With this in mind, [[Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule|King Rhoam]] and the Hylian people uncovered the ancient relics and learned to control them in preparation for Ganon's return. In addition, [[Zelda#Breath of the Wild|Princess Zelda]] commanded [[Link#Breath of the Wild|Link]], her knight and the chosen Hero of Hyrule, along with four individuals known as the [[Champions]] to pilot each of the Divine Beasts.

However, before Zelda could unlock her true power as the reincarnation of the Goddess [[Hylia]], Calamity Ganon returned. He took control of the Guardians and the Divine Beasts, killed the four Champions, and left much of Hyrule in ruins. Soon after, Princess Zelda finally unlocked the power that was inside her. Events took another turn for the worse, though, as Link died trying to protect her. Link was taken to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], where after a deep sleep he would recover and be ready to fight Ganon once again. Princess Zelda returned the sacred [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]] to its resting spot in the [[Korok Forest]], and used her power to seal Ganon inside [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]] until Link awakened.  
Zelda had been trying to unlock the power to seal away the Calamity as the reincarnation of the Goddess [[Hylia]] by praying at the spiritual springs. Frustrated with her lack of success, Zelda On her 17th birthday, she visited the one remaining spring in a final attempt to awaken her powers, but was again unsuccessful. Just as she was bringing this news to Link and the other Champions, Ganon returned. He took control of the Guardians and the Divine Beasts, killed King Rhoam and the four Divine Beast Champions, and left much of Hyrule in ruin. Unable to access the sealing power, Zelda and Link retreat from the castle. As an army of Guardians approached Link and Zelda in the aftermath of Ganon's attack, Zelda finally unlocked her sealing power out of desperation to protect the gravely wounded and exhausted Link. After Zelda destroyed the approaching Guardians, she found Link collapsed at her side and had him taken to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], where after a deep sleep he would recover and be ready to fight Ganon once again. Princess Zelda returned the sacred [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]] to its resting spot in the [[Korok Forest]], and used her power to contain Ganon within [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]] until Link awakened.

The King informs Link that Princess Zelda is gradually losing her power to contain Ganon, who will soon break free of his prison. To obtain the power to defeat Ganon, Link must regain his lost memories and unlock the power he once possessed.
