Champions of Hyrule/Synopsis

The Synopsis of the Champions of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
==The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild==
The original Champions were each chosen by King Rhoam to pilot a Divine Beast as back up for Link and Princess Zelda while they fight Ganon head on to prevent them from becoming overwhelmed in battle. 
Princess Zelda arrives at the Flight Range where she sees Revali struggling to perfect a skill that would benefit him in the coming battle: a powerful updraft that would take him to the air as the Rito can only fly forwards, but never up. After his fall, he beats himself up over it before noticing the watching princess, whom he calls her out. She apologizes as Revali gets straight to the point where he accepts her proposition to be the Rito Champion who pilots Divine Beast Vah Medoh. Zelda was about to thank him before he interrupts her and goes for another try, this time mastering it as he proceeds to shoot all of the targets before the watching eyes of the amazed princess. After that, Revali states that he knows that he plays a supporting role to a certain Hylian knight and adds that if he lost confidence as a result of seeing him in action, she should not come crying to him. 
Next, Princess Zelda heads to Death Mountain to inquire Daruk's assistance through rising to Champion status who controls Divine Beast Vah Rudania, and he immediately accepts and reminds her that she should not go out and about without the might of the Gorons to watch her back. The princess replies that he sounds like her own father and adds that he's appointing a knight who will accompany her during her travels. Daruk realized that she is talking about Link, whom he also met at an earlier time before he witnesses some Bokoblins attacking someone and immediately goes into action, single-handedly defeating them and sending them on the run, calling them spineless little Cuccos. As he laughs triumphantly, Princess Zelda sees the victim and assures that it's fine and Daruk soon trembles at the very creature that he dreads the most: a Hylian Retriever. As the dog leaves, Daruk reminds it to say safe and apologized for her having to see this side of him and recounts that dogs had chased him as a child and that fear still holds up even to now and audibly seeks reassurance that Calamity Ganon isn't a canine monster, before they let out a laugh. 
Then, Zelda heads to Zora's Domain to meet with its local princess, Mipha to become the Champion of Divine Beast Vah Ruta; who asks her of the other Champions. Zelda states their names, Revali, Daruk, and Urbosa but she could not bring herself to mention Link's name, though Mipha who had already knew who it was as they have interacted in the past. She sees Sidon down below and calls him up. Zelda tells him that he might still be a bit too young, though Mipha insists that she will eventually leave him to face her fate with Ruta as she surfs her way down and has him ride on her back and takes him up the waterfall to help him get the feel of it. Upon reaching the top, she initiates a serious conversation with him that if anything happened to her, he must protect Zora's Domain with his life. She adds that she believes in him and asks if he would like to go one more time, which Sidon responds with a grin, prompting a giggle from the Zora Princess. 
Finally, at sundown where the temperature is more tolerable in Gerudo Desert, Princess Zelda and her maids enter Gerudo Town to speak to Urbosa for her to become the pilot of Divine Beast Vah Naboris. Urbosa accepts it immediately due to the Yiga Clan, a Calamity Ganon worshipping cult, wanting to resurrect the beast but they're after her precious heirloom, the Thunder Helm and won't rest until the Calamity falls and the Princess thanks her on behalf of Hyrule and the king. Later that night, Princess Zelda notes that she's never seen her this serious and Urbosa replies that she could not say the same and adds that she rarely smiled ten years and addresses her as "little bird". The princess wonders why she calls her that, before she noticed that Urbosa stopped once suspecting two individuals walking in the opposite direction and tells them to stop. Addressing them as traitors, she prefers to fight her enemies head on and dares them to come at her. The two travelers reveal themselves to be Yiga footsoldiers as they engage in battle with her, but they were no match for the Gerudo Chieftain. One of them attempts to strike from behind, only to be shocked by her. Out of respect, she spares their lives and tells them to leave. Once they vanish, she gets back to the subject on her calling Zelda "little bird" and recounts that her late best friend had always called her that since the day she was born, which the princess realized that she is talking about her own mother, the Queen of Hyrule. Urbosa goes on to say that the queen's "little bird" still spread her wings to become Hyrule's beacon of hope and adds that she herself sometimes gets lost in time.
Each Champion is required to pass three tests in their trial to prove that they are worthy of taming the Divine Beasts; Mipha's trial has her swimming in Lanayru Sea to reach the glowing ring during the sunrise, battling Guardians at Upland Zorana, and passing through the glowing rings while swimming up the water in between Mikau Lake and Lulu Lake. Daruk's trial has him battle the Igneo Talus Titan, passing through the glowing rings on his way down from Death Mountain, and jumping into the glowing ring at Darb Pond. Revali's trial has him shooting the flame dragon, Dinraal's horn, flying through the glowing rings in the snowy peaks of Hebra, and shooting four targets in quick succession. Urbosa's trial has her battling the Molduking, surfing through the desert sands to pass through the glowing rings, and throwing the sacred orb into the pit at the Yiga Clan Hideout.
The Champions are assembled at Hyrule Castle where they were each given their blue cloths meaning that had to swap out some pieces of their garments; Mipha and Daruk wearing them as sashes while Revali wears it like a scarf and Urbosa wearing her skirt. King Rhoam gives them a speech during the ceremony of their inauguration and charges Zelda to take command of these appointed warriors. After the ritual, The Champions take a break outside where Daruk voices that special occasions can be draining. Revali takes interest in the Sheikah Slate and takes it from Zelda's hands as she explains its uses while still trying to uncover its secrets. He then passes it to Mipha to let her have a look and Urbosa states that the slate is capable of producing still images, which Mipha is immediately on board over and asks for Zelda's help on this. Purah then sets up a photoshoot where she tells some members to get into position. When she likes what she sees, she snaps the photo though Daruk pulls everyone in at the last-minute resulting in a hilarious result.
Later, Daruk suggests that Link should have his own personal ceremony where he is appointed as Zelda's personal knight. During the ceremony however, Princess Zelda's tone during her speech wasn't as strong or determined as Rhoam's was and the Champions looked bored and disappointed by the despondent atmosphere. As Daruk was disenchanted by this, Revali harshly reminds him that it was his idea in the first place though he agrees with him on it being overkill and believes that he's on the same boat as the princess in regard to Link. Urbosa tells him to zip it as she gives her insight that Zelda sees Link as a reminder of her own failures, given that Link is not only an accomplished swordsman, but he also managed to acquire the legendary Master Sword. Zelda on the other hand still has yet to achieve her own goals: accessing her sealing magic needed to ensure that Ganon falls.
