Age of Calamity Story

Chapter 1

Across Time

Since ancient times, Calamity Ganon has threatened the land of Hyrule. As Hyrule Castle falls to his devastating assault, a lone Guardian reacts to Princess Zelda's desperate plea and embarks on a journey through time to save her.

King on the Eve of Battle

The king of Hyrule, preparing for the revival of Calamity Ganon, attempts to eliminate the monsters running rampant. Standing among the troops assembled for battle is the fateful knight Link.

The Central Tower

The mysterious Guardian that Link discovered during the battle reacts to the Sheikah Slate Impa has in her possession. Just as the Guardian reacts, a mysterious tower erupts from the ground.

The Diminutive Guardian

Impa racks her brain over the mysterious, diminutive Guardian and the tower that suddenly appeared. Meanwhile, the Guardian spots Hyrule Castle and, ignoring Impa's shouts, rushes towards it as fast as it can.

Reunited

Link and Impa pursue the Guardian, arriving at Hyrule Castle and meeting Zelda. As Zelda expresses her joy at their safe return, the small Guardian dashes up to her, seemingly desperate to convey something.

The Battle of Hyrule Field [text]

The Sheikah Slate conveyed the little Guardian's purpose. This anomalous visitor had traveled from a future of ruin–a time in the midst of the Calamity–to save Princess Zelda.

Road to the Ancient Lab (Part 1) [text]

Zelda, curious about the diminutive Guardian, decided to accompany Imps on her journey to Purah's research facility in Hateno [sic]. With Link acting as bodyguard, they made their way to the Ancient Tech Lab [sic].

Berserk

In order to analyze the Guardian from the future, Zelda travels with Link and the others to the Royal Ancient Lab. On the way there, however, a Guardian goes berserk and attacks the party. At the same time, a horde of monsters appear and attack as well.

A Hidden Observer

After narrowly escaping the rampaging Guardian and the monsters, Zelda and the others celebrate their safety. Meanwhile, an ominous figure observes them from hiding.

The Ruined Future

Carefully analysing the little Guardian from the future reveals it to be a completely new model built from unknown technology, and stored within it are detailed records of the events at Hyrule Castle after Calamity Ganon's revival.

Road to the Ancient Lab (Part 2) [text]

To stop Calamity Ganon, it was crucial that they possess the sword that seals the darkness, the latent power dwelling within the princess of Hyrule, and the might of the four Divine Beasts unearthed from across the land.

Departure

Zelda, Link, Impa and the others prepare to depart Hyrule Castle on orders from the king to recruit pilots for the Divine Beasts. The king stops them, however, when he recognizes the Guardian at Zelda's feet and gives her a stern admonition.

Chapter 2

Mipha, the Zora Princess [text]

The long-lived Zora, who could traverse rivers and lakes with ease, lived in Lanayru at a resplendent place dubbed Zora's Domain.

The Looming Threat

In order to recruit Mipha as a pilot for a Divine Beast, Zelda makes her case to Mipha's father, King Dorephan. The king refuses to permit Mipha to help, but the audience is cut short when monsters suddenly threaten Zora's Domain.

Against the Lynel

Discovering the young Prince Sidon standing up to a Lynel, the party quickly comes to his aid. The Lynel is undeterred by their arrival, brandishing a giant blade and releasing a terrifying roar.

Ray of Hope

The party rescues Sidon, but they have no time to rest before an even bigger horde of monsters appears. Comprehending the scale of the attack, Mipha and the others are at a loss for words until the little Guardian gives them a sliver of hope.

Divine Beast Vah Ruta

King Dorephan himself takes command of the forces defending Zora's Domain, but even under his guidance, they are backed into a corner by superior numbers. However, salvation arrives in the form of the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, piloted by Mipha.

Mipha's Wishes

After seeing Mipha use the power of the Divine Beast to defeat the Lyunel and hold off the massive attacking horde, King Dorephan acknowledges Mipha's resolve and gives his approval for her to serve as the pilot of the Divine Beast.

Daruk, the Goron Hero [text]

The rugged Gorons lived in Goron City, a town carved into Death Mountain. They were forged in volcanic heat, their bodies as hard as stone.

Reaching Vah Rudania

Daruk agrees to become the pilot of a Divine Beast, but it is revealed that a swarm of monsters has overrun Death Mountain, the location of Vah Rudania. Daruk makes for the mountain with the rest of the party in tow.

Divine Beast Vah Rudania

The party somehow makes it to the peak of the mountain. Daruk, led by the small Guardian, climbs into Vah Rudania and engages the monsters swarming over Death Mountain in pitched battle.

Daruk's Wishes

Daruk mops up the monsters swarming over Death Mountain then reaffirms his intention to pilot the Divine Beast. With words of thanks to Link and the party, Daruk hands over a treasured gift.

Revali, the Rito Warrior [text]

The Rito resided in a settlement on the Tabantha Frontier. These feathery folk were blessed with the ability to glide along the wind, and they were adept with bow and arrow.

