The return of [[Ganon]] had been predicted for some time; leading to excavations that uncovered ancient technology, which Hyrulean scientists worked hard to make sense of, which reputedly had helped [[Link|a hero]] wielding the [[Master Sword|sword that seals the darkness]] and [[Zelda|a princess a sacred power]] to defeat Ganon ten thousand years before. [[Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule|King Rhoam]] also pushed his daughter, Zelda, to develop the "sealing power" innate to females of the royal line without success. | The return of [[Ganon]] had been predicted for some time; leading to excavations that uncovered ancient technology, which Hyrulean scientists worked hard to make sense of, which reputedly had helped [[Link|a hero]] wielding the [[Master Sword|sword that seals the darkness]] and [[Zelda|a princess a sacred power]] to defeat Ganon ten thousand years before.

What was not predicted was that, [[Return of Calamity Ganon|when Ganon emerged from beneath Hyrule Castle]], it would take control of the ancient technology - the smaller [[Guardian]]s using [[Malice]]; and the huge [[Divine Beast]]s using four Malice-created proxies, the Blight Ganons, killing and trapping the spirits of their [[Champion]] pilots [[Daruk]], [[Mipha]], [[Revali]] and [[Urbosa]] within. | |||

Amongst the survivors of the initial wave of attacks were the Princess and her appointed knight, [[Link]], the current holder of the [[Master Sword]]. While [[Despair|he comforted her when she despaired at the losses]], ultimately he would [[Zelda's Awakening|fall in battle attempting to protect her]] at the [[Ash Swamp]]. Seeing him collapse would finally trigger her sealing power, disabling all the Malice-fuelled Guardians at the location, but too late to save him.