During Link's journeys with the princess, he encounters each of the Champions in their respective region, starting with Rito Village. While Princess Zelda is speaking with the Rito elder, Link meets with Revali who shows off his skill dubbed Revali's Gale to him. He proceeds to brag about his impressive skill that he mastered that allowed him to soar at any given time and coupled with his marksmanship, they could easily dispense with Ganon. He then paces around Link as he goes on to express his distaste over the fact that as skilled as he is with the bow and flying techniques, he feels as though his talents are only to be used to merely assist him because he has the Master Sword on his back, dubbing it "asinine". He then challenges Link to a one-on-one duel and wonders where they could have it, then suggests Vah Medoh which happens to be high in the sky. He chuckles as he adds that he has no way of making it to Medoh on his own and flies off to Medoh as he taunts the Hylian knight.
Goron City is visited next as Link meets with Daruk again, who clearly has trouble controlling Vah Rudania and Link responds by pushing him onto the Divine Beast and joins him. Daruk managed to get better at it and takes the time to admire the scenery around them as they ride through the canyons and remarks that his race including himself loves rocks with a passion and despite not knowing much about the Calamity Ganon subject, he vows to protect Hyrule to the death and slaps Link on the back, making him jump forward due to Daruk's sheer strength and size. He then congratulates Link on his appointment and states that it's always an honor to protect a member of the Royal Family before stopping himself as to not pressure Link too much on his responsibility. He goes on the topic that Princess Zelda, despite her strong personality, has a very tough time seeing beyond the peaks before the ground rumbles, causing a giant boulder to roll in their direction and Daruk reacts by generating a red barrier, causing it to crumble on impact. Daruk tries to get back to the subject but is unable to due to Death Mountain's recent activity, after being dormant for a few decades, has now been sending larger boulders. He dismisses it and tells Link to forget he said anything, though he stayed worried about these events.
After Princess Zelda starts avoiding Link more and more, to the point where she took advantage of the law that disallowed males from entering Gerudo Town, he inquires Urbosa's help, and she teaches him a trick to bypass the guards and later lets him know of Zelda's location: Divine Beast Vah Naboris. As Link arrived, Urbosa isn't too surprised to see him so quickly as she goes on to say that her survey on Naboris had taken a toll on her and went to sleep alongside her. She then explains about Zelda's problems with her fulfilling her duties and was dedicated to unlocking her power, once even to the point where she passed out in the freezing water during one of her training sessions. She is aware that he and the princess haven't been getting along very well and is also aware of his own problems regarding his responsibilities that he has to put up with. She is sympathetic of Zelda, and she had been working hard while adding that she is special and reminds Link that it's an honor to protect this member of the Royal Family. When the temperature began to fall, Urbosa thought about taking her in, but she has something else in mind as she snaps her fingers to call forth lightning, scaring the princess awake and finds Link present and wanted to know what he's doing there, which Urbosa bursts out laughing leaving the princess in further confusion. Eventually, Link is able to save Princess Zelda when she was almost killed by the Yiga Clan in his absence and since then, Zelda's attitude and opinions on him has changed drastically and she eventually learned that he is going through a tough time coping with his chosen hero status and being silent is how he handles the heavy burdens of this reality.
After Link had suffered a wound from one of his latest battles, he pays a visit to Zora's Domain without Zelda at his side, where Mipha invites him to Divine Beast Vah Ruta where they sit on its trunk as they begin their conversation. She uses her healing magic to treat Link's injury on his arm and she recalls her first meeting with him when he was only a four-year-old kid who was known to have bested adults at a young age yet was very much reckless to which he often suffered cuts and bruises during his duels. She adds that Hylians like him age at a much faster rate than her longer living tribe and moves on to the subject on the upcoming battle against Calamity Ganon and makes frequent promises to heal his wounds no matter how bad they are, and when they do make it through to the end, she has hopes that she would spend more time with him. As her crush on Link was clear, she has trouble admitting her feelings to him.
Later, the Champions are seen together as they wait at the gate near Mt Lanayru for Link and Princess Zelda to return from the latter's training at the Spring of Wisdom in hopes that it would at least spark her power. Sadly, she had no such results, and the Champions are disheartened by the news. Urbosa tells her that she should move on and pitying herself won't help with anything and goes on to add that anything would bring her power to the surface at this point. Mipha speaks up and attempts to give her advice regarding her own power despite being unable to find the words. They are soon interrupted by a sudden quake and Revali flies up to investigate the occurrence and to his horror, he witnesses Calamity Ganon rising from Hyrule Castle and rejoins the group. When asked by Mipha if he is sure, Revali tells her that, he's positive. Daruk rallies the Champions to get to their positions to launch a counterattack and Link to head to Hyrule Castle, while Urbosa insists to Zelda that she must find refuge, but the princess refused, telling her that power or none, she has to do something. 
The routes that the Champions took has Mipha swimming through the Lanayru Wetlands and up Zora's River to reach Divine Beast Vah Ruta, Daruk breaching his way through the Lanayru Wetlands and rolling his way through Ternio Trail and Mountain Road that leads to Death Mountain to get to Divine Beast Vah Rudania, Revali using his gale to soar into the sky and fly to Divine Beast Vah Medoh, and Urbosa running along the southern edges of Hyrule Field and goes through Gerudo Canyon and makes her way up to Divine Beast Vah Naboris. When the Champions arrived at their assigned beasts, they saw that they have been taken over by the Blight Ganons. Despite being quickly sealed inside their Divine Beasts and their best efforts to fight back, they ended up losing their lives while doing so. King Rhoam was also killed in action. Because of the huge surge of the now corrupted Guardians, Link was badly wounded trying to protect the princess with his life. When the Guardian aims at them, Zelda steps between them and her power activates, purifying the Guardians and shutting them down while Link collapses and slips into a coma. The voice in the Master Sword instructs the princess on what to do next and when two Sheikah soldiers arrived, she urges them to get Link to the Shrine of Resurrection immediately. She also leaves the Sheikah Slate at the pedestal, gives Robbie, Purah, and Impa a message to give to Link, and returns the Master Sword to the pedestal at Korok Forest for the Great Deku Tree to watch over and uses her power to seal Ganon and herself for over the course of the century. As a result, the Divine Beasts went dormant for a very long time. The Champions' tribes have provided memorials for them, a statue and the Champions' Festival to honor Mipha, a mountainous monument to honor Daruk, a platform named to honor Revali, and the Thunder Helm to honor Urbosa. These artifacts and landmarks were the key to restoring Link's memories of the Champions before proceeding with the battle with the Divine Beasts.
After Link emerges from the Shrine of Resurrection, he is reduced to an amnesiac but is noticeably more expressive and light-hearted than he was previously. Princess Zelda telepathically contacts Link periodically throughout his adventure, and he is also guided by an old man who teaches Link to survive and to reach the four Shrines. He reveals himself to be King Rhoam who was once the ruler of Hyrule and tells Link the tragic story of how Hyrule had been reduced to ashes by Calamity Ganon and gives him the paraglider before fading away. After speaking with Impa at Kakariko Village, Link heads to the four regions that housed the Divine Beasts, each have reactivated and caused grief to their respective tribes. 
