Urbosa/Synopsis

The Synopsis of Urbosa from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
==Background==
Urbosa lived in Gerudo Town with the other members of her race. She was lifelong friends with the Queen of Hyrule and was around when the queen came to her town and gave her the news of Princess Zelda's birth and introduced the baby to Urbosa, which the Gerudo chief noted that she had the sweetest smile and grew to love her and hopes she will be beautiful and dignified. The queen agrees but says that appearances are fleeting and wished for her daughter to be blessed with true joy. The Queen often called Zelda the nickname of "Little bird" and Urbosa notes that the way she heard this and saw the way she looked at her child, that she knew this was unconditional love. 
Six years later however, before Zelda could begin her training with her mother as her mentor, the queen has unexpectedly died from unknown circumstances. Her husband King Rhoam, and daughter Princess Zelda were stricken with grief at this tragedy and Urbosa was also mournful of her friend's death. She observed that the princess went through the whole funeral without crying, but as steady as she was, Urbosa still worries for her as she would carry the burden of awakening her power on her own without much guidance in the coming years. 
A year after the queen's death, Urbosa paid a visit to Hyrule Castle to have an audience with King Rhoam and saw Princess Zelda for the first time since the visitation, but it was out of concern for the princess that she went there. Rhoam permitted her to journey to the spring to start her training. Princess Zelda prayed for several hours in the freezing water to try to unlock her power, and Urbosa urged her to stop but Zelda doesn't comply despite how cold and exhausted she was, until she passed out. Urbosa takes her out of the water and upon waking up, the princess finally breaks down in frustration due to the anxiety she feels at not achieving her sacred duty and Urbosa could only hold her close. 
== The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ==
Nine years later, the reality of Calamity Ganon's eventual return could no longer be ignored. Emissaries came to Urbosa to inquire of her help in driving back Ganon by piloting Divine Beast Vah Naboris. Her people are not comfortable about Urbosa taking up such a dangerous mission, finding it unfitting for the chief. Urbosa doesn't blame them for their worries in a life and death battle, but she is intending on accepting her call, due to having greatly despised of the fact that Calamity Ganon was once associated with the Gerudo in the past and the lives of the people living not only in Hyrule, but the entire world is at stake, so she refused to sit in the sidelines. She is, however, excited when she hears that Princess Zelda will be visiting her. 
When the princess does arrive at sunset, Urbosa quickly accepts her proposition due to the fact that the Yiga Clan aimed to resurrect Ganon but are going after her heirloom, the Thunder Helm, capable of protecting the user from lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. During a stroll around town at night, Zelda tells her that she had never seen her so solemn before. Urbosa agrees and states that ten years ago that she rarely smiled calling her little bird as two people pass by in the opposite direction. The princess felt like she had been called that before and noticed that Urbosa has stopped and had two of these folks at the corner of her eye. She suspects them to be the Yiga Clan in disguise and tells them to stop and unlike them, she prefers to fight her enemies head on and challenges them. They revealed themselves and dueled the Gerudo Chief but were no match for Urbosa. Zelda warns of the one behind her, but Urbosa, having clashed with them numerous times before, knows of this and with the snap of her fingers, she shocks the Yiga Footsoldier into submission. She spares the duo out of Zelda's respect and were forced to retreat. Urbosa returns of the subject of her calling the princess little bird and explains that the late queen often called her that when she was still alive and Zelda figures that it was her mother. The Gerudo Chief notes that even after her mother's death, Zelda still spread her wings to become the beacon of light that Hyrule needed and adds that she sometimes forgets herself and becomes lost in the past. 
Urbosa is required to undergo three trials to prove herself worthy of taming Vah Naboris; which consist of her battling a Molduking, surfing along the sands to go through the glowing rings, and to throw a sacred orb into the pit in the Yiga Clan Hideout. She was able to pass the test.
