Princess Zelda (Era of the Wilds)/Synopsis

The Synopsis of the Era of the Wilds incarnation of Princess Zelda. 
==History==
===Breath of the Wild===
Zelda is portrayed as an aspiring scholar and the leader of the Champions of Hyrule, in addition to being a princess. She is revealed to be over 100 years old as she met with the Champions and had a grave sense that she must stop Ganon, which she devoted to researching about ancient relic to stop him ever since.
After Zelda meets Link, she starts to become suspicious about his character and silence, after failing to open an Ancient Shrine, she gets into an argument with Link, demanding for him to stop following her.
Zelda then travels to the Gerudo desert where she is captured by the Yiga clan, who orders her to be executed. Before she is killed, Link arrives and saves her life, causing her to reconcile with him. Eventually, their renowned friendship allows Zelda to open up and reveal her legendary abilities.
However, as time went on, Zelda was unable to awaken her dormant holy powers, even after a trip to the Springs of Courage and Wisdom, much to the concern of the Champions. Unfortunately, around this time, Calamity Ganon awoke as the Malice seeping from the mummified corpse of Ganondorf took form and arose to unleash the Great Calamity on Hyrule. In the process, the Champions were slaughtered in the Divine Beasts by the Blight Ganons, who took the Divine Beasts over to attack their respective races, King Rhoam was also killed, Hyrule Castle Town was decimated, Akkala Citadel was overrun, and Link and Zelda's attempts to save Fort Hateno proved to be in vain, as Link was mortally wounded and the fort was on the verge of capitulation. As a Malice-infected Guardian Stalker moved in to finish Link off with its eye laser at point-blank range, Zelda made a heroic stand to protect him, causing her powers to finally awaken, purging the Malice from the Guardian, but at this point, it was too little too late.
With Link critically wounded, Zelda takes him to the Shrine of Resurrection to be healed, while she herself takes the Master Sword back to the grove of the Great Deku Tree to be healed as well, and then sacrifices herself to seal both her and Calamity Ganon away in Hyrule Castle for the next century.
===Tears of the Kingdom===
Princess Zelda appears in the sequel to Breath of the Wild. Picking up a few years after the true ending left off, Zelda alongside Link traversed through a cave beneath Hyrule Castle, only to find a mysterious mummified Gerudo corpse with an ethereal hand touching its chest.
Just after they make this discovery, the hand falls off the corpse and a tear-shaped stone emerges from the back of the hand, which Zelda recovers. Moments later, the corpse begins to move, and as it turns to look at them, the eye sockets light up with slit pupils, just like the eyes on the Malice from Calamity Ganon. Moments later, the corpse shoots a beam of pure Gloom at Link, and though he tries to block it with the Master Sword, the beam takes out most of his Heart Containers, burns off his Champion's Tunic, and leaves his arm severely burned. Another shot that Link tries to deflect leads to the Blade of Evil's Bane shattering, with a piece only able to cut and nick the corpse's cheek, causing it to hiss with blood as the corpse voices its disappointment and contempt with how that was the best Link could do to wound him, revealing that it knows Link and Zelda by name, before unleashing a blast of Gloom that begins to lift Hyrule Castle into the air, causing the cavern they are in to collapse. Link tries to save Zelda as she starts to fall into the abyss, but fails, and Zelda vanishes as the stone she recovered teleports her away, while the ethereal hand saves Link.
Zelda wakes up to find herself in a much more peaceful Hyrule, discovering that she traveled into the past thanks to the stone, and meets up with the very first sovereigns of Hyrule, the Zonai King Rauru, and his wife, the Hylian Queen Sonia. Seeing that Zelda is in need of help and understanding of the power of the stone that she possesses, Rauru and Sonia take her in, dress her similarly to Sonia in a Zonai dress and other accessories, and help her gain a better understanding of the Secret Stone she now had access to the power of, having sensed their own powers as the Sages of Light and Time in Zelda.