At Zora's River, the fully grown Sidon, the only heir to the throne left, who is now the crown prince of the Zoras tells Link of Vah Ruta's creating of endless rain that threatens not only the domain, but also Hyrule as well which the Rutela Dam will eventually break if nothing is done about it, and it was too risky for a Zora to use Shock Arrows as electricity was their critical weakness and guides Link to the domain where he meets with King Dorephan and Muzu. The former allows Link to use the Zora Armor while the latter is reluctant to let Link help due to his prejudice against Hylians which worsened after Mipha fell in battle, it was only when Sidon convinces him that the Zora Armor was meant for Link and that Mipha had loved him, that he cooperates by telling him to find the Shock Arrows at Ploymus Rock where a dangerous Lynel dwelt. Once he gains enough of them, he joins Sidon on East Reservoir Lake and with their teamwork, they managed to shut down Vah Ruta's water pumps. Upon entering, Mipha senses Link's presence and guides him to the Guidance Stone to gain Vah Ruta's interior map and tells him to activate the terminals that will allow him to activate the Main Control Unit. Waterblight Ganon appears and Mipha tells him that it was responsible for her death and urges him to get rid of it, and after Link defeats it in battle, Mipha appears before Link and thanks him for returning Vah Ruta to her control and grants him Mipha's Grace as a reward. She nearly loses hope of gaining freedom the day before, but with Link being here, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore and sends him on his way. After getting Vah Ruta into position, Mipha wonders how her father and brother are faring without her and longs to see them one last time. Link meets with Sidon at the domain and gives the population the news that Vah Ruta won't bother them anymore and even Muzu gained a better view on Hylians and reconciles with Link for his dismissiveness earlier.
At Goron City, Divine Beast Vah Rudania caused eruptions that interfered with mining work, and it caused the Northern Mines to close down due to higher lava flows. Bludo and Yunobo often fought it back to keep it at bay, though it keeps on returning and he raises the bridge to keep it trapped in one spot. He meets with Bludo, who is suffering back pain and wonders where his apprentice, Yunobo went as he never came back when he went out to get his painkillers. During his investigation, Link hears Yunobo's cries for help, having been trapped in the storage after a rockslide blocked the entrance. With a cannon, he managed to break open the entrance and while Yunobo was initially scared of Link, he realized that he's harmless and heads back to the city to deliver the painkillers. They were about to set off to Vah Rudania, but Bludo's back pain gets the best of him and had to call it off. However, Link isn't willing to wait and after fighting the monsters harassing Yunobo, he tells him the news that Bludo cannot join them and his own intentions on proceeding with the mission anyway. After lowering the bridge, Vah Rudania summons sentries to hinder them, but with their teamwork, they managed to force Rudania into the crator and Link gets on to it. 
 Daruk acknowledges Link's presence and gives him instructions to the Guidance Stone to make exploration of Rudania's interiors easier and to find the terminals so he can activate the Main Control Unit. Fireblight Ganon appears, and Daruk explains that it defeated him earlier and rallies him to defeat it for good. After Fireblight was defeated, Daruk appears to Link to thank him for taking Rudania back and gives him Daruk's Protection as a reward for his efforts. After sending Link away, Daruk positions Rudania at the mountain's summit to aim at Hyrule Castle and he is nostalgic as he admires the scenery and wonders how the Gorons are faring since the attack and finds Yunobo staring up at him. Daruk does a fist pump at the revalation that they managed to make it through okay and Yunobo waves up to him. Later, Link meets with Yunobo, who is notably braver and happier and with Bludo who learned that they permanently solved the problem with the Divine Beast.
At Rito Village, Divine Beast Vah Medoh was flying around the village, causing unstable winds and shooting at any Rito that flew near it forcing them to resort to walking to avoid being attacked. Earlier, having disregarded the warnings from the elder, Kaneli, Teba and Harth faced off against it, but it ended badly when the latter had his wing injured in the skirmish and Teba escapes unharmed to prepare for another assault. Link arrives where he learns from Kaneli of their dilemma involving the Divine Beast. Teba's wife Saki overhears the conversation and directs Link to the Flight Range where her husband is found. As Link travels there, Teba sees Link approaching him and makes it clear that he doesn't plan on returning until Vah Medoh is stopped and is cold and dismissive towards him, though he decides to put him to the test though aerial archery target practice when he sees that Link is persistent. With a bow and paraglider, Link managed to pass the test with flying colors and Teba starts to warm up to him and lets him ride on his back to fight Vah Medoh. Teba distracted the cannons while Link blasts them with Bomb Arrows and once they were destroyed, the barrier drops to permit entry, though Teba is injured in the leg and returns to the Flight Range while Link takes care of Medoh. Revali catches on to Link's presence and directs him to the Guidance Stone to make it easier to traverse the interiors of Medoh while activating the terminals to access the Main Control Unit. Windblight Ganon appears and Revali tells him that it had played dirty when it ended his life and implores Link to avenge him once and for all. After the demon was destroyed, Revali appears to Link where he gives his gratitude for returning Vah Medoh back to his command and rewards him with Revali's Gale before sending him on his way. After getting Medoh into position and setting sights on Hyrule Castle, Revali reflects that he had been patient the entire time over the years and that even without wings, Link still managed to prove himself worthy where he was able to accomplish a feat which even, he couldn't and hopes that his luck holds out for everyone's sake. Link arrives at Rito Village where Teba and Harth had recovered from their injuries and informed him that Medoh has permanently calmed and Teba proceeds to take his only son Tulin to the Flight Range.
In Gerudo Desert, Divine Beast Vah Naboris wanders the desert, creating electric sandstorms that strikes anyone entering its territory. Link is unable to enter its town due to a law that only allows females in town while forbidding males from being allowed inside. With the help of Vilia who sells him traditional Gerudo women's clothes set, Link is able to sneak in without being halted or apprehended. He enters the throne room of the current Gerudo Chief, Riju who is accompanied by her bodyguard, Buliara. After Link introduces himself, Riju and Buliara connect the dots and find out that he is a man in disguise, but since he was a close friend of Urbosa, they're willing to let it slide as long as he keeps the disguise on. Riju goes on to explain the current situation with Naboris and how it will eventually threaten the town if it wandered to it. As much as Riju was willing to help Link reach the Divine Beast, she isn't able to do so as her heirloom, the Thunder Helm had been stolen by the Yiga Clan while she and Buliara are away on the investigation of Naboris's recent activity and inquire of Link to retrieve it, which Link accepts. After Link breaches the Yiga Clan Hideout and defeats Master Kohga, who falls to his death, he recovers the Thunder Helm and returns it to Riju who thanks him for his help, and she can now team up with Link to shut down Vah Naboris since the Thunder Helm was the key to protecting them from its electrical strikes. After blasting Naboris's feet with Bomb Arrows and causing it to disable, Link managed to get inside where Urbosa acknowledges Link's presence and directs him to the Guidance Stone to gain the map of Naboris's interiors so that he can locate the terminals that activate the Main Control Unit. Thunderblight Ganon appears as Urbosa explains that it was responsible for her demise and tells Link to fight for his life and its death. After the battle, Urbosa appears to thank Link for giving control back to her and grants him Urbosa's Fury as a reward for his deeds and tells him to let Zelda know that she shouldn't carry the blame for her death or the other Champions and she's proud of her and tells him to take care of her and Hyrule before sending him out as she takes Naboris to a new location to aim at Hyrule Castle. Urbosa reveals that she harbors a deep hatred of Calamity Ganon as it once took on the form of a Gerudo and left a black mark on her kindred, while she reveres Nabooru as her hero and Naboris was named after her and looks forward to taking it personally. With all four Divine Beasts freed, Princess Zelda thanks Link for helping the souls of the Champions bring them back to Hyrule's side. Link returns to Impa to report of his success and gives her peace of mind that the Champions, despite the circumstances they were put through, never gave up hope and willing to keep fighting for Hyrule.