A few days later, Urbosa attends the inauguration ceremony with Link, Mipha, Daruk, and Revali whom share the same fate, and each had put on their blue cloths that Zelda gave them. Urbosa had replaced her black skirt in favor of her blue Champion skirt and had removed her chieftain's crown. She was recruited by King Rhoam and Princess Zelda to become the Gerudo Champion and pilot of the Divine Beast Vah Naboris as a protector of Hyrule. After the ceremony ends, the Champions take a break outside and the Champions, mainly Revali, Mipha, and Urbosa had taken interest in the Sheikah Slate and Urbosa notes that the Slate is capable of creating still-images and Mipha soon asked Zelda for a special favor. Purah volunteered to take their photo and instructed everyone to get into position and just as she took it, Daruk pulls everyone in at the last second, which had rather goofy results. According to Zelda's Research Notes, Urbosa was able to control her Divine Beast with relative ease. Urbosa had noticed that Princess Zelda was uncharacteristically cold and aloof with Link, due to his perpetual silence and knows the reason why and has heard that Link was going to be her appointed knight and hopes that they will eventually get along. 
Later on, Daruk has the idea of a ceremony just for Link to become her top guard who will accompany her wherever she goes. However, Princess Zelda gave a downgraded speech and Daruk wasn't too pleased with how it's going and Revali reminds him that this ritual was his idea, criticized the abyssmal tone, and reveals his resentment towards Link before Urbosa tells him to drop it and tells them that Zelda sees Link as a reminder of her own failures, which is from Zelda's perspective anyway. 
As the princess' disdain of Link's presence grew, she would coldly dismiss him and often tries to avoid him, going as far as to using a loophole to slip away through Gerudo Town as it was known for denying entry to male individuals. Link tells Urbosa of this and taught him a trick to gain entrance by disguising himself, but Zelda had already disappeared. Urbosa noticed that Link has trouble expressing himself due to the heavy burden he carried since gaining the Master Sword and Urbosa had hoped that Zelda would give him a chance. 
Urbosa went with Zelda to research Vah Naboris and after the sun sets, the princess was tired and went to sleep and the Gerudo Champion lets Link know and he arrived relatively quickly. Urbosa then shares some information regarding Zelda's duties and putting so much work and dedication to unlocking her power, which is required to seal Ganon away, to the point of blacking out at one point. She adds that he himself has some troubles of his own, both with his duty and his shaky relationship with the princess. She sympathizes with Zelda and comments that she is quite special and being her appointed knight is an honor and should protect her with his life. When the night grew cold, Urbosa thought of bringing her in, but she has other ideas and snaps her fingers to call forth Urbosa's Fury, scaring Zelda awake. She sees Link and asks what he's doing here and Urbosa bursts out laughing, with Zelda asking what was funny. 
Zelda's constant avoidance of Link led her to realize that without him, she is completely vulnerable and was almost assassinated by the Yiga Clan, but Link managed to defend her just in time. This was a turning point in her opinion of Link and stopped trying to flee from him and eventually became friends, Much to Urbosa's joy that they are opening up a lot more to each other and hopes that it would improve her training but becomes concerned that their time is running out due to increased monster attacks and prays to Zelda's mother for her to have enough time, and still misses her. 
 
Several days later, Zelda returns with Link from training at Mt. Lanayru with a sullen look on her face. Urbosa and the awaiting Champions meet them at the gate and are distraught upon seeing the sad look on her face indicating it did not go well. Urbosa tells her that she must move on to another method, as feeling sorry for herself won't help with anything, and states that anything could activate it. Mipha attempts to give Zelda advice but is interrupted by a quake and Revali soars into the air to investigate and upon landing, Urbosa realized that Calamity Ganon returned. Daruk orders the Champions to go to their Divine Beasts and Link to head to Hyrule Castle. Urbosa urges Zelda to take refuge, but she refuses, stating that she will do something regardless of whether she has her power or not. 
Unfortunately, neither Urbosa nor the Champions are seen again after this scene. Urbosa's route has her roaming along the southern edges of Hyrule Field and goes through Gerudo Canyon and climbs her way up. When she arrives, she saw that Vah Naboris had been taken over by Thunderblight Ganon and was sealed inside. She fought as much as she could, but she winds up falling in battle. King Rhoam was also slain in the midst of the ensuing chaos. After Zelda's power finally awakens, the wounded Link is brought to the Shrine of Resurrection to recover, Zelda takes the Master Sword to Korok Forest and has the Great Deku Tree watch over it until Link's return and made other preparations before sealing Ganon away for the next century. The Gerudo are despondent over the loss of their chief and had the Thunder Helm and another heir that who would succeed her.
