Upon seeing this, the old man tasks Link with accessing the four Shrines on the Plateau to obtain the treasures inside. Inside these shrines, Link obtains [[Spirit Orb]]s and activates several runes on the Sheikah Slate, granting him abilities to freeze objects in time ([[Stasis]]), manipulate metallic items ([[Magnesis]]), create and smash ice blocks ([[Cryonis]]), and use bombs ([[Remote Bomb]]). | Upon seeing this, the old man tasks Link with accessing the four Shrines on the Plateau to obtain the treasures inside.

As Link makes his way to the four corners of Hyrule to regain control of the Divine Beasts, he encounters the spirits of each of the Champions within their respective Divine Beasts. Through them, he learns that they each perished while fighting an elemental Blight of Ganon which had usurped control of the divine beast during the Great Calamity; [[Waterblight Ganon]] in Divine Beast [[Vah Ruta]], [[Fireblight Ganon]] in Divine Beast [[Vah Rudania]], [[Windblight Ganon]] in [[Divine Beast Vah Medoh]] and [[Thunderblight Ganon]] in Divine Beast [[Vah Naboris]]. After Link defeats each Blight of Ganon, he is awarded the unique ability of the Champion who piloted the Divine Beast; [[Mipha's Grace]], [[Daruk's Protection]], [[Revali's Gale]], and [[Urbosa's Fury]]. With the knowledge of the final fates of each of the champions, Link is also able to bring some closure to their home villages. | As Link makes his way to the four corners of Hyrule to regain control of the Divine Beasts, he encounters the spirits of each of the Champions within their respective Divine Beasts.

With the four Divine Beasts now under control of the Champions and taking aim at Ganon within Hyrule Castle, Link proceeds to the castle to battle Calamity Ganon once more. As Link enters the sanctum of the castle, Zelda exclaims that she is no longer able to restrain Ganon, at which point he breaks free from containment and crashes through the floor. Just before Link engages the Calamity, the Divine Beasts unleash their fury against Ganon, weakening him. After defeating the Calamity within the castle, Link is drawn out to Hyrule Field for a final showdown on horseback with the Beast of Ganon. Zelda presents Link with the Bow and Arrows of Light before the battle, explaining that she will use her remaining power to open holes in Ganon's defense of pure malice to allow Link to strike the beast. In the end, he succeeds defeating the beast of Ganon, freeing Princess Zelda and allowing her to finally seal him away. | With the four Divine Beasts now under control of the Champions and taking aim at Ganon within Hyrule Castle, Link proceeds to the castle to battle Calamity Ganon once more.
