Player/Champion abilities
In Breath of the Wild, champion abilities are the four key items and abilities granted to Link after completing Divine Beasts.
Names
The key items are referred to as "HeroSoul" and the abilities as "{Wind|Fire|Electric|Water}Support"[1].
| Ability | Key item name | Key item name (Plus version) | Spawned actor when activating ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revali's Gale | Obj_HeroSoul_Rito | Obj_DLC_HeroSoul_Rito | Dm_Npc_Rito_HeroSoul_Kago |

Cooldown timers
Cooldown durations for the abilities are configured in Link's bgparamlist > Player section, using the following keys: WindSupportReuseTime, WaterSupportReuseTime, FireSupportReuseTime, ElectricSupportReuseTime
Cooldown timer rates (the value which is subtracted to the timer every real-life second) are also configured in the same GeneralParamList, with the following extra considerations:
- The timer rate is hardcoded to be 1.0 in Player code[2] if the player is not in Hyrule Castle[3]. Otherwise, the GeneralParamList value is used.
- [1.4.0+] The timer rate is hardcoded to be 3.0 in Player code if the player has the DLC-only "+" variant of an ability[4], and 9.0 if the player is in Hyrule Castle and has the "+" variant.