With Ganon's power growing and Link's eventual awakening without any memory of the events, it took remote control of the Divine Beasts and the Guardians as it wreaked havoc on their homelands. For Vah Naboris, it created sandstorms and summoned lightning to strike at anyone who wanders near and the Gerudo are concerned about it possibly coming to town. Link has retrieved the Thunder Helm from the Yiga Clan and with Riju's help, managed to end the rampage. Urbosa notices Link entering and instructs him to head to the Guidance Stone where he can get Vah Naboris's map, so that he can locate the five terminals that will fire up the Main Control Unit. When Link tries to start the Main Control Unit after all five terminals are active, Thunderblight Ganon appears and Urbosa explains that it was responsible for her demise and urges Link to fight for his life and the monster's death. After Thunderblight was obliterated, Vah Naboris is freed and Urbosa appears to Link to thank him for his help. In return, she gives Link her special ability Urbosa's Fury in the form of a yellow orb and tells him to ask Zelda that she shouldn't burden herself with the deaths of the Champions or the others who didn't make it and nobody should carry the blame besides Ganon, who was responsible for Hyrule's fall before Link leaves and relocates the newly freed Naboris to take aim at Hyrule Castle and reveres Nabooru, the ancient Gerudo heroine who made an impact on the Gerudo and brings up the subject of Ganon's former connection with her kind, but despite this, she will take it personally. 
When the EX Urbosa's Song sidequest is completed, Urbosa will cut down the cooldown time of her power and tells Link that he is the pride of Hyrule and leaving Zelda and the kingdom in his hands. If Link defeats Thunderblight Ganon again if Urbosa's fury is already updated, Urbosa will give additional dialogue depending on what's on her mind. In the first line of dialogue, Urbosa will ask Link to find her diary so that he can show it to Zelda sometime since there is a section about her deceased mother and how it was so sudden that she left the world and how bad of an impact it left on her daughter. In the second line of dialogue, Urbosa will ask how he managed to get inside Gerudo Town without anyone suspecting a thing and figures that he dressed in the traditional Gerudo outfit. She states that he looked lovely in it and should wear it to Zelda sometime. In the third line of dialogue, Urbosa will wonder who the current chief is and deduces that her death had been very hard for her people. But she knows her people well enough that they can break through any obstacle in their way. In the fourth line of dialogue, Urbosa addresses the burdens that rest on Link's shoulders and assures him that he is the most courageous voe she has ever known. When Ganon is destroyed, she hopes to share her cherished memories with Zelda's mother and to assure her that she is in good hands. In the fifth and final dialogue, Urbosa expresses amazement that the Hero of Hyrule has not rusted with age, though she warns him not to let his guard down as neither of them want to see Zelda in tears. 
She was later seen firing her Divine Beast's laser towards Hyrule Castle to help weaken the Calamity Ganon. After Princess Zelda was freed and sealed Ganon away for good, Urbosa, the Champions, and King Rhoam look on towards Link and the princess, all having fulfilled their roles in the mortal world before leaving for the afterlife, and Link and Zelda would begin the process of restoring the fallen kingdom of Hyrule back to the way it used to be. 
== The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom ==
While Urbosa and the other Champions do not make a physical appearance, she, alongside them, do make a cameo appearance in the form of the Picture of the Champions, if the player has a completed The Champions' Ballad in their save file.
== Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity ==
In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which takes place 100 years before the events in Breath of the Wild when Link awoke from his rejuvenation sleep to a Hyrule in ruins and Zelda struggling to keep Calamity Ganon contained in Hyrule Castle, just before Calamity Ganon launched his attack and instigated the Great Calamity, a small Guardian named Terrako traveled into the past to warn the past versions of Zelda, Link, and the Champions of Calamity Ganon's impending attack and give them time to muster their forces for when he arrives. Urbosa was returning to Gerudo Town, where she currently was serving as chieftain, but in the meantime, Yiga Clan leader Master Kohga impersonates her and uses her authority to send the Gerudo warrior women, or vai, after Link, Zelda, and Impa, though Kohga's outbursts of anger over Link, Zelda, and Impa fighting past the vai towards Gerudo Town start to raise suspicion among the vai over Urbosa's abnormal behavior regarding their inability to stop the Princess and her escorts from reaching the town and the Chieftain's palace. When they finally reach Gerudo Town and go to see Urbosa in the Chieftain's palace, Kohga prepares to strike Zelda down while still disguised as Urbosa with the vai honor guards as witnesses after they block the quartet in with their Gerudo spears and two more stand guard to either side of the Chieftain's throne, but is harshly electrocuted and knocked out by the real Urbosa just in time since the real Urbosa could manipulate lightning against her foes with just a snap of her fingers, and proves she's the real one to Zelda by calling her by her nickname, "Little Bird", due to how close her friendship with Zelda's late mother, the Queen of Hyrule, was. His cover blown thanks to Urbosa exposing him and proving which Urbosa was the authentic one, Kohga reveals himself and summons several of his Yiga Clan Footsoldiers to fight Urbosa, Link, Zelda, Impa, and Urbosa's vai honor guards and other vai warriors while he escapes, leaving his warriors stunned and confused that their leader just chickened out on them after calling them in. After dealing with his Blademasters leading the assault on Gerudo Town, Urbosa later pursues him and defeats him after scaring off his warriors by summoning the giant Molduga that lurks in the Gerudo Desert with some Remote Bombs to disturb it from its slumber, and then rallying her vai to get a little payback for being pawns to the Yiga, which they do in spades alongside the Hyrulean Army with Link, Zelda, and Impa by taking all of the Yiga's outposts and defeating Kohga in his main camp. However, before she can finish Kohga off with Link once he is cornered, Kohga's elite Blademaster and second-in-command Sooga arrives and saves Kohga before escaping together with him, much to Urbosa's annoyance after the trouble they caused to her vai and Gerudo Town. 
Later, meeting with Link, Zelda, Impa, and Terrako at Divine Beast Vah Naboris, Urbosa explains about the Yiga Clan and how they are Sheikah traitors who turned their back on Hyrule to side with Calamity Ganon, leaving Impa hurt to know some of her own kind have chosen to turn against Hyrule for Ganon, still clutching onto their hatred of the Royal Family's persecution of the Sheikah so long ago. Urbosa then agrees to pilot Vah Naboris against Calamity Ganon due to her close bond with Zelda, as she couldn't refuse helping the daughter of one of her best friends and knows how Zelda and King Rhoam still mourn for the Queen after she passed. Another reason for her agreeing to help with no strings attached was due to the hatred Urbosa held for Ganon due to his Gerudo origins as Ganondorf, considering him a slur on her proud race.
After the four Champions are gathered, Zelda takes them to calibrate their Divine Beasts for them, but they are ambushed in Castle Town by Sooga, the Yiga, and Ganon's monsters. Link takes Zelda and withdraws while Urbosa and the other Champions fight off the hostiles with their own troops and the Hylian Captains, but the Hinox they engage was a decoy so Sooga could get at Zelda himself, but was stopped by Link, forcing Sooga to call a retreat. 
They join Link and Zelda as they head into the Korok Forest to locate the Master Sword. During the initial overview of the forest, when Revali has a little fun poking at Link and insulting him, Urbosa comes to Link's defense, chastising Revali for his pompous behavior. After Revali has Divine Beast Vah Medoh take out the various enemy outposts and large monsters like Hinox and Lynel surrounding the forest, he rejoins Urbosa and the others as they head inside, encountering the large Korok Hestu, who they help reach home after learning that the forest is infested with monsters, he can't get past on his own, with Urbosa speaking on behalf of Zelda and the others with offering their help to Hestu. They also notice that, even though Calamity Ganon is still dormant, the forest is filled with his Malice, raising their concern as to how that was possible. They soon discover that the Malice is being generated by the Hollows, Malice-born copies of the Divine Beast Champions, with Urbosa being somewhat amused at facing her Malice-born doppelganger as a challenge. However, upon reaching the grove where the Master Sword rests, Link and Zelda are ambushed by Astor, the Prophet of Doom and follower of Calamity Ganon, who attacks them with the Hollows, who manage to break Link's standard-issued sword from his service in the Hyrulean Army in two before smacking him against the dormant Master Sword. On Astor's orders, the Hollows go for Zelda to kill her and prevent her dormant sealing power from awakening, but just as the Hollow of Urbosa lunges and is about to stab Zelda in the face and kill her with her scimitar, the Master Sword reacts to Zelda being in danger and Link's willpower with wanting to protect her and intervenes, stopping the Urbosa Hollow with the tip of her scimitar inches from Zelda's face, and causing the Hollows to weaken and dissolve, unable to maintain their forms against the light of the Blade of Evil's Bane, before Link draws the sword from its pedestal and prepares to face Astor with it. Despite his best efforts, including summoning the Hollows to protect him at several points during his fight with Link, Astor is forced to withdraw, unable to combat the power of the Blade of Evil's Bane as it is too strong for him. Meeting with the Great Deku Tree, it assures Zelda that they have everything they need to defend Hyrule from the Calamity and entrusts Hyrule's fate to her, Link, and the Champions before he returns to his slumber. 