When Link enters the castle's sanctum, Calamity Ganon breaks free of Zelda's power, and they tumble to the room below. Seeing this, Revali warns Ganon that he is getting his revenge on it and opens fire, Mipha sees it as their final opportunity and refuses to fail this time as she fires Ruta's laser, Daruk tells Ganon to open up wide as he commences fire, and Urbosa assures Zelda that their moment has finally come as she launches her attack, which weaken Ganon considerably. After Link wounds Dark Beast Ganon with Light Arrows, Zelda breaks free she proceeds to destroy Ganon, restoring peace to Hyrule. The Champions and King Rhoam float above the newly freed Hyrule Castle as they silently bid farewell to Link and the princess before they cross over into the afterlife, leaving them to start Hyrule's reconstruction.
==The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom==
While the original Champions do not physically appear in the game, they do make a cameo appearance in the form of the Picture of the Champions hanging on the wall of Zelda’s house in Hateno Village if the player has a completed The Champions' Ballad in their saved file from Breath of the Wild.
==Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity==
As Princess Zelda was successful in awakening her power to protect Link from the looming Guardian, she wasn't aware that she had also reactivated a tiny Diminutive Guardian named Terrako stuck inside the box and managed to roll out of it and bore witness to the chaos that was ensuing and caught on to Zelda's wishes to protect everyone. Knowing what it must do, Terrako uses its own power to create the Gate of Time, but it was spotted by a corrupted Guardian and attempts to shoot it down, though Terrako barely managed to avoid its laser and escaped. It was unaware that the Malice leaked from the attacking Guardian and followed it through, thus beginning the conflict of Hyrule's ultimate fate.
After Terrako emerges to the time where Hyrule is preparing for Ganon's eventual return, the Malice possesses its other version dubbed Harbinger Ganon and it sets off to ensure Hyrule's fate is never changed. When Terrako was taken to the Royal Ancient Lab after it activated the Sheikah Slate and makes one of the Sheikah Towers rise which forced the Bokoblins that pursued Impa to retreat, it revealed the horrific outcome of what they're in for if they don't do something. Despite being disturbed by what she saw, Princess Zelda was determined to turn this around.
The heroes venture to Zora's Domain to speak with King Dorephan to inquire of his daughter Mipha to pilot Divine Beast Vah Ruta, though as much as he knows of the danger that would be present, he turns her down as to not put her in danger. At the same time, Link meets with Mipha, who's happy to see Link again after a long time and she sees Terrako accompanying him, and she quickly gushes at how cute it was. The meeting was short-lived when the Zora Captain warns them of an attack by an army of monsters and thought her brother Sidon was with her. Mipha deduced that Sidon is missing and tells him to watch over the domain while she searches with Link to find Sidon. After helping the other captains defend their outposts from the monsters including the electrical types, Mipha learns that Sidon is found on Ploymus Rock unattended by any adults, and she makes her way there and saw her brother pointing a spear at a Lynel and with the help of Link, Impa, and the princess they managed to chase it off. Mipha reunites with Sidon and lightly admonishes him for making her and the tribe worried, but she praises him for his courage, prompting a grin from Sidon though it doesn't last long as she witnessed enemy reinforcements making their way into the domain and Terrako has the Sheikah Slate produce an image of Vah Ruta. Mipha takes control and opens fire on an electric Moblin who's about to kill her father and with the Divine Beast at her side she managed to obliterate the monsters that were forced to retreat. After the battle, King Dorephan realized that they might not be as prepared as he thought, and he allows Mipha to become the Zora Champion of Divine Beast Vah Ruta on the condition that she returns home unscathed.
Next, they head to Goron City in Death Mountain where they meet with Daruk to ask for his assistance. Daruk assures them that he never turns down a sincere request of his friends, but he notes that Divine Beast Vah Rudania is in an inconvenient spot which is at the center of the crator in Death Mountain and bravest and the boldest can make their way up. Despite this, Daruk motivates them to climb their way to the mountain summit and they are met with an army of monsters that invade the Goron Mines and disrupting the mining industry whom they fought to defend it from falling and once they reach the peak of Death Mountain, Daruk excitedly boards Vah Rudania as he ramps through the mountains and forcing the monstrous forces to retreat and brought them to annihilation. After the battle Daruk officially accepts his call to become the Goron Champion of Divine Beast Vah Rudania and he deduces that Link must be starving after their battle and gives him a Prime Rock Roast, which Link digs in surprisingly without complaint and to the shock of Zelda and Impa which Daruk apologized for not providing enough and promises them that he will remember next time.
Then, Link and Terrako struggle through a blizzard on their way to Rito Village to find a warrior who will pilot Divine Beast Vah Medoh, and they are observed by the Rito soldiers, and they fly off to alert Revali, who orders them to take action. Revali then swears on his life that as long as he's here, they won't be coming any closer. Link, Impa, and Terrako come under attack by the Rito soldiers who believe that they are invaders and one of the Rito captains manages to destroy the bridge to deny entry into the village which forced the group to take a detour. After they get past some of the captains, they are confronted by the Rito commander himself who gets into a duel with Link and managed to effortlessly disarm Link of his shield with a flying kick and used Bomb Arrows to create a smokescreen to catch Link by surprise. When Revali was about to shoot Link's unprotected back and the Hylian about to slash the Rito Warrior, Princess Zelda managed to arrive on time to cease their conflict. With everyone now calmed down, Revali explains that a similar Guardian like Terrako had repeatedly attacked his village through sending monsters and he and his countrymen had barely managed to hold them back. Since then, they had been on high alert for Guardian activity. Princess Zelda was grateful that neither of them were badly harmed while Impa is intrigued about the existence of another Diminutive Guardian like Terrako which Princess Zelda states that they should come with a strategy. Revali tells them that he will oblige to becoming the Rito Champion of Divine Beast Vah Medoh but he is still clearly unsure about Link and asks if she is sure he has what it takes to handle Ganon. Terrako chimes in, startling everyone and Impa deduces that Terrako is calling itself a knight to Zelda as well, causing Revali to scoff it off.