It was during this time, however, that Ganondorf attempted to attack Hyrule with a force of Molduga unleashed by his Gerudo vai warrior women. Zelda supported Rauru alongside Sonia with empowering him to where he took out the entire Molduga force with a single attack. This causes Ganondorf to rethink his plans for conquering Hyrule.
To that end, he approaches Rauru and Sonia with Koume and Kotake and some of his Gerudo vai under the guise of pledging an oath of fealty to them. Rauru accepts, though Zelda has her concerns about the decision. She later takes some time to mention Link to Rauru and Sonia, impressing them with Link's heroics back in Zelda's time period.
However, fate finally stepped in to ensure history remained on track as, one night, Zelda asked to speak with Sonia in private. When Sonia and Zelda were alone, Sonia asked Zelda what she wanted to discuss, only for Zelda to call Sonia far too trusting as she drew a Gerudo dagger and threw it at Sonia, only for the dagger to be stopped in time before it even touched Sonia's long blonde hair. Sonia then turned around and revealed she knew that the "Zelda" before her was a phony, a puppet of Ganondorf, as the real Zelda then appears to reveal they were on to the plan the whole time, having used her powers to stop the attempt on Sonia's life. After sending the dagger back to her doppelganger, Zelda watched with Sonia as the fake Zelda vanished in a swirl of Malice and Gloom while giggling wickedly, revealing that it was really Phantom Ganon. As Sonia and Zelda look around for where Phantom Ganon went, Ganondorf seizes the moment, and mortally wounds Sonia from behind, catching her by complete surprise. As Sonia falls, whimpering in pain and agony, her Secret Stone of Time swings upwards to where Ganondorf snatches it before Sonia collapses, which Zelda discovers shortly thereafter, horrified to see the Hyrulean Queen having been assassinated as Ganondorf smiles psychotically and cackles maniacally.
As Zelda tends to Sonia, Ganondorf uses Sonia's Secret Stone to become his Demon King self and unleash his Gloom-empowered forces all over Hyrule to lay siege to it. Rauru arrives shortly afterwards to discover his wife's condition before Ganondorf mocks him for thinking he could trust Ganondorf after he pledged fealty to him, and it cost Sonia her life. As Ganondorf continues to taunt Rauru, saying that he will die knowing he failed to keep Ganondorf in check, Rauru nearly attacks Ganondorf in a blind, heartbroken fury, before Zelda calls him back, reminding him of his wife needing him. As Ganondorf attempts to attack them, Rauru blocks with his shield, and Zelda uses the Purah Pad to teleport herself, Rauru, and Sonia's body to safety before Rauru's shield failed.
Later, as Rauru mourns his wife at her grave following her burial, he announces to Zelda his intent to go after Ganondorf with the other Sages to stop him. Zelda warns him that his efforts will be in vain as she saw Ganondorf's mummified corpse back in her time revive when Rauru's sealing magic failed. Understanding that knowledge of destiny Zelda brought back with her, Rauru tells Zelda that she and Link will be Hyrule's last resort to stop the Demon King back in her time and wishes her the best before he departs to gather the Sages and face Ganondorf. However, Zelda joins Rauru, Mineru, and the other Sages as they attempt to battle Ganondorf, but in the end, despite their best efforts, Ganondorf is too powerful, so Rauru makes the ultimate sacrifice and is able to pin Ganondorf down and subdue him while warning him that Zelda and Link would defeat him in the future, which Ganondorf seems interested in seeing happen before he is fully subjugated and leads to where Rauru keeps him imprisoned up to Zelda and Link's time, when Rauru's power finally failed and Ganondorf broke free.
Zelda had also spoken to Mineru about how if one were to swallow their Secret Stone, they would give up their humanity and cognitive mind to become an immortal dragon. Mineru forbid Zelda even considering that, but after nearly collapsing from her own infection by Gloom that left her seriously ill, Mineru was willing to go along with Zelda's plan, but still warned her of the consequences if she went through with it to get back to her time period to help Link.