Into the Storm

On the way to Rito Village, the party gets caught up in an intense snowstorm. Leaving Princess Zelda behind at a safe location, Link and the party set out to scout the area but quickly come into conflict with the Rito warriors led by Revali.

Peacemaker

Just as a fierce battle between Link and Revali is about to reach a violent conclusion, Princess Zelda intervenes. Both the snowstorm and the battle between the two warriors come to an abrupt end.

Revali's Wishes

Revali agrees to become a pilot for a Divine Beast but gets his feathers ruffled when he discovers that Link is the princess's knight. The little Guardian interjects, not in support of Link, but to assert that it is also a protector of the princess.

Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief [text]

The Gerudo lived in a settlement in the Gerudo Desert. Composed entirely of women, they were a tribe of great might and nobility.

Attack of the Gerudo!

The party sets out for Gerudo Town to recruit their chief, Urbosa, as a pilot of a Divine Beast. However, they are unexpectedly attacked by the Gerudo. Zelda steels herself and attempts to learn Urbosa's true motives.

Return of the Chief

With Zelda in peril, the real Urbosa makes her appearance, and the impostor chief is revealed to be Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan. Kohga quickly summons reinforcements to the battle then abruptly leaves them to fight on their own.

Slippery as a Banana Peel!

Urbosa and the others manage to corner Master Kohga, but they're suddenly confronted by the Yiga Blademaster Sooga. Both Sooga and Kohga disappear, though the conflict with the Yiga Clan appears likely to continue.

Urbosa's Wishes

In order to protect both her own desert home and all of Hyrule, Urbosa agrees to become a pilot for a Divine Beast. She also offers words of comfort to Zelda, who is feeling a mounting pressure to fulfill her duty as the days pass.

Plans for the Future

Master Kohga and Sooga escape to their hideout. Waiting for them there is the mysterious seer Astor, as well as a black Guardian eerily similar to the model that has been accompanying Zelda.

Zelda and the party journey to the Lanayru region to continue work with the Divine Beasts. However, Sooga and the Yiga Clan assassins attack before they can reach their destination.

The Yiga Clan Attacks! [text]

With that, the four Divine Beasts were assembled with their pilots. Training began in earnest, and the plan to defeat Hyrule's enemies began to coalesce.

An Uneasy Heart

Zelda has been successful in her recruiting mission, yet the king remains stern with her. Told to focus on her training now more than ever, Zelda tells the little Guardian of the insecurities she carries with her.

Assassination!

Zelda departs Hyrule Castle and sets out with the pilots for the Lanayru region, where they intend to train with the Divine Beasts. The party talks amongst themselves as they travel, but their progress is abruptly halted when the Yiga Clan appears, intent on taking Zelda's life.

Trust

Link and the others fight bravely in the intense battle and manage to rout Sooga and the Yiga Clan. Zelda offers Link gratitude for his protection, and finds herself slowly coming to trust him more and more.

Chapter 3

Freeing Korok Forest [text]

The king issued his first order to the Divine Beast pilots–seek out the knight who could wield the sword that seals the darkness. This would require that they vanquish the monsters in Korok Forest, where the legendary blade slept.

Divine Beast Vah Medoh

In order to more easily secure the sword that seals the darkness, the Master Sword, the king of Hyrule orders all monsters within Korok Forest be eradicated. A plan centred around the Divine Beast Vah Medoh is made, but its pilot, Revali, seems unsure about their leader.

To the Lost Woods

Thanks to the power of Vah Medoh, the monsters are cleared away and the party is able to continue on to the Lost Woods. Unbeknownst to them, however, Astor, the Yiga Clan and others have already infiltrated the forest depths.

A Guide through the Mists

Perhaps due to the monsters' influence, the Lost Woods is enveloped in a thick mist that obscures the surroundings. The party continues forward regardless, wary of enemy attacks, when they suddenly encounter Hestu the Korok.

The Master Sword Emerges

The party at last arrives in Korok Forest, but they find their way obstructed by Astor. Despite the confusion caused by the Hollows in the shape of his allies, Link unsheathes the sword that seals the darkness.

The Knight Who Seals the Darkness

With the Great Deku Tree's wait for the hero now complete, it passes along words of advice to Link, who wields the sword that seals the darkness. It also offers Zelda encouragement with awakening her power, before settling back into a deep slumber to nurse its wounds.

The Road Home, Besieged (Part 1) [text]

With the discovery of the knight who seals the darkness, hope spread among the people of Hyrule. Yet unease lingered in the princess's heart. No matter how much she devoted herself to training and research, doubts plagued her.

A Song from the Past

Witnessing the progress that Link and the pilots have made, Zelda is filled with doubt and worry about her own inability to succeed. The small Guardian notices this, and attempts to bolster her spirits with a lullaby...

Zelda's Wishes

Link remains as steadfast and dedicated as ever, stronger now that he is armed with the sword that seals the darkness. Zelda doubts her own abilities by comparison, and Urbosa tries to put her worries to rest by reminding her of the Great Deku Tree's words.

The Road Home, Besieged (Part 2) [text]

The pilots of the Divine Beasts and the knight with the key to defeating Calamity Ganon... In a grand ceremony, these five heroes convened, and King Rhoam bestowed upon each the title of Champion.