As they return to Hyrule Castle Town, they are attacked by more of Ganon's monsters, including the Hollows again, but manage to eliminate them and clear the way back to Hyrule Castle. After the fighting subsides, Zelda voices her doubts at becoming as strong as Link has become thanks to the Master Sword due to her sealing magic having not awoken yet, but Urbosa once more assures Zelda that Link is still the same boy, despite his true calling as the hero to wield the Blade of Evil's Bane, and to remember what the Great Deku Tree said when they visited it earlier, putting Zelda at ease, grateful for Urbosa's sagely advice for a time.
Soon after returning to Castle Town, Urbosa is officially given her Champion of Hyrule attire, retiring wearing the crown and skirt she wore as Gerudo Chieftain for the skirt with Vah Naboris on it. From there, she joins Link and Zelda as Purah shows them the Sheikah Towers and their unique abilities when used in conjunction with the Sheikah Slate. However, upon heading to Akkala Citadel to activate the tower there, they find the Citadel having been captured by Sooga and the Yiga Clan to prevent the Champions from using the towers to locate the Yiga Clan's main base. Terrako is able to use some of the dormant Guardian Stalkers around the area to destroy the barricades the Yiga set up to block access to the Citadel, including one that forces the Yiga to open the Citadel's main gate to flee from it in terror. Despite heavy resistance inside, including from Sooga and a Blue-Maned Lynel, Sooga is defeated and forced to order a withdrawal, returning control of the Citadel back to Hyrule, and allowing the Sheikah Tower there to finally be activated, allowing the Champions to begin the search for Master Kohga's main base. 
Shortly thereafter, Urbosa returns to Gerudo Town and prepares to take Vah Naboris for a run to test out Purah's theory about the Sheikah Towers to help them locate Master Kohga's main hideout for the Yiga Clan. Her mission proves successful as the Divine Beast clears the way straight to the Yiga Clan's main hideout, despite stiff resistance from the Yiga, Molduga, and other enemies. The Champions move in, and despite Master Kohga, Sooga, and the Yiga Clan's best tactics, they are swiftly routed. Urbosa later returns to learn first-hand of the Sheikah Towers' teleportation ability when Purah demonstrates it on her, Zelda, and Link alongside herself, but does so while catching them by complete surprise, much to their chagrin and annoyance. 
However, Urbosa is forced to return to Gerudo Town to prepare Vah Naboris for war when Impa reports to King Rhoam that Zelda's 17th birthday is the day that Calamity Ganon is to return, and Zelda is sent to the Spring of Courage to train, but after she, Impa, and Link fight off the monsters sent to deal with her, she chooses to head to Mount Lanayru to train at the Spring of Wisdom as soon as she is 17, while King Rhoam orders the civilians to evacuate Castle Town and Hyrule Castle, along with surrounding communities, to prevent collateral damage when the Guardians turn hostile thanks to Calamity Ganon's Malice, and has the Divine Beasts and their Champions prepare for the inevitable. The troops that are evacuated are transferred to Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno, Hyrule's two vital strongholds, to reinforce the garrisons as if the Citadel and Fort fall, Hyrule is doomed.
Soon, Calamity Ganon arrives as planned, starting with when Yiga Clan members, who had infiltrated Robbie and Purah's lab in disguise as some of their Sheikah staff, ambush them and take them and their researchers hostage, but Purah gives the Sheikah Slate to Terrako to take to Zelda, allowing him to escape the Yiga before they can stop him. Shortly after that happens, Calamity Ganon's seal is ruptured, and the being of Malice and evil incarnate engulfs Hyrule Castle, turning the Guardians against those they were meant to protect. Urbosa and the other Champions take notice from the Sheikah Towers in their respective regions, such as Gerudo Desert for Urbosa, before the towers lose their power and are rendered inoperable by Calamity Ganon, cutting the Champions off from aiding each other or the castle. King Rhoam and his Royal Knights are forced to stay behind and be presumably killed by the corrupted Guardians as Link and Impa grab Zelda and flee for their lives. 