After Link sends the Master Sword back to Rauru's time to allow Zelda to heal it over the millennia, despite knowing the risks and some hesitation after talking to Mineru about it, she swallows her Secret Stone and gives up her Hylian form to become a Light Dragon, with which she is then able to heal the Master Sword, restoring it back to full strength by the time she returns to her present, with her last words before transforming as her eyes change from human to dragon being to Link to protect everyone before she fully assumes her draconic state, crying several tears that rain down over Hyrule as she takes to the skies. She can be found flying all around Hyrule and like the other dragons seen flying around Hyrule since the events of Breath of the Wild in Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh, her scales, horns, fangs, shards, and claws can be shot down with arrows for use in weapon fusion or upgrading gear. 
When Link prepares to face Ganondorf after helping awaken the descendants of the Sages in his and Zelda's time period in Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, and Tulin, upon nearing his defeat, Ganondorf takes drastic measures, and does like Zelda with swallowing his own Secret Stone to become a Demon Dragon to kill Link with. Zelda intervenes in her Light Dragon form, and together, they are able to finally slay the Demon King for good when Link destroys Sonia's corrupted Secret Stone with the Master Sword, causing Ganondorf to vanish in a massive explosion of light. As a final gift before they ascend to the afterlife to join King Rhoam, Urbosa, Mipha, Revali, and Daruk, Rauru and Sonia use the last of their power to restore Zelda to her Hylian form and fully heal Link's arm, allowing them to reunite and return to the business of seeing to Hyrule's restoration with their friends, citizens, and other residents of the kingdom.
Some time later, after Zelda has changed from her Zonai attire back to her original outfit she was wearing at the start of the game, she, Link, and the Sages' descendants, along with Purah, meet with Mineru as, with her duty complete, she prepares to depart to the afterlife to join Rauru and Sonia. After offering some final words of wisdom to Zelda, and watching as Riju, Sidon, Yunobo, and Tulin, pledge their loyalty to Zelda to help her keep Hyrule safe and peaceful, Mineru departs to join Rauru, Sonia, Rhoam, and the Champions, while Zelda is joined by Link and the new Champions as they stare out over Hyrule to make the dreams of the late Zonai and first Hyrulean Queen a reality.
===Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity===
Taking place in an alternate timeline of the one in Breath of the Wild, a small Guardian named Terrako awakens during Zelda's desperate stand against the corrupted Guardians at Fort Hateno, after Link has been mortally wounded and the fort is on the verge of collapse, having been awoken when she awoke her dormant powers granted to her by the Triforce and Hylia. Upon hearing his mistress' desperate plea of "I must protect everyone...", Terrako fled into the past via a time portal it summoned before it could be destroyed by a Malice-controlled Guardian Stalker that caught it trying to escape to alter history in Hyrule's favor. 
Arriving in Hyrule some time before Calamity Ganon awoke, Terrako is reunited with Zelda shortly after she emerged from the castle following her father's army being victorious against an army of Ganon's monsters in Hyrule Field, though Zelda does not recognize her old friend. Nevertheless, noticing it had something to show them, Link, Zelda, and Impa take it to Purah and Robbie, and learn of the fate of Hyrule in the future at the hands of the Great Calamity. Having been warned in advance of the threat now, Zelda sets off to recruit the Champions to pilot the Divine Beasts but finds that each one is having trouble dealing with Ganon's monsters or loyal followers like Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan. Despite Ganon's best efforts, Zelda is able to successfully recruit Mipha, Urbosa, Daruk, and Revali.
