==Characteristics==
==History==
The massive enemy has characteristics that resemble that of a [[Beamos]]. When it sees [[Link]] in the distance, its eye lights up and it shoots a powerful laser beam toward him. These beams cause massive destruction and cause objects in the distance to light on fire. The enemy also shoot these beams out in rapid succession.


Unlike most Beamos, this creature is not stationary and has the ability to move very rapidly in pursuit of Link. The enemy has six massive legs. While it may not have exactly eight legs to fit the traditional definition of an arachnid, the enemy does resemble similar spider-like enemies that have appeared in the ''Zelda'' series before.
The Guardians were crafted by the ancient people of [[Hyrule]] 10,000 years prior to the events of ''Breath of the Wild''. They were created by the thousands, to stop the powerful beast known as [[Ganon]], along with the four [[Divine Beast]]s. Ganon was defeated, and the Guardians eventually became lost and buried far underground. 9,900 years later, the Guardians and the Divine Beasts were rediscovered by the Hyrule under the command of [[Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule|King Rhoam]]. The people brought the mechanical beasts back to life, and planned on using them to stop Ganon, when he inevitably returns. Things seemed tremendous for the Hylians; they were well prepared for Ganon, however, when he returned, things didn't quite go as planned. As the Guardians and Divine Beasts were ready to attack Ganon, he unleashed a powerful draining force which corrupted all the Guardians and Divine Beasts to be under his control. The Guardians turned against the people of Hyrule, starting with destroying [[Hyrule Castle Town]] and all its inhabitants, before wreaking havoc on the rest of Hyrule, and Ganon almost had full control of the land.


The legs double-down as large tentacles, capable of destroying environmental objects, as well as attacking Link. Each of the tentacles have four claws, which assumingly allows the enemy to grab hold of objects.
In the present day, [[Link#Breath of the Wild|Link]] awakens from the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], with the motive to stop Ganon and save Hyrule. Guardians are littered all around the [[Great Plateau]], most of which are non-functioning, however the rouge machine is. As Link traverses the land of Hyrule, he sees many Guardians, active and inactive, scattered everywhere. They are more prominent the closer he gets to Hyrule Castle, being stronger than ever and with a blood lust for Link.


Like Beamos that have appeared in modern ''Zelda'' games including ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword| Skyward Sword]]'', Link is able to defeat this massive creature by shooting its eye with his [[Bow]] and [[Arrow]].

The Guardian is a type of enemy that appears in Breath of the Wild. There are many variants of Guardians, ranging from the airborne Skywatchers to the powerful Stalkers.

History

The Guardians were crafted by the ancient people of Hyrule 10,000 years prior to the events of Breath of the Wild. They were created by the thousands, to stop the powerful beast known as Ganon, along with the four Divine Beasts. Ganon was defeated, and the Guardians eventually became lost and buried far underground. 9,900 years later, the Guardians and the Divine Beasts were rediscovered by the Hyrule under the command of King Rhoam. The people brought the mechanical beasts back to life, and planned on using them to stop Ganon, when he inevitably returns. Things seemed tremendous for the Hylians; they were well prepared for Ganon, however, when he returned, things didn't quite go as planned. As the Guardians and Divine Beasts were ready to attack Ganon, he unleashed a powerful draining force which corrupted all the Guardians and Divine Beasts to be under his control. The Guardians turned against the people of Hyrule, starting with destroying Hyrule Castle Town and all its inhabitants, before wreaking havoc on the rest of Hyrule, and Ganon almost had full control of the land.

In the present day, Link awakens from the Shrine of Resurrection, with the motive to stop Ganon and save Hyrule. Guardians are littered all around the Great Plateau, most of which are non-functioning, however the rouge machine is. As Link traverses the land of Hyrule, he sees many Guardians, active and inactive, scattered everywhere. They are more prominent the closer he gets to Hyrule Castle, being stronger than ever and with a blood lust for Link.
