Waking up and finding a strange device nearby, the [[Sheikah Slate]] once used by Princess Zelda herself, he walks out onto the [[Great Plateau]] to meet an [[Old Man#Breath of the Wild|Old Man]]. The voice Link hears instructs him to proceed to a point on the map on his Sheikah Slate. Upon arriving at this point, Link discovers an ancient [[Sheikah Tower|Sheikah Towers]], which had been uncovered in the attack of Ganon 100 years before. With the Sheikah Slate now in the hands of the chosen hero, Link is able to activate the tower, which simultaneously activates the other towers across Hyrule as well as the many [[Shrine of Trials|Shrines of Trials]]. | ||
Upon seeing this, the old man tasks Link with accessing the four Shrines on the Plateau to obtain the treasures inside. Inside these shrines, Link obtains [[Spirit Orb|Spirit Orbs]] and activates several runes on the Sheikah Slate, granting him abilities to freeze objects in time ([[Stasis]]), manipulate metallic items ([[Magnesis]]), create and smash ice blocks ([[Cryonis]]), and use bombs ([[Remote Bomb]]). | Upon seeing this, the old man tasks Link with accessing the four Shrines on the Plateau to obtain the treasures inside.

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. | ||
After hearing more details about the 10,000 year old legend and events of 100 years prior from Impa in Kakariko Village, Link begins his journey to defeat Ganon by regaining control and the support of the four Divine Beasts. Along this journey, he discovers the locations of photos left on the Sheikah Slate from the past which jog elements his memory, eventually allowing him to regain the complete picture of his role in the events of the past. Link also meets [[Purah]] and [[Robbie]], the other two Sheikah who were present 100 years ago, who help him enhance the runes on his Sheikah Slate and create ancient equipment to aid him in battle against the Guardians. Link finally frees the spirits of the four Champions and obtains the unique abilities each possessed as an aid to his quest. | |||
With the four Divine Beasts taking aim at Hyrule Castle, Link | 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. Just before Link engages the Calamity, the freed 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 with the Beast of Ganon. Zelda presents Link with the Bow of Light before the battle and explains that she will use her remaing power to open holes in Ganon's defense 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 away Ganon. Afterwards, the two set out to rebuild Hyrule to its former glory. | ||
