 ===Breath of the Wild===
-[[Link]] awakens from a deep sleep after 100 years, and a mysterious voice guides him to discover what has become of the ruined kingdom of [[Hyrule]]. Link meets the [[Old Man]] and learns from him that 100 years prior, a great evil known as [[Calamity Ganon]] appeared and laid waste to Hyrule. Unable to be defeated, it was sealed within the [[Hyrule Castle]] while the ruins of the land were ravaged by nature over time. Although trapped, the Calamity Ganon has continued to grow in power, and Link must defeat it before it breaks free and destroys the world. Link is also given the [[Sheikah Slate]], which provides players with a map and allows Link to create way-points and investigate enemy stats. By discovering various runes, the Sheikah Slate can be upgraded with various powers such as creating bombs, controlling objects with magnetism and freezing time around enemies.
+{{spoiler}}
+[[Link]], also known as the Hero of Hyrule, is the primary protagonist in '''Breath of the Wild'''. One hundred years prior to the game's current events, Link was chosen by the [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]] to become wielder of the sacred blade and the one who would defeat [[Calamity Ganon]]. At the same time, Link was made [[Zelda#Breath of the Wild|Princess Zelda's]] appointed knight, and most of Link's memories entail his journeys during this time as Princess Zelda's protector.
+Link's skill as a knight came with ease, something that Princess Zelda was continually jealous of and angry about when looking at her own continued failures to discover the Goddess [[Hylia|Hylia's]] power that rested within. At first, their relationship was tense, and Zelda assured Link that she did not need his protection. However, as Link continued to fearlessly protect her and with Calamity Ganon's imminent return, she began to open up to him and discovered that the two weren't so different.
+Upon Calamity Ganon's return, events rapidly took a turn to disaster as Ganon used its powers to take over [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]], and to corrupt both the Guardians and the Divine Beasts. With nowhere left to run, Link and Zelda were left to fight on their own and survive in a world they could no longer combat. In an open field outside Hyrule, Link bravely stood against a [[Guardian]] with his last breath, continuing to defend Zelda and fulfill his role. While at this moment Zelda unlocked her true power after instead defending Link, the hero collapsed to the ground and died in Zelda's arms.
+However, when all hope was lost, the Master Sword began to glow with a blue aura and a voice from within the sword spoke to Princess Zelda. The voice was [[Fi]], who was still present within the blade after the events of  ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Fi told Zelda that Link could still be saved if taken to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], where after a slumber he would eventually be revived, ready to face Calamity Ganon once more.
+After one hundred years had passed, Link was awoken by Princess Zelda's voice. It is here that the game and Link's journey begins, as he attempt to regain his memories, strength, and the ability to defeat Calamity Ganon before he breaks free to destroy the world. After freeing all four [[Divine Beasts]] from Ganon's control, Link makes his way to the [[Sanctum]] of Hyrule Castle. After defeating Calamity Ganon, and his pure form of evil known as Dark Beast Ganon, Princess Zelda seals away Ganon and both Link and Zelda finally fulfill their roles  as the protectors of Hyrule.
+Link is shown to be an extremely capable swordsman before Calamity Ganon's return, managing to earn the respect of the Master Sword, as well as taking down some of Ganon's strongest enemies singlehandedly. After regaining his memories and with the help of ancient [[Sheikah]] technology, such as the [[Sheikah Slate]], Link recovers his former abilities and reclaims the Master Sword once again.
+Throughout Breath of the Wild, Link often has an uneasy relationship with many of the characters. Some, such as the [[Zora]], blame Link for the death of the [[Champions]] and Hyrule's demise. Others, such as [[Revali]] and other Champions, never believed in Link's ability, and did not see him as the hero that would save Hyrule. After Link freed each of the Divine Beasts and their respective Champions' spirits, they changed their mind and stood behind Link when he eventually faced Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle.
+Princess Zelda's Diary is the first text in the series to give an explanation for Link's persistent silence. The diary states that with so many people watching him, and with so much at stake, Link feels it necessary to stay strong and silently bear any burden. This in turn, causes him stop expressing his thoughts and feelings, and rather, work to fulfill the duty he was chosen for.