After that, Link, Terrako, Impa, and Princess Zelda head to Gerudo Desert to ask for Urbosa to become Divine Beast Vah Naboris's pilot, but they are suddenly pursued by Gerudo vai soldiers leaving the princess to wonder why their allies are behaving this way and they must fight their way through them to reach Gerudo Town and speak to Urbosa in hopes of getting an explanation. Upon entering they are completely surrounded by the guards as "Urbosa" attempts to attack the princess addressing her as "Princess Zelda", but then another Urbosa appears and shocks the other one. To clear the confusion that there are two existing Urbosas, the one that saved the group addressed Zelda as "Little Bird" as the late Queen of Hyrule had once called her, cementing herself as the real deal. The imposter gets up and reveals himself to be Master Kohga, the top banana of the Yiga Clan and he orders them to attack while he retreats to a safe distance. The heroes were able to kick them out of town and catch the attention of the neighboring Molduga to scare them off and managed to corner Kohga at the encampment. Then his right-hand man Sooga appears to take him out of the battle. With the Yiga Clan gone for a time being, Urbosa explains the history of the Yiga Clan as Sheikah traitors who have turned their backs on Hyrule and worshipped Calamity Ganon and plan to resurrect him, and because of that she willingly accepts her proposition to become the Gerudo Champion of Divine Beast Vah Naboris for Zelda's mother's sake.
With the Champions assembled, they join up with Link and Princess Zelda as they travel to calibrate the Divine Beasts to allow for easier control and maneuver. Mipha and Daruk start a conversation about training to better handle stronger enemies and they are still wondering who will be wielding the sword that seals the darkness. They are soon ambushed by the Yiga Clan under Sooga's command and intends to take Princess Zelda's life, Link takes the princess and takes shelter inside the building while the Champions take on the Yiga Clan and several monsters and make their way north and managed to capture their stronghold. However, it was revealed to be a diversion as Sooga took advantage of their absence to start a fire to force both Link and Zelda into the open. Link duels Sooga before he vanishes and attempts to throw three kunai at Zelda, but Terrako jumps in front of her to take the blow in her stead, but Link shoves it away to block them with his shield. Seeing whom they are up against, Sooga orders the Yiga Clan to leave. Terrako is visibly miffed at Link for stealing its moment as the Champions return, chuckling in amusement.
King Rhoam then sends the Champions to Korok Forest to retrieve the Master Sword and find a knight who will wield it. They arrive just outside the forest where it was plagued by powerful monsters, which Revali doesn't hesitate to step in and was honored to do his part. However, he takes his anger out on Link and severely questions his leadership, which Daruk reminds him that whoever's their leader doesn't matter and their dealing with the imminent threat. Revali dismisses him, insisting that his Divine Beast is the key to their victory and returns to throwing more insults at Link until Urbosa finally calls him out. He then summons Divine Beast Vah Medoh and under his command, he was able to destroy the worst of the monsters before he lets them know that it was okay to proceed and rejoins them. During their expedition, Mipha notes on how misty the forest is, and Revali goes on a rant on their progress and could be likely going in circles, then Daruk suggests that he should fly up and scout the way, which miffs Revali even more since even then he still could not see anything and asks if he ever thinks before speaking. Urbosa assures them that getting lost is nothing to worry about, but rather the possibility of an ambush, and Zelda is in agreement that they should keep an eye out for the most unusual events, though she does end up finding an unusual sight: a giant Korok named Hestu, trying desperately to get their attention the whole time. Hestu introduces himself as a seasoned musician who lives in the forest, and Daruk gets his hopes up that Hestu would lead them to the forest clearing, but the Korok becomes worried about the recent monster infestation and fears being attacked by them. Revali makes a remark that he can sneak by if he didn't have his maracas on him. Urbosa tells Hestu not to mind him and offers to kill the monsters for him which Hestu then happily complies to their earlier request. Throughout their journey, they notice strange appearances of Malice blocking the way that is maintained by the dark replicas of the Champions called the Hollows, created by the mysterious seer named Astor, who seeks to halt their progress and destroying them caused the Malice to vanish. Link and Princess Zelda enter the clearing, but they find Astor waiting for them and recreates the four Hollows again and they quickly overwhelm Link and managed to break his sword and the seer orders them to exterminate the princess. The light shines brightly from the Master Sword and stuns the Hollows long enough for Link to pull it from the pedestal and managed to easily dispel them and Astor then gets into the battle to deal with him, but the Blade of Evil's Bane proved to be too much for him as he is forced to withdraw from the area. The Champions managed to catch up to them as the Great Deku Tree wakes up and tells them that they are prepared for what is to come and notices Princess Zelda looking from Link's sword to her hand and assures her that her power will come. Despite this, the princess isn't slightly convinced as reality starts to kick in on her.
On their journey back to Hyrule Castle, Princess Zelda's fears of not accessing her powers start getting the best of her. Responding to her distress, Terrako begins to play Zelda's Lullaby, causing her to recall it playing that song for her every night when she was very young. It was cut short when they suddenly find themselves dealing with a siege on Hyrule Castle, and they fortunately managed to put an end to it. The princess could only stare at Link seeing that he succeeded at something while she never did. Urbosa catches on and gives her reassurance that Link is still no different from her, legendary blade or none at all, and gives her a pep talk to put her in a better mood for a time being. The Champions have their inauguration ceremony at Hyrule Castle where they are given their blue cloths with their assigned Divine Beast symbols on them meaning that they would have to switch out some of their garments; Mipha and Daruk wore theirs as sashes, while Revali sports his like a scarf, and Urbosa dons hers into a skirt. 
 
After the ceremony passes, they spend time outside to rest from their battles for a while and Impa mulls that they have everything they need to stop Calamity Ganon. To her displeasure, Terrako tries to get in on the conversation and tries to lecture it, only for Terrako to swat it away multiple times to the point where she starts chasing it. Mipha reminds Daruk on their earlier discussion on training which Daruk obliges. Grateful, Mipha nearly let's slip on her intentions to be stronger so she can fight at Link's side, right in front of him no less, as he caught onto the conversation and approaches her, causing her to panic and tries to deny it, but then Impa and Terrako's scuffle cuts them off as they start to invade Revali's personal space, much to his annoyance and tells him to take it somewhere else, but they were so absorbed in their fight that they didn't notice how upset he was and Revali finally had enough of their childish behavior and angrily flew away to regain his sanity.
