This reasoning was lost on some of the more headstrong Rito warriors, which resulted in Harth being injured after confronting Divine Beast Vah Medoh with Teba.
Only Champions are capable of stopping a Divine Beast, and so he must rely on Link to calm it. Since Link is supposedly descended from a Champion, Kaneli asks him to help handle Divine Beast Vah Medoh. Kaneli thanks Link for choosing to listen to him. As a result, he asks Link to hear his request. However, remembering that it has been one hundred years, Kaneli reasons that Link must instead be a descendant who has inherited the Sheikah Slate. If Link confirms that it is the Sheikah Slate, Kaneli realizes that he must be a Champion, and therefore capable of boarding Divine Beast Vah Medoh. He introduces himself and asks Link if the item he has is truly a Sheikah Slate. Kaneli starts to welcome Link to the village, but he quickly takes notice of the Sheikah Slate he carries. At the top of the Village, he will find Kaneli's House, where the elder resides. When Link first enters Rito Village, he is greeted by the sight of Divine Beast Vah Medoh flying up above.
