I'm sort of fascinated by a version of BotW with an even more extreme, severe and destructive Calamity. Where the Calamity is a true and total Calamity and does produce a true post apocalyptic environment.
Like link waking up to see a calamity ravaged hyrule where:
- Hateno fell and nearly the entirety of the Hylian/Human population being rendered completely extinct, save for two who are currently in a state of suspended animation. Calamity Ganon killing of the majority of the Hylian race in the villages and towns such as Hyrule Castle and the Yiga helping along this Genocide by picking off the stragglers.
- Zelda had weakened to the point of near possession and while still imprisoned, Ganon had been recovering his power and is still able to influence what happens in the outside world.
- The Age of the Burning Fields but the fields actually were burning and life after the calamity is hell on Earth because of the enormous disruption of Hyrule's ecosystems by malice and the guardians committing ecocide (destroying crops in the process) and slaughtering anything that moves and breathes (including livestock and game/hunting animals), resulting in a famine that sees more casualties in the wake of the Calamity.
- Although not as extreme as the untimely annihilation of the entire Hylian race, the societies of the other races have collapsed entirely, especially after their leaders died in the calamity and have been warring over scarce resources not destroyed by Ganon.
- The black and white definition of good and evil have blurred into the morally ambiguious/grey as everyone is forced to kill each other and commit what would be considered immoral or unethical actions such as cannibalism just to survive.
- Central Hyrule is a a lifeless wasteland similar to the castle town ruins. Completely devoid of life and the sheer toxicity of the malice cutting off the other provinces the other races reside in and rendering any communication and trade impossible and leaving each race no access to certain resources to survive.
- Any attempt to rebuild society and establish any semblance of normalcy have been met with Calamity Ganon launching sieges by Guardians, or the Yiga launching raids. Slowly picking off the living members of the other races and forcing whoever to survive to essentially go into full animal mode just to survive.
Basically the same premise of a world after the villain won, but instead of whole "moving on" bull**** in the game, the land is literally teetering on the verge of complete ruin and total sterilization while whoever is still alive is on the verge of total extinction as the guardians keep attacking newly established communities and settlements and keep killing more and more members of said races. Dooming them to the same fate that befell the Hylians: Total extinction.