 
Meanwhile, Urbosa is attacked inside Vah Naboris by Thunderblight Ganon. She puts up a defiant resistance, but the Blight Ganon proves too quick, agile, and ferocious in its attacks to give Urbosa a chance to counterattack and soon she collapses to one knee in exhaustion and fatigue, but still remaining defiant in the face of her situation. Before she is slain like in the original timeline, Terrako, in Zelda's grief and guilt, is able to summon Riju and her sand seal Patricia from 100 years in the future in Breath of the Wild to arrive just in time to save Urbosa from Thunderblight Ganon, slamming into it from the flank, thus catching it by surprise, and buying time until Link arrives to destroy Thunderblight Ganon for good, keeping Vah Naboris under Urbosa's control and saving her life in the process. Before Link arrived, Riju was doubting she had been able to save Urbosa's life, but upon seeing Link had arrived, Urbosa assures Riju her efforts were not in vain before pointing out Link's arrival, raising Riju's spirits. 
 With Riju helping to clear the way to reach Vah Medoh while Urbosa recovers and resumes piloting Vah Naboris after opening up a wind current on Mount Rhoam to gain access to Vah Medoh with Vah Naboris' lightning, they help Link, Zelda, and Impa reach Vah Medoh and aid Revali and Teba against Windblight Ganon, scaring the Shard of Calamity Ganon off for the moment for the Rito pair to eliminate later with Vah Medoh while assaulting Ganon's forces with the Divine Beast's firepower. Afterwards, Urbosa thanks Zelda and the others for their help saving her and her Divine Beast from Thunderblight Ganon, and also thanking Riju for her help, though Riju assures Urbosa it was a team effort. When Revali shows some contempt and arrogance against Link for bailing his feathers out from being killed, Teba is shocked by Revali's true nature, but Urbosa cuts him off from saying something he might regret before asking Zelda about what happened at Hyrule Castle.
In a mission introduced in the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, Urbosa and Riju are tasked with taking their Gerudo vai warriors to defend the Science Academy when it is attacked by Ganon's monsters, backing up the Hyrulean troops struggling against both the monsters and Master Kohga with his Yiga Clan forces. After helping the Sheikah there, along with the Hyrulean Army, as everyone regroups afterwards, Urbosa voices how impressed she is with Riju's handling of the Thunder Helm as she has really gotten the hang of it. Just as Riju puts it on again and explains what she must do with it as Chieftain of the Gerudo, the Thunder Helm is snatched from her head by Master Kohga, who then attempts to slip it on over his own hair before taunting Urbosa over thinking her lightning would not affect him now. Urbosa proves him wrong when she snaps her fingers and shocks him, sending the Thunder Helm flying off him to be recovered by Riju. When Kohga asks how it did not protect him from being zapped, Urbosa snarls at him it would take him 100 years to master it and use it properly as Riju also grits her teeth angrily at him. Throwing a short temper tantrum, Kohga warns Urbosa and Riju that, even if it does take 100 years, he will get possession of the Thunder Helm, before retreating via a Yiga ninja smokescreen vanish, leaving the two Gerudo Chieftains to catch their breath.
Urbosa and Riju take Vah Naboris to defend Fort Hateno while Vah Ruta and Vah Rudania dealt with protecting Akkala Citadel, but though Urbosa gives some encouraging words to Riju before taking Vah Naboris into battle, they barely have time to catch their breath before a second fresh wave approaches and many of the monsters they destroyed revive as skeletal versions of themselves. Urbosa grows annoyed by the enemy's stubbornness, but a pep talk from Riju puts her back in a good mood.
Luckily for the two Gerudo chieftains, the other Divine Beasts soon arrive to reinforce them and fight off Ganon's forces, much to Urbosa and Riju's amusement at what kept them. Once Zelda awakens her holy power to protect Link from Astor and the revived Blight Ganons, Fort Hateno is finally saved from capitulation, and with both the Citadel and the Fort safe, Hyrule soon has the advantage when Purah activates a failsafe to shut down or destroy most of the corrupted Guardians, costing Ganon a huge chunk of his forces that razed Hyrule to the ground in the Breath of the Wild timeline. Without the Guardians, Ganon only has his monsters and a handful of corrupted automatons that were not wrecked by the failsafe left to reinforce his defenses, including Malice-infused and elemental versions of them, putting him at a huge disadvantage.
