The '''Great Calamity''' was an event in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' where [[Calamity Ganon]] rose, possessed the [[Divine Beast]]s and [[Guardian]]s, killed the [[Champion]]s and destroyed the kingdom of [[Hyrule]] before being temporarily sealed by [[Zelda#Breath of the Wild|Princess Zelda]]. | |||
==History== | |||
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 with divine blood]] 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. | |||
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 proxies, the Blight Ganons, killing and trapping the spirits of their [[Champion]] pilots [[Daruk]], [[Mipha]], [[Revali]] and [[Urbosa]] within. Everyone within [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], including the King, and many outside were killed in the process, essentially destroying the Kingdom of Hyrule and causing scars which would last a century, as the ruins of settlements including [[Hyrule Castle Town Ruins|Hyrule Castle Town]] continued to litter the landscape. | |||
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]]. Seeing him collapse would finally trigger her sealing power, disabling all the Malice-fuelled Guardians at the location, but too late to save him. At the instigation of [[Fi|the voice within the Master Sword]], she had two [[Sheikah]] warriors take him to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] to save his life, then [[The Master Sword (Memory)|took the Master Sword itself to Korok Forest]], to sit in a pedestal in front of the [[Great Deku Tree]] to recover. | |||
Finally, she would face Ganon alone in Hyrule Castle, and sealed it in a stalemate which left them both trapped for a hundred years, bringing the Great Calamity to a temporary end. | |||