However, after returning to Castle Town, Zelda is ambushed by Sooga and the Yiga, along with Ganon's monsters. Though Link takes her and withdraws, leaving the Champions to fight the Yiga and monsters with her out of harm's way, the Hinox they fight was merely the decoy while Sooga went after Zelda and Link himself. When Sooga throws three kunai at her, Terrako jumps to block them and protect her, but Link arrives just in time to save both Zelda and Terrako from the kunai, forcing Sooga to call a retreat, but angering Terrako at Link stealing its thunder. Shortly thereafter, Zelda and the Champions head to Korok Forest to find the Master Sword, meeting up with the giant Korok Hestu, who offers to guide them through the forest in return for protecting him from the monsters that have appeared, along with the strange appearance of Malice, even though Calamity Ganon has not awoken yet. Reaching the grove of the Master Sword, Link and Zelda are confronted by the Prophet of Doom, Astor, a loyal follower of Calamity Ganon, who summons Hollows of the four Divine Beast Champions to attack Link. 
After they destroy his standard Hyrulean Army sword and slam him against the Master Sword's pedestal, Astor orders them to kill Zelda. As the Urbosa Hollow is the first to reach Zelda and lunges her scimitar at her to skewer her through the face and head, the blade is stopped mere inches from Zelda's face as the Hollows suddenly weaken and dissolve from the powerful light emanating from the Master Sword at that exact moment. With that, Link is able to draw the Blade of Evil's Bane from its pedestal, and now armed with it, force Astor into retreat, unable to face the Master Sword's power at that moment. Meeting with the Great Deku Tree afterwards, Zelda learns from him that they have everything they need to face the Calamity now, and Hyrule's fate lies in their hands before returning to his slumber. Despite his wisdom, Zelda is feeling downcast at how much stronger Link has gotten compared to herself and is surprised when Terrako suddenly attempts to cheer her up by playing Zelda's Lullaby to her, reminding her of when he played it to lull her to sleep when she was younger. 
Before she can reminisce further and realize who Terrako is, another attack from Ganon's monsters interrupts them. Nevertheless, after Link and the others fight them off, as she thinks about how much stronger Link has gotten, Urbosa, having taken notice of Zelda's uncertainty, walks up to comfort her and assure her he is still the same boy she met before he attained the Master Sword. Now at peace and reassured that Link is still the same boy and nothing will change that, Zelda feels better and thanks Urbosa for her sagely advice.
Once back in Castle Town, the Champions are officially coronated and given their Champion attire, however, shortly after that happens, Zelda is back to doing her Sheikah research, much to King Rhoam's frustration. Nevertheless, after Terrako tries to ease the King's temper at Zelda, Zelda gives her father a Sheikah disc that she had been researching with her mother, the Queen of Hyrule, before her passing. This causes Rhoam to soften and allow Zelda to continue her research, but remember her duty to awaken her sealing power is still priority one above all else. Link, Zelda, and Urbosa then head to Akkala Citadel to activate the Sheikah Tower there following Link causing the rest of them to rise from the Central Tower with the Sheikah Slate following Purah's advice, but find the Citadel having been captured before they arrived by Sooga and the Yiga to prevent usage of the tower due to the threat it posed to finding the Yiga's main stronghold. Terrako helps get past many of the Yiga's makeshift barricades by activating the dormant Guardian Stalkers to remove them, including one inside the Citadel, forcing the Yiga to open the main gate to flee from it in terror. Despite heavy resistance from the Yiga and Ganon's monsters, including Sooga and a Blue-Maned Lynel, Sooga is defeated and forced to order a full retreat, returning control of the Citadel and its Sheikah Tower to Hyrule. 
After a successful hunt for the Yiga Clan's hideout using the Towers and attacking them there with support from Urbosa in Vah Naboris, forcing Kohga and Sooga into retreat, Impa reports to King Rhoam that Calamity Ganon will awaken on Zelda's 17th birthday, the day she will be allowed to climb Mount Lanayru to access the Spring of Wisdom. With time not on their side, Rhoam sends Zelda to train at the Spring of Courage while he has Castle Town and the surrounding area evacuated of civilians and soldiers, thus minimizing casualties from the Guardians when they turn against Hyrule thanks to Ganon's Malice, and reinforcing the garrisons at Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno, strengthening them to ensure they won't fall to Ganon's forces as if they fall, Hyrule is sure to capitulate.