As the Champions were able to activate the Sheikah Towers, there was only one left which is in the Akkala region. Urbosa alone joins Link, Purah, and Zelda on their way to Akkala to activate it. However, Sooga and his Yiga Clan forces managed to catch on to their intentions and took over Akkala Citadel to prevent them from activating the Sheikah Tower that could expose their hideout and Sooga had left various roadblocks to give them a harder time. Regardless, the team managed force them out so they can get the last Sheikah Tower online. Purah shows them that the towers are capable of providing its regional maps to the Sheikah Slate; Urbosa is intrigued by this and takes full advantage of this knowledge to find out where the Yiga Clan are dwelling so they can finally put a stop to their meddling. With Vah Naboris at her disposal, Urbosa takes managed to break her way through hundreds of Yiga Footsoldiers to reach the entrance which requires that she exits and joins the party on their follow-up assault on within the hideout and managed to defeat the confronting Master Kohga and Sooga at the arena. After that, the Champions would head home to prepare for Ganon's imminent return as it was later revealed that this event will occur on Princess Zelda's seventeenth birthday.
On the day Calamity Ganon returned, the Champions witnessed Hyrule Castle being surrounded by Malice from their Sheikah Towers, Daruk just returns to think of a good spot for Vah Rudania when he heard a rumble, and he is outright horrified at the sight, Mipha is also taken by surprise by the events, Urbosa mulls over how sudden it happened, and Revali was initially calm and stoic, while acknowledging how extremely bad it was until the ground rumbles, startling him as he watches the Sheikah Towers across Hyrule lose energy. After Link and Princess Zelda leave the castle after King Rhoam was presumably slain by the recently corrupted Guardians. As the princess despairs over these events and the images shown in the Sheikah Slate of the Divine Beasts being attacked by Ganon and the Champions potentially about to die while inside them, Terrako plays her lullaby and summons four Gates of Time which they soar to the Divine Beasts: Vah Medoh in particular still has its blue circuitry which indicates that Revali is still hanging on for dear life but the trailing Malice from its wing shows that he is imperiled and the same is said for the other Champions. Despite this, Impa believes that there is still hope in being able to save them before it's too late and they head out to save them from their impending deaths and their Divine Beasts from falling under total control by Ganon and begin the rescue operation.
Daruk engages in battle with an unwelcome guest, who is Fireblight Ganon and as he fends for himself, he blocks its attacks with Daruk's Protection and refuses to fall easily and Mipha is in a battle with Waterblight Ganon, who had the water frozen to put her at a disadvantage as she was tired and shivering from the cold. Fireblight was able to stun Daruk by shattering his barrier and tosses a large fiery rock at him and Waterblight Ganon charges at Mipha with a swinging flail and Cryonic formations and hurls them at her. Just before it was all over for them, the Gates of Time appear and Sidon emerges by blocking off Waterblight's attacks before they could reach Mipha, refusing to lose her again, to Mipha's shock to see an older Sidon. Meanwhile, Yunobo emerges and uses his Daruk's Protection to protect his ancestor which Daruk is surprised that another Goron has this ability, but Yunobo assures him that he's here for him. Sidon's support to Mipha had given Link and the others enough time to arrive at the scene and were able to destroy Waterblight Ganon before either Mipha or Sidon could be harmed. 
 
Without any further danger in Vah Ruta and Mipha being fatigued, Sidon joins them to help them slay the Igneo Talus that was causing the lava flows so they can proceed and reach Vah Rudania where Daruk and Yunobo are struggling, and Daruk coaxes the trembling youngster into recalling his purpose here which was then that Link and his friends reach them, and they were able to vanquish Fireblight Ganon before Daruk or Yunobo could be slain. After the battle, Daruk thanks Link for pulling through for him and thanks Yunobo for saving his hide. Mipha and Sidon also arrive on Vah Rudania where the former questions Sidon if he actually was her brother and the latter states so and he cautiously explains that he came from the future, which Daruk laughs off before he solemnly asks Princess Zelda about Hyrule Castle's fate. After learning all this, Daruk and Yunobo team up on Vah Rudania to take out the surge of Guardians invading East Hyrule and went further to destroy the bridges to prevent reinforcements from crossing over while defending the allied stronghold and bringing down the nearby enemy stronghold, securing the area.
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, after the fight, Mipha and Sidon went out to aid the Zora Soldiers in protecting Goponga Village from a swarm of Ganon's monsters that were invading it. When the battle is lightening up a bit, Sidon gives orders to the still combat-effective soldiers while the wounded ones are being taken care of by Mipha. As more monsters appeared with Sidon and the other healthy combatants dealing with them, an Electric Moblin slips past them as it starts to close in on the Zora Champion. Her own younger Sidon appears with a spear in hand as he steps between the two of them, with a panicked Mipha imploring him to get away. The adult Sidon intervened in time to slay the Moblin before any of them were harmed. He checks on his younger self to make sure he is fine and Mipha is also relieved to see that both her brother's counterparts aren't hurt and asks her Sidon what brought him here. Sidon deduces that he wanted to demonstrate his courage and reminds him that he should never wander off on his own, but he does commend his bravery and adds that he will become stronger so that he can protect his sister. He trails for a moment before both he and his infant counterpart grin, leaving Mipha to giggle in amusement. 
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, Daruk and Yunobo take Divine Beast Vah Rudania to help the Sheikah protect Kakariko Village from the monsters and the Yiga Clan that is commanded by Sooga. Upon their success, the crowd cheers for them and Yunobo sees Daruk casting a quick glance at him and in a panic, refusing to take credit for any of this and goes on to explain that he was once afraid of everything, up until he met a Hylian (who is the Link in his own timeline), who inspired him to be braver and stronger and believes that he still has a way to go, before Daruk takes his arm and raises it as the crowd gives another round of applause. Daruk then lets Yunobo know how proud he is that he is his descendant and regards him as the Champion of the Future, and to tell that friend of his to give him his regards. Yunobo appreciates his ancestor's words and smiles.
Urbosa finds herself in conflict with Thunderblight Ganon and was forced into the defensive and Revali is struggling in the battle against Windblight Ganon and is unable to counter because of its barrage of lasers being fired in his direction. Urbosa is eventually pushed into the lower floor of Naboris where she drops to one of her knees in exhaustion as Thunderblight charges at her and Revali lets out a cry of pain as one of the lasers struck his wing knocking him off-balance despite attempting to brush it off as a mere scratch as Windblight charges its cannons and aims its cannons at him. Just as all hope was lost for them, the Gate of Time appears, and arrows burst out from it to strike Windblight before it could open fire, revealing Teba as the assailant. and Riju alongside Patricia storms through time and managed to run into Thunderblight Ganon before it could reach Urbosa. The Gerudo Champion was stunned and Riju tells her that they need to focus on the battle at the moment. Riju's support to Urbosa bought enough time for Link and his friends to reach them and obliterate Thunderblight Ganon and Urbosa shocks open a large updraft and stays behind to rest while Riju joins the rescue team to swipe aside various monsters to make it to the updraft to use to reach Vah Medoh where Teba and Revali are just beginning to struggle when Windblight blocked Revali's Bomb Arrows. 
