The Ancient Hero was a knight present during the first Calamity. Inheriting the soul of the hero and one of the two destined warriors to oppose [[Ganon]], the Ancient Hero eventually worked alongside the princess of his time, [[Sheikah Monks]] and the [[Champions|Ancient Champions]] piloting [[Divine Beasts]] to suppress and defeat Calamity Ganon. The Ancient Hero would deliver the final blow with the [[Master Sword]] and the princess would seal him away. His actions were made a legend within the Royal Family of Hyrule and Sheikah alike, preserved for over 10,000 years afterwards.{{ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion]]''}}{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]|The kingdom of Hyrule is a vast and storied land, | The Ancient Hero was a knight present during the first Calamity.

The story of the Ancient Hero is depicted on the [[Calamity Ganon Tapestry]], where he, with the aid of [[Sheikah]] technology and the magic of the Princess, smote the Calamity, leaving it sealed for 10,000 years. As with the four original Champions and the historic Princess, this screen was the only visual representation of his existence, leaving his identity largely unknown. Within the tapestry, he bears clothing resembling the [[Champion's Tunic]] worn later by [[Link]], his distant future successor. | |||
The Ancient Hero is also mentioned by [[Kass]] in a series of ancient songs written by his mentor, whom was a Sheikah court poet secretly in love with Princess Zelda and jealous of Link. Kass's mentor later came to respect Link and created a song regarding the Ancient Hero, Champions, and Princess of 10,000 years ago in hope his efforts will help Link when he must save Zelda himself in the present time. The ancient song recounts the same history described in the tapestry, describing the Ancient Hero as a fearless knight and detailing the same plan eventually used by Link and the Champions (sans the assistance of the Guardians).{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]|The kingdom of Hyrule is a vast and storied land, | |||
Oft grasped in the palm of a villainous hand. A dark force of destruction, many times undone, Rises once again–Ganon, the calamitous one. But hope survives in Hyrule, for all is not lost, Two brave souls protect it, no matter the cost. A goddess-blood princess and a fearless knight, They appear in each age to fight the good fight. Their battle with Ganon I've committed to song, To keep it through time, no matter how long. Now begins the second verse, listen and you'll know, Of their battle with Ganon 10,000 years ago.The kingdom of Hyrule was once a land of lasting peace, A culture of such strength and wit, that suffering did cease., But Ganon lurked beneath the surface, strengthening its jaws | Oft grasped in the palm of a villainous hand.

So the ancient people of Hyrule set out to help the cause. Their efforts bore fruit in an automated force,To help avert Calamity by sealing it at its source Four giant behemoths for which power never ceased, Each of these titans was called a "Divine Beast." And free-willed machines that hunted down their prey, These Guardians were built to last so they could join the fray. To guide the beasts in battle, warriors were needed, So four Champions were pledged to see Ganon defeated. Divine Beasts, Champions, princess, and knight, Their plan to rout Ganon was looking airtight. And when Calamity Ganon reared its head, Hyrule rose against it The optimism of Hyrule all the more incensed it. Ganon raged in its assault, boiling with hate, It gnashed its teeth and thrashed about, but it was all too late.The Guardians kept the heroes safe through every hour...The Divine Beasts unleashed attacks that weakened Ganon's power. The hero with the sealing sword struck the final blow, And the holy power of the princess sealed Ganon so. And that is the story of the brazen attack, On Calamity Ganon 10,000 years back.|Kass}} | So the ancient people of Hyrule set out to help the cause.