After changing into her ceremonial white dress and sandals, Zelda heads to the spring. Despite her best efforts at the Spring of Courage, Zelda is unable to awaken her dormant powers, and the spring is attacked by Ganon's monsters as well, but Zelda, Impa, and Link are able to fight them off. As she then prepares to leave for the Spring of Wisdom, saying goodbye to her father before departing, her departure is interrupted when Terrako comes scurrying up in a panic with the Sheikah Slate. Before she and Impa can look at what new info Robbie and Purah found, Calamity Ganon awakens and engulfs the castle. Fighting to find her father, as Zelda and Link attempt to escape later, they are confronted by one of the corrupted Guardian Stalkers. 
As it locks on and begins lazing them to fire its eye laser, it is suddenly stunned from behind by King Rhoam himself when he strikes it with his claymore. He immediately orders Zelda to run for it, but when Link is about to draw the Master Sword to assist, Rhoam reminds him that his duty is to protect the Princess, not the King. Understanding the King's orders, Link keeps the Master Sword holstered and grabs Zelda to flee while the King and his elite guard stay behind to buy them time to escape. As Rhoam and his men are surrounded by two more Guardian Stalkers as the stunned one recovers and glares at the King, Link and Zelda hear them acquire target lock and fire, presumably killing the King of Hyrule and his elite guard, leaving Zelda to look back horrified as Hyrule Castle is engulfed in Ganon's swirling vortex of Malice.
Once a safe distance from the castle, as Zelda watches as Ganon manifests above the castle and roars, Impa shows Zelda the Sheikah Slate and pictures of the Divine Beasts, tainted with Ganon's Malice, meaning they have fallen to Ganon, and Urbosa and the other Champions have been slaughtered. Collapsing to her knees in guilt and grief, Zelda blames herself for what's happened, asking in frustration why her dormant powers won't awaken when they are needed the most. Seeing her upset, Terrako attempts to comfort her with Zelda's Lullaby again, but it is not until one of Zelda's tears falls on Terrako's eye that he suddenly lights up, startling Zelda out of her crying as he plays the same tune to open another time portal that splits into four different ones that take off in different directions. 
After it happens, Zelda stares at Terrako in shock, who can only whistle in puzzlement, before hearing the screech of Divine Beast Vah Medoh. Zelda sees that, despite Malice bleeding from the wings, Vah Medoh's circuitry still glows blue, indicating that Revali is holding on and is still alive, meaning there is still a chance to save the Champions and keep the Divine Beasts under Hyrulean control. With that and the Champions' lives on the line, Zelda takes off after Impa, Link, and Terrako to save the Divine Beasts from becoming Ganon's pawns.
Terrako had summoned Prince Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju from the Breath of the Wild timeline to this one to save the Champions and prevent the Divine Beasts from falling under Calamity Ganon's control. Thanks to their efforts in holding off the Blight Ganons until Zelda and Link arrived to help, the Blights are slain, and the Champions are saved from their gruesome fates, grateful to Zelda and Link for coming to their aid. With the Divine Beasts still under Hyrule's command, the tide begins to turn against Ganon. It is only later, after remembering how Sidon showed up to save Mipha in Vah Ruta, Zelda realizes that Terrako was responsible for calling the future Champions to the past to help alter Hyrule's fate for the better. Following that, Zelda decides the next stop is to save Akkala Citadel, which was under siege by Ganon's monsters and corrupted Guardians.
