The '''Stasis''' Rune is acquired in [[Shrine Owa Daim]]. This Rune allows Link to temporarily stop the motion of moving objects by freezing them in time. Additionally, while objects are in a condition of Stasis, they are able to absorb any kinetic energy that is applied to them. When their Stasis expires, the object resumes it motion, but with the added kinetic energy that it had absorbed. As a result, Link can make use of the Stasis Rune to drive large objects over vast distances.<ref>{{Cite|Stasis<br>Stop the flow of time for an object.<br>Objects stopped in time will store kinetic energy.

The pillars of ice can be used as stepping stones to faraway areas, barriers to shield Link from enemies, or as wedges to lift gates and platforms. Link is also able to climb the exterior walls of the pillars of ice. Existing pillars of ice can be broken with a repeated use of the Cryonis Rune.<ref>{{Cite|Cryonis<br>Create a pillar of ice from a water surface.<br>Builds pillars of ice that are very stable.