Also in the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, after King Rhoam and his Royal Guard escape death by the corrupted Guardians and evacuate Hyrule Castle, they set course for the Great Plateau and Temple of Time to regroup at the same time Link, Zelda, Impa, and Terrako are fleeing with support from the Hyrulean Army deployed on Lanayru Road to protect Zelda when she headed for Mount Lanayru to train at the Spring of Wisdom before Calamity Ganon's premature awakening interrupted the journey. However, fighting through so many of Ganon's top-ranked monsters has started to wane on Rhoam and his Royal Guard's stamina and strength. Luckily, just as a fresh wave of Ganon's monsters are seen advancing on the King and his men, Urbosa arrives with a battalion of fresh Gerudo vai warriors to defend the King and his men, refusing to let Hyrule's sovereign be slain as long as she was there to defend her late best friend's husband and Zelda's father. After they are able to regroup, Rhoam apologizes to Urbosa for causing her trouble, but Urbosa assures him that losing him would be a mortal blow to Hyrule's morale as Zelda is on her way to the Great Plateau as she's been looking for him, before explaining how much stronger she's become, to the point that she might have even grown stronger than her late mother and Rhoam's wife, the Queen of Hyrule. Hearing that, Rhoam smiles and thanks Urbosa before departing to the Temple of Time to wait for Zelda, while Urbosa mulls that Zelda's efforts have not been in vain.
With Zelda taking command of the remaining Hyrulean Soldiers at the Citadel and Fort after awakening her power granted to her by the Triforce and Hylia, they defend the Great Plateau, supported by a reformed Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan, where Zelda finds that her father, King Rhoam, and his Royal Knights are still alive thanks to an Ancient Guardian Shield that Zelda gave her father earlier that protected them from the Guardians and stunned the corrupted automatons, buying the King and his men time to withdraw to the Great Plateau before they recovered. They are able to soon unite the Gerudo, Rito, Zora, Gorons, and Yiga Clan Sheikah together thanks to Purah as a united Hyrule allied coalition, and under Zelda's leadership with a still-living King Rhoam and his Hyrulean Soldiers joining their cause, supported by the Divine Beasts and their still-alive Champions, they launch the full-scale assault to take back Hyrule Castle from Calamity Ganon. Ganon puts all hands-on deck to protect him, even gaining the advantage when the Blood Moon rises, allowing his power to reach its zenith and revive his fallen forces to restore his defenses, but the allied coalition pushes through and soon meets Astor and Harbinger Ganon face-to-face as one of Ganon's last lines of defense.
After defeating his Harbinger in that timeline's Terrako that had been corrupted by Calamity Ganon's Malice when it followed the future Terrako back in time, along with Astor and resurrected Blight Ganons, Calamity Ganon uses Astor as his conduit to assume a physical, and more human-like, form to fight the Champions, Zelda, and Link with, destroying his Harbinger in the process. However, he manages to infect Terrako with Malice, turning him against Link and Zelda, forcing them to fight him until they purge the Malice and reduce Terrako to a critcally-damaged state. Urbosa takes a moment to mourn with the other Champions before Zelda, fueled with rage and hatred towards Calamity Ganon, vows that his threat ends now. In the end, Terrako sacrifices himself to weaken Calamity Ganon enough for Link to deliver the finishing blow with the Master Sword and allow Zelda to seal Calamity Ganon away once and for all. With Calamity Ganon gone, Riju, Patricia, and the other future Champions are returned to their time period by the residual energy from the ancient screw left from Terrako's sacrifice, and with herself and the other Champions still alive, Urbosa and the others are happy to see their future looking bright, especially after they are able to rebuild Terrako and reunite him with Zelda once more.
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, in the secret ending, Urbosa joins Riju for a little sand seal surfing together, then joins everyone later on as they look at Terrako. Sometime after that, Urbosa, back in her Gerudo chieftain's skirt and crown, is with the other Champions atop of a Sheikah Tower as Impa asks Zelda about something she was about to do. Once Zelda confirms it, she and Terrako take off from the Sheikah Tower on her paraglider as they fly over Hyrule, now recovering well from the Great Calamity, with Zelda having gained some much-needed self-confidence from the war and having Terrako by her side for whatever the future has in store for her and Hyrule.