 
Thankfully, Revali reassures Teba that help has arrived referring to Link and the team and with their efforts, Windblight Ganon was forced to retreat for a time-being. Urbosa managed to catch up to them and she thanks Princess Zelda for her selfless efforts, and she goes on to thank Riju for coming for her when she needed the most help and Riju insists that they all fought as one. Revali approaches Link and after staring for a bit, he insists that they would have been fine without him and adds that he supposed that it was better that he was here. This side of Revali shocks Teba, who almost comments on this before Urbosa cuts him off to prevent him from saying anything that would leave Revali feeling hurt in the end before asking the princess on the fate of Hyrule Castle. After learning the latest events, Revali and Teba join forces to protect Western Hyrule as Teba destroys the Guardian Skywatchers before they could attack Revali and is pursued by more of them before Revali returns the favor, leaving Teba highly impressed by Revali's prowess. With his signature smirk, Revali prepares to reveal the true might of Vah Medoh's power as he shoots down several Guardians and enemy outposts in his wake. During the battle, Windblight Ganon reappears with a vengeance and makes one last attempt at not only Revali's life, but Teba's as well, but this time Revali was ready to fight back and unleashes his full wrath by utterly destroying it, and he and Teba were able to secure the area. 
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, Revali spies a Rito child wandering around in the forest, and he quickly loses sight of it. Noting the resemblance between him and Teba and having never seeing a child like him in the village, Revali lets Teba know about it which worries Teba and tags along with Revali, despite the latter's initial doubts about Teba's troubled state, lets him come. Upon arrival, Teba asks Revali for a description of the missing child and Revali states that he has white feathers just like him and never met a Rito child like him, which leads Teba to suspect that it was his son, but he must first find him. After some searching, the child turns up and he is revealed to be Tulin whom Teba recognized right away, though he refuses to leave him out there alone, but fortunately, a Rito Captain offers to protect Tulin as they make their way out while Revali and Teba keep the monsters away from them. When Tulin meets Revali, he believes he's just another Rito warrior, before Revali corrects him and Teba introduces Tulin to Revali, letting him know of their familial connection leading Revali to believe that they have both traveled back in time. Tulin often praises Revali's prowess from time to time leading the Rito warrior to believe that he is still remembered and figures that the Rito in the future timeline still haven't broken any of his records. When they make it to their destination, which is found to be a dead end, Revali grew frustrated that they have no way of escaping without the help of the Koroks, but Tulin points out a secret passage through reading the wind, which impresses the adults around him, and they were eventually to successfully escape the forest.
Teba tells Tulin to thank Revali since he was the reason why he lived, which the young boy complies as he stands in front of Revali to do so. Revali smiles a bit as he replies that he is pretty good for a little kid. The delighted Tulin excitedly jumps close to Revali's face, making him back away nervously, as he tells him of his intentions to become like him through much training and to wield the Great Eagle Bow. Revali notes that Tulin was nearly killed by the monsters infesting the forest while adding that he is still happy and bets that he may one day become the master of the wind. Teba agrees and adds that he first must surpass his own father. Tulin imitates Revali's speaking patterns, which Teba burst out laughing only to stop when Revali looked seemingly miffed at this, asking if it was meant to sound like him. Teba is still at a loss for words when Revali suddenly starts to chuckle which turned into a full-blown laughter to the point where he clutched his tummy, which both Teba and Tulin laughed with him. When they had settled down, Tulin summons an updraft under the name, "Tulin's Tornado" to bring himself into the air, though he falls down as Teba checks on him as Revali chuckles as he warmly reminds the young boy that he still has a long way to go, affectionately calling him "kid".
In the Guardian of Remembrance DLC, Urbosa and Riju have the mission of protecting the Science Academy from the monsters and the Yiga Clan commanded by Master Kohga. After assisting the Sheikah, the Gerudo and Hylian soldiers regroup to discuss amongst themselves. Urbosa sees the Thunder Helm in Riju's hands and complements her getting the hang of its use. Placing the helm on her head, Riju was about to explain her duties as the future's chief when Master Kohga suddenly swipes it from her and places it on his topknot. He then taunts Urbosa that her lightning attacks won't work on him now that he has it, but Urbosa knew that Kohga doesn't know how to get it to work, and she manages to shock him anyway to prove to him how wrong he is. The impact causes the Thunder Helm to come loose and fall to the ground as Riju retrieves it. Recovering from it, Master Kohga is flabbergasted as he demands to know how she still did it and how it didn't protect him. Urbosa severely tells him that it will take a hundred years or more to master the helm as Riju glares at him. Angered, Kohga vows that even if it took him that long, the helm will be his as he vanishes which gives the present and future chieftains a breather. 
Princess Zelda later recalls Sidon telling the tale on how he came into the past to protect his sister in her most dire hour of need and realized that Terrako was responsible for the events that allowed the Champions to survive and the Divine Beasts to stay on their side and she thanks it for what it's done, and they head for Akkala Citadel to search for Robbie and help the army protect them.
As Akkala Citadel fell under attack once more, this time by the Guardians, with the morale low amongst the knights. Robbie, who somehow managed to escape the Yiga Clan earlier, has a feeling that their luck might change and was soon proven correct when Divine Beast Vah Ruta, with both Sidon and Mipha controlling it arrive and push their way through to the citadel and they managed to save Link and his friends from a Guardian and assures them that they have them covered. Mipha is proud to have Sidon fighting alongside her and the Zora prince he had become, Sidon replies with some melancholy that they can do this as Mipha turns her attention to their task as they join tridents. Sidon takes control of Vah Ruta while Mipha goes on ahead to heal the wounds on the faltering soldiers while helping her friends find Robbie. As the Divine Beast starts to run low on power, Daruk and Yunobo arrive in the nick of time to back them up while the army uses the cannons to break down the bridge just as the Malice Guardians start to cross it and they fell with it leaving the heroes to destroy them. Because the enemies have no other way to enter the citadel, the Hylian knights were able to have their rest from the battle and the battle turned out to be a success.
