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.

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. | |||
With the four Divine Beasts 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.

After the battle, the spirits of King Rhoam and the four Champions are briefly seen observing Link and Zelda walking together. Starting towards Zora's Domain, Zelda tells Link that it seems as though the Divine Beast Vah Ruta has stopped working and that she can no longer hear the voice inside the Master Sword. Assuming that this is a result of her power waning after 100 years, she simply states "I think I can accept that", and the two embark on their journey to rebuild Hyrule to its former glory. | After the battle, the spirits of King Rhoam and the four Champions are briefly seen observing Link and Zelda walking together.
