Runes are magical tools that Link can use via his Sheikah Slate to perform a variety of tasks both in Shrines and Dungeons, as well as out in the wild. The use of runes can help Link reach places that were otherwise inaccessible.

The Cryonis rune allows link to create ice pillars from water. The pillars form stable platforms that can be used as obstacles or to reach high places, and can even lift up gates over water or block the view from enemies.

The Magnesis rune turns the Sheikah Slate into a magnetic beam capable of latching on to nearby metal creations. These can then be manipulated by raising, lowering, throwing, dragging, or dropping it wherever Link wants.

The Magnesis rune can be used in a variety of ways, from grabbing hard to reach metal chests, to dropping metal beams onto enemies, and even dropping metal containers from up high to crack them open for the treasure within.
