Following this path, four Champions from across Hyrule were chosen to pilot the Divine Beasts: [[Mipha]] of the [[Zora#Breath of the Wild|Zora]], [[Daruk]] of the [[Goron#Breath of the Wild|Gorons]], [[Urbosa]] of the [[Gerudo#Breath of the Wild|Gerudo]], and [[Revali]] of the [[Rito#Breath of the Wild|Rito]]. They, alongside [[Link#Breath of the Wild|Link]], the princess's appointed knight, were placed under command of [[Zelda#Breath of the Wild|Princess Zelda]], the princess of Hyrule. | Following this path, four Champions from across Hyrule were chosen to pilot the Divine Beasts: [[Mipha]] of the [[Zora#Breath of the Wild|Zora]], [[Daruk]] of the [[Goron#Breath of the Wild|Gorons]], [[Urbosa]] of the [[Gerudo#Breath of the Wild|Gerudo]], and [[Revali]] of the [[Rito#Breath of the Wild|Rito]].

As detailed by various memories both Zelda and Link share, some details leading up to the events of Ganon's most recent return are known. Zelda conducts a ceremony to appoint Link as her appointed knight, attended by the four other Champions. During the ceremony, Zelda has a hesitant and insecure attitude, which the Champions readily observe. They interpret this as the princess's melancholy jealousy of Link's ability to fulfill his destiny as the hero while her own destiny remains uncertain. A short time later, as Zelda and Link are traveling to Goron City to make adjustments to one of the Divine Beasts, Zelda shows enthusiasm for experimenting with the ancient technology. Again, however, her insecurity regarding her inability to fulfill her destiny shows through as she speaks to Link.

Later, this fascination with the ancient technology becomes even more apparent as she is later seen attempting to gain access to a [[Shrine of Trials]] as Link arrives to escort her away on the king's orders. She lashes out at Link in surprise and frustration, but returns with him nevertheless. | ||
As Zelda and Link continue to travel throughout Hyrule to inspect and make adjustments to the Divine Beasts, Zelda is attacked by three members of the Yiga Clan. Link returns at the last possible second to rescue Zelda from their assault, after which Zelda begins to realize she shares a unique bond with Link as her protector. Then, while traveling in the Eldin region, Link repels an attack from numerous monsters - but not without sustaining injuries to himself. Zelda recognizes that not only have attacks have become more frequent, but that monsters have gotten more powerful as well. She recognizes these events as premonitions to the imminent return of Ganon, and urges Link to use caution.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|That cut doesn’t look too bad, actually.

A century after the return of Calamity Ganon and the deaths of the Champions and King Rhoam, Link awakens from his slumber in the Shrine of Resurrection to a mysterious voice, not knowing who or where he is. Finding a strange device nearby, the [[Sheikah Slate]] once used by Princess Zelda herself, he walks out onto the [[Great Plateau]] to meet an [[Old Man#Breath of the Wild|Old Man]]. The voice Link hears instructs him to proceed to a point on the map on his Sheikah Slate.

The voice Link hears instructs him to proceed to a point on the map on his Sheikah Slate. Upon arriving at this point, Link discovers an ancient [[Sheikah Tower]], which had been uncovered in the Great Calamity 100 years before.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|Though we didn’t plan for it, the Great Calamity exposed a Sheikah Tower… as well as a Guidance Stone. They were located in the Great Plateau, of all places…and activated by none other than you! |Purah}} With the Sheikah Slate now in the hands of the chosen hero, Link is able to activate the tower, which simultaneously activates the other towers across Hyrule as well as the many Shrines of Trials. | ||
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 | 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]]). | ||
The old man, believing that Link's fragile memory is now ready to be regaled with the story of Hyrule's demise, then tells Link that he is actually the spirit of King Rhoam from 100 years ago. He details the events of his kingdom's fall, including the discovery of the ancient relics, return of Calamity Ganon, and fact that Link is the revitalized knight who valiantly fell in battle defending the princess. He tells Link that Princess Zelda is the one who has been calling out to him, and that she has been gradually losing her power to contain Ganon within the castle. He warns that soon Zelda's power will be exhausted, after which Ganon will be free to regenerate and consume the land of Hyrule unopposed. With instructions to head to [[Kakariko Village]] to meet [[Impa]], Link sets out on his journey to regain his memories and re-harness control and support of the Divine Beasts in his new quest to defeat Ganon. | The old man, believing that Link's fragile memory is now ready to be regaled with the story of Hyrule's demise, then tells Link that he is actually the spirit of King Rhoam from 100 years ago.