Fort Hateno is on the verge of defeat and large numbers of Guardians and monsters surround it. Urbosa and Riju, with Vah Naboris at their side take a stand against them. Riju is disheartened by Hyrule's horrific state and what they're dealing with, and Urbosa took notice of this and gives her a pep talk that she was the reason why she lived on and Naboris keeping its pilot and wagers that they're unstoppable. More assured, Riju takes her hand as they leap into action, and they fought valiantly to keep the Guardians and monsters at bay. When enemy reinforcements arrive with a vengeance, it was Riju's turn to remind a frustrated Urbosa that they must persevere until the battle is over, which brings the Gerudo Champion back up. As fortune has had it, Divine Beasts, Vah Medoh, Vah Ruta, and Vah Rudania have arrived to wipe them out in the nick of time, leaving Urbosa to wonder what took them so long. The battle at Fort Hateno was a major turning point for Hyrule in several ways, Princess Zelda managed to awaken her power unexpectedly when she ran back to Link's side to protect him from Astor and the revived Blight Ganons, Purah was able to fire up the failsafe that disabled the vast majority of the Guardians that made up a large portion of Ganon's army leaving Calamity Ganon with only his monsters and a small portion of the Guardians not affected by the failsafe. After they were betrayed by Astor, who reaped the souls of the fallen Yiga soldiers in order to revive the blights and Sooga rendered missing in action, Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan have reformed and join forces with Hyrule to avenge their slain comrades.
King Rhoam was revealed to be alive because of the Ancient Guardian Shield that was the device that Zelda gave him earlier that protected him from the Guardians that had him and his Royal Guard at their mercy. They then 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. As he and his Royal Guard are cornered by the monsters as they are losing their strength to keep on fighting. Just then, the Gerudo vai soldiers, led by Urbosa, appeared as the Gerudo Chief refuses to let the king die and managed to lay waste on the monsters, as long as she is here to protect her late best friend's husband as well as Zelda's father. In the aftermath, King Rhoam apologizes to Urbosa for causing her so much trouble, with the chief replying that the real issue would have been the land of Hyrule losing its king and lets him know that Zelda is on her way to the Great Plateau as she is searching for him. She goes on to explain that Zelda's wings have grown so strong, perhaps even stronger than that of her own mother. When he heard this news, Rhoam smiles and thanks Urbosa as he heads to the Temple of Time. Urbosa mulls over how Zelda's efforts have not been in vain.
The Divine Beasts, along with the present and future Champions, are later summoned to Hyrule Field through Purah's supercharging of the Sheikah Towers and with them, various armies of all races to unite them to take a stand against Calamity Ganon. Mipha expresses relief that everything had gone well with Sidon adding that destroying Ganon is now their top priority, Daruk and Yunobo are fired up for the battle ahead, Revali and Teba are looking forward to making their people proud, and Urbosa and Riju are more optimistic at how things went. Master Kohga and his surviving comrades excitedly intend on avenging their deceased soldiers. With her father's approval, Princess Zelda reminds them that Hyrule is their home that they must protect in preserve their future and as long as they are united, they cannot be stopped as they charge towards it by taking over the outposts and destroying the monsters that uphold the barrier surrounding the castle which prevents the Champions from attacking Ganon. With the barrier down, Zelda uses her power to cripple it further, allowing the Champions to open fire with their Divine Beasts to weaken Ganon. Despite the Blood Moon strengthening Ganon's power, reviving the fallen monsters a few times, the army managed to breach through to the castle.
Princess Zelda leads the ground army while Revali and Teba led the air force as they storm into the castle where they are confronted by Astor, who is visibly starting to become insane after they have defied his dark prophesy time and time again, and Harbinger Ganon who was responsible for the attacks on Rito Village. As they fight within the interiors of the castle, they face against the Blight Ganons one more time and managed to permanently dispose of them for good and they fought against the villainous duo and managed to best them. Astor finally breaks as he orders Harbinger to kill them all, but he himself was absorbed by Ganon's Malice as some of the Malice latches onto Terrako, possessing it and turning it against Link and the princess. After Terrako was defeated, Princess Zelda mourns for it as it weakly plays her lullaby, and she fully recalls the day she assembled Terrako in the time she was a child and her mother, the Queen of Hyrule was still alive and in addition to playing Zelda's Lullaby every night, it also played it whenever she thought of her lost mother until King Rhoam confiscated it from her as he saw it as a mere toy. She recognized its true name as the Champions catch up and are saddened by this sight. Princess Zelda's spirits and strength is resolved as are the Champions' and she vows to ensure that Calamity Ganon falls once and for all as they charge upstairs into the sanctum where the abomination awaited them. From the start, Calamity Ganon proved to be too powerful for them and it constantly shrugged off even their powerful attacks and the princess attempted to use her power to try and seal it. While it was futile, it did manage to get Terrako back onto its feet and make its way upstairs and jumps between the princess and Ganon, destroying itself to break Ganon's defenses apart allowing the heroes to effectively wound it and Link used the Master Sword, with some rallying from Daruk and Revali, to bring Ganon to a critical state where Princess Zelda used her power to finally destroy it for good, ending the war. 
 As peace returns to Hyrule with its people rejoicing over Ganon's downfall, Terrako's screw glows as it sends the future warriors, Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju back to their own time though they had a moment where they exchange good-byes with the Champion pilots as Princess Zelda vows to never forget their friendship and wishes them a bright future ahead of them.
The Champions and the other heroes who partook in the battle later decide to repay Terrako for playing a vital role in Hyrule's survival as well as their own by gathering its fifty components to take to Purah and Robbie so they can assemble it. At first, Terrako still wasn't functioning well leaving them concerned about it until Princess Zelda stands in front of it. 
Her presence caused it to become fully responsive, much to their relief as Princess Zelda reunites with it. Following its reconstruction, Terrako travels around Hyrule and meets with the people who have fought during the war. In Zora's Domain, Mipha pets it hello when it passes by there and it moves onto Death Mountain to meet with Daruk, who jumps for joy at his presence, then it heads to Rito Village to visit Revali, who not only pets it, but he also allows it to ride on his back and drops it off at Gerudo Desert where Urbosa saves it from the last remaining monsters and greets it and Terrako meets with the other warriors and eventually returned to Hyrule Castle where all of the warriors are assembled as Daruk pulls Link, Zelda, Terrako, and the rest of the Champions in for a group hug.
In the secret DLC ending, Sidon and his younger counterpart are bonding with one another as Mipha appears to greet them as she pats both of them on their heads, prompting them to flash their grins, Daruk and Yunobo are sitting on the high cliff as they enjoyed their Rock Roasts, Revali, Teba, and Tulin relax in the Flight Range as the latter was sleeping on Revali's lap as the Rito Champion stops the blanket from blowing away as Teba watches on happily, and Urbosa and Riju are sand seal surfing together in the desert night. All the Champions, present and future, as well as Link, Zelda, and Impa are interacting amongst themselves as Terrako entertains them. 
In the final scene, the Champions are on the Sheikah Tower, all having all returned to their original attires as Impa asks Zelda if she's going through with it, which Zelda tells her that she will do is. She jumps off the tower and floats away on the paraglider as Terrako joins her. Zelda takes a moment to take in the beautiful view of Hyrule which is recovering nicely from the war, with the princess having gained her much-needed confidence since then and having Terrako by her side for whatever the future has in store for her and the land of Hyrule.