After the Ceremony

The inauguration ceremony for Link and the four Champions who will pilot the Divine Beasts comes to an end, and everyone takes in the celebratory atmosphere. An amusing interaction between the little Guardian and the others is enough to ease Zelda's worries, if only a bit.

Chapter 4

Akkala Tower (Part 1) [text]

As the pilots learned to manipulate the arcane machinery of their Divine Beasts, Purah led a research expedition to the otherworldly edifice that had appeared on Hyrule Field.

Determination

As Zelda prepares to depart and investigate the Central Tower, King Rhoam once again confronts her on where her focus lies. Zelda musters all of her courage to express her intentions to him, but…

Disharmony

As Zelda departs Hyrule Castle, Master Kohga and Sooga scheme with Astor about preventing the activation of the Sheikah Towers. Quietly, however, Sooga harbors his own doubts...

The Sheikah Towers Are Activated

Guided by the little Guardian, Link presents the Sheikah Slate to the terminal of the Central Tower, causing the tower to activate and rise up into the air. At the same time, the towers in other regions also rise up. Purah, observing this, cries out in excitement.

A Game Changer

Having successfully activated all of the Sheikah Towers, Zelda takes in the expansive view. Purah has been busy analysing the functions of the tower and, after lauding their usefulness in the defense of Hyrule, declares her intention to demonstrate their value.

Destroy the Yiga Clan! (Part 1) [text]

Now that the network of Sheikah Towers had been restored in full, the Sheikah Slate bestowed upon Zelda's party detailed knowledge of all Hyrule.

Divine Beast Vah Naboris

In the process of activating the Sheikah Towers in each region of Hyrule, the party learns valuable tactical knowledge, including the location of the Yiga Clan's hideout. Aiming to take them all out in one fell swoop, Urbosa boards Vah Naboris.

Destroy the Yiga Clan! (Part 2) [text]

Using Purah's insights, Urbosa easily accomplished her mission. Thus were Zelda and the others witness to the immense capability of the Sheikah Towers.

The Mighty Leader of the Yiga Clan!

The party has finally managed to corner the Yiga Clan, but Master Kohga refuses to go down without a fight–for some reason, he appears incredibly confident. After taunting the party, Kohga rushes to battle, henchmen in tow

Assigning Blame

Astor appears before the recently defeated Master Kohga, who is outraged that the Yiga Clan's promised victory did not come to pass. Astor simply smiles, stating that all is as it must be, and he warns the Yiga Clan not to oppose him.

March of Progress

Having handled the Yiga Clan, Zelda and the party realize how truly valuable the Sheikah Towers are. Purah is eager to continue her research with her newly increased staff. Zelda offers her words of encouragement, though she remains troubled by her own lack of progress.

The Calamity Revealed

As analysis of the little Guardian from the future continues, it is discovered that the date of Calamity Ganon's revival is also that of Zelda's 17th birthday. With little time remaining, the king impresses upon Zelda the need for her to focus on her training and awaken her powers.

When Courage Fails [text]

Records derived from the friendly Guardian indicated that Calamity Ganon would return on Zelda's 17th birthday. Desperate to preempt this grim future, King Rhoam ordered his daughter to train at the Spring of Courage.

A Shroud of Fear

Knowing there is no going back, Zelda attempts to muster her conviction and motivate herself to move forward. The others can do nothing but watch as she frets over the chance that she will fail. Suddenly, a swarm of monsters attack.

To the Very Last

Using her knowledge of ancient technology, Zelda saves everyone from the monster threat, though she tries once more to avoid taking credit. Impa impresses upon the princess the value of all she has done, and Zelda speaks of a renewed drive to fulfill her destiny.

Chapter 5

The Turning Point

The Royal Ancient Lab completes its analysis of the little Guardian, but Robbie and Purah are abruptly attacked by Yiga Clan infiltrators. Purah entrusts the Sheikah Slate to the little Guardian, who flees the lab in search of Zelda.

Calamity Strikes [text]

Accompanied by Link and Impa, Zelda sets out for the Spring of Wisdom on Mount Lanayru to train. She steels herself, knowing that this is her last chance to awaken her powers. At the moment Zelda crosses the bridge, Calamity Ganon suddenly revives and descends on the castle.

Disastrous Interference

On the way to their Divine Beasts, each of the Champions witnesses the sudden revival of Calamity Ganon. Matters are made worse as the Sheikah Towers simultaneously shut down due to Calamity Ganon's influence.

Duty

The Guardians, now under the control of Calamity Ganon, begin to attack Zelda, Link, and the others. Just as one has the princess and her protector in its sights, King Rhoam arrives to save them. The king reminds Link of his duty to the princess then remains behind as the pair flee the castle.

In the Midst of Despair...

Based on information from the little Guardian, Zelda learns that the Divine Beasts will also be taken over by Calamity Ganon. Frustrated by her own powerlessness, Zelda cries out in anguish. As her tears fall, the Guardian suddenly emits a strange light...
