I wrote a news piece and scheduled it to publish tomorrow morning, it was covering that rumor that the italian voice actor of Daruk may have spoiled a plot detail of BotW's sequel. We only reported it as a rumor because it's not confirmed by Nintendo afterall, better to be cautious, and for all we know he could have just been doing voice acting for a DLC expansion to Age of Calamity, even if that's unlikely. Anyway, I had a tinfoil theory cross my mind over it. I would say read the spoiler at your own risk, it's not hugely spoilery, in fact it just kind of confirms one theory people have had about the game for a really long time. Still, if you want to avoid potential plot details, don't read it.
The voice actor said he voiced the ancestor of Daruk, meaning the game could be showing memories of, or feature the spirits of the champions from 10,000 years ago. Anyway, my thought was what if the blights are actually the corrupted champions from the past? It's a crazy theory, very flimsy, but yeah, just a thought
