King Rhoam: Difference between revisions

A century ago, King Rhoam, aided by the four Champions and the [[Divine Beast]]s, attempted to stop [[Ganon#Breath of the Wild|Calamity Ganon]] from destroying the world. Ganon was cunning, however, and created the various blight Ganons to take control of the Divine Beasts and turn the [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] against the people of [[Hyrule#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule]]. On that day most of Hyrule's citizens, including the Champions and the King himself, lost their lives.{{Ref|''To know Calamity Ganon's true form, one must know the story from an age long past. The demon king was born in this kingdom, but his transformation into Malice created the horror you see now. Stories were passed from generation to generation in the form of legends and fairy tales. But there was also...a prophecy.'' - '''King Rhoam'''}}{{Ref|''"The signs of a resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear. And the power to oppose it lies dormant beneath the ground." We decided to heed the prophecy and began excavating large areas of land. It wasn't long before we discovered several ancient relics made by the hands of our distant ancestors. These relics, the Divine Beasts, were giant machines piloted by warriors. We also found the Guardians, an army of mechanical soldiers who fought autonomously. This coincided with ancient legends, oft repeated throughout our land. We also learned of a princess with a sacred power and her appointed knight, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness. It was they who sealed Ganon away using the power of these ancient relics. One hundred years ago, there was a princess set to inherit a sacred power and a skilled knight at her side. It was clear that we must follow our ancestor's path.'' - '''King Rhoam'''}}{{Ref|''We selected four skilled individuals from across Hyrule and tasked them with the duty of piloting the Divine Beasts. With the princess as their commander, we dubbed these pilots Champions- a name that would solidify their unique bond. The princess, her appointed knights, and the rest of the Champions were on the brink of sealing away Ganon... But nay... Ganon was cunning, and he responded with a plan beyond  our imagining.'' - '''King Rhoam'''}} Princess Zelda managed to survive and seal Ganon away inside [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]].{{Ref|''He appeared from deep below Hyrule Castle, seized control of the Guardians and the Divine Beasts, and turned them against us. The Champions lost their lives. Those residing in the castle as well. The appointed knight, gravely wounded, collapsed while defending the princess... And thus, the kingdom of Hyrule was devastated absolutely by Calamity Ganon. However... The princess survived.. to face Ganon alone.'' - '''King Rhoam'''}}
