medoh or Vah Ruta First?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Vah Ruta<\/strong> is the recommended first <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong> due to its proximity to the starting area and the usefulness of <strong>Mipha&#8217;s Grace<\/strong> in the early stages of the game. While <strong>Vah Medoh<\/strong> is considered the easiest <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong>, starting with <strong>Vah Ruta<\/strong> sets the player up for a more balanced progression.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Which_Divine_Beast_is_Hardest_to_Get_to\"><\/span>3. Which Divine Beast is Hardest to Get to?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Vah Naboris<\/strong> is generally considered the hardest <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong> to reach, due to its location in the <strong>Gerudo Desert<\/strong> and the need for the <strong>Desert Voe<\/strong> outfit to mitigate the heat. Players should be prepared for a challenge when attempting to reach <strong>Vah Naboris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_When_Should_I_Start_Fighting_Divine_Beasts\"><\/span>4. When Should I Start Fighting Divine Beasts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Players can start fighting <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> at any time, as the game is designed to provide freedom and flexibility. However, it is recommended to wait until the player has acquired some basic skills and abilities to make the experience more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Where_Are_the_Champions_Bodies\"><\/span>5. Where Are the Champions&#8217; Bodies?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The champions&#8217; bodies are located within their respective <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong>, and freeing them is a crucial part of the game&#8217;s storyline. Players will need to defeat the <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> and calm the champions to progress through the game.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Which_of_the_4_Divine_Beasts_is_Easiest\"><\/span>6. Which of the 4 Divine Beasts is Easiest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Vah Medoh<\/strong> is generally considered the easiest <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong>, and the <strong>Champion Ability<\/strong> acquired after completing it is extremely useful. Players who start with <strong>Vah Medoh<\/strong> will find the experience relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Do_the_Divine_Beasts_Help_You_Fight_Ganon\"><\/span>7. Do the Divine Beasts Help You Fight Ganon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Completing all four <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> before facing <strong>Calamity Ganon<\/strong> will give the player a significant advantage, as <strong>Ganon<\/strong> will start the battle at half health. This makes the final fight more manageable and provides a sense of accomplishment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_What_is_the_Most_Annoying_Divine_Beast\"><\/span>8. What is the Most Annoying Divine Beast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Vah Rudania<\/strong> is often considered the most annoying <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong>, due to its complex puzzles and challenging enemies. Players should be prepared for a frustrating experience when attempting to complete <strong>Vah Rudania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Is_Thunderblight_Ganon_Harder_Than_Calamity_Ganon\"><\/span>9. Is Thunderblight Ganon Harder Than Calamity Ganon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Thunderblight Ganon<\/strong> is considered one of the toughest <strong>Blight Ganons<\/strong>, due to its ability to electrocute <strong>Link<\/strong> and stun-lock him. Players should be prepared for a challenging fight when facing <strong>Thunderblight Ganon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_What_is_the_5th_Divine_Beast\"><\/span>10. What is the 5th Divine Beast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is no official <strong>5th Divine Beast<\/strong> in the game, but some theories suggest that the <strong>Moon<\/strong> could be considered a <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong> due to its significance in the game&#8217;s storyline. However, this is purely speculative and not confirmed by the game&#8217;s developers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_What_is_the_2nd_Hardest_Divine_Beast\"><\/span>11. What is the 2nd Hardest Divine Beast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Vah Rudania<\/strong> is often considered the 2nd hardest <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong>, due to its complex puzzles and challenging enemies. Players should be prepared for a frustrating experience when attempting to complete <strong>Vah Rudania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_What_Happens_if_You_Go_to_the_Divine_Beasts_Before_Impa\"><\/span>12. What Happens if You Go to the Divine Beasts Before Impa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If the player visits the <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> before speaking with <strong>Impa<\/strong>, <strong>Princess Zelda<\/strong> will use her telepathic abilities to inform <strong>Link<\/strong> about the <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> and their connection to <strong>Ganon<\/strong>. This provides an alternative way for players to learn about the game&#8217;s storyline.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Is_Windblight_Ganon_Easy\"><\/span>13. Is Windblight Ganon Easy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Windblight Ganon<\/strong> is considered one of the easiest <strong>Blight Ganons<\/strong>, as it can be defeated by simply shooting arrows at it. Players should find this fight relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Does_the_Divine_Beast_Order_Matter\"><\/span>14. Does the Divine Beast Order Matter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The order in which the player completes the <strong>Divine Beasts<\/strong> does matter, as each <strong>Divine Beast<\/strong> provides a unique <strong>power-up<\/strong> and <strong>Champion Ability<\/strong>. Additionally, completing <strong>Vah Naboris<\/strong> will trigger a permanent change in the game.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Do_You_Need_All_4_Divine_Beasts\"><\/span>15.