Despite the reinforced garrison of more troops thanks to King Rhoam's earlier precautions, the Citadel is under heavy siege, with Robbie having taken refuge there after fleeing the Yiga at the Science Academy. Luckily, Vah Ruta arrives to help, and Vah Rudania shortly later, and the aid of two Divine Beasts and their pilots of the present and future sees to the full retreat of Ganon's forces from the Citadel, saving it from further threat. From there, Zelda and her allies head to Fort Hateno, which was already heavily besieged and on the verge of collapse from Ganon's forces. As if to make things worse, Astor arrives with resurrected Blight Ganons to deal with Zelda himself. Link stays back to fight a four-on-one battle with the Blights while Zelda and Impa flee to help the fort. However, after apparently losing her father, Zelda can't bear seeing Link being killed by the Blights, and breaking free from Impa, she rushes back to help him. 
As she reaches out for him and calls his name, her holy power from the Triforce and Hylia finally awakens, stunning the Blights and purging the Malice from the corrupted Guardians, much to her surprise and Astor's horror. With her holy power having awoken at last, Zelda is able to help kill the Blights and save Fort Hateno, and Purah is able to activate a failsafe that shuts down and destroys most of the corrupted Guardians, crippling Ganon's forces beyond repair and stunting his assault on Hyrule. With Ganon forced to recall his remaining Guardians and monsters back to defend what territory they still possessed, Zelda rallies the surviving members of the Hyrulean Army at Fort Hateno under her command, raising their morale, and prepares to launch their counterattack.
However, drawn away by a Hyrulean soldier, Zelda and Impa wonder what he wants, before the soldier reveals himself to be Master Kohga in disguise. Although Impa moves to fight her traitorous Yiga brethren, Kohga bends down on his knees and plans his face against the ground, subjugating and surrendering himself to Zelda, showing that he needs her help. Having been betrayed by Astor and lost many of his Yiga clansmen to him to revive the Blights, Kohga now asks for Zelda's help to avenge his clansmen, having the surviving Yiga rejoin Impa and the Sheikah and join the Hyrulean coalition. With the support of Kohga and his men, Zelda learns of a detachment of Hyrule forces defending the Great Plateau with great fervor. When her forces manage to reach the Temple of Time and she enters to see who was leading the defense, to her her shock, it is King Rhoam himself, her father. 
Rhoam reveals that when the Guardians were about to kill him and his Royal Guard, the disc Zelda gave him earlier reacted, and he held it up, deploying a Guardian Shield that reflected the lasers back at the Guardian Stalkers, stunning the corrupted automatons, and buying the King valuable time to have himself and his Royal Guard retreat to the Great Plateau to regroup. Apologizing to his daughter for his earlier behavior, as Rhoam calls Zelda "the light and hope of Hyrule", the touching moment is so powerful that not even Kohga and his Yiga can resist crying at the heartwarming sight, causing them to have a moment of reconsidering their hatred against the Royal Family for their past transgressions. With the Commander-in-Chief still alive and able to lead, Rhoam orders all his forces to regroup in Hyrule Field for the final push to take back their homeland from Ganon.
Once Rhoam and Zelda gather their forces in Hyrule Field, Purah activates the Sheikah Towers to summon the Gorons, Rito, Gerudo, and Zoras to join their Hyrulean and Sheikah allies, along with the Divine Beasts and their pilots of the present and future. With the army gathered, Rhoam hands command to Zelda, who offers a stirring speech to rally the troops, before turning to look at Hyrule Castle, surrounded in the maelstrom of Calamity Ganon's Malice, and gives the order to attack. Despite their initial advance with clearing out the monsters defending Ganon's barrier so the Divine Beasts can open fire on Ganon directly, Ganon summons his Blood Moon, allowing his power to reach its zenith, and revive his fallen minions to reinforce the barrier, to Zelda's horror when she sees it. 
After taking out the monsters again, the Champions, Zelda, Rhoam, and the others charge into the courtyard, only to be met by Astor and Harbinger Ganon, ready to defend their master, with Astor apparently on the verge of a psychotic breakdown from how the Hyrulean forces have gotten this far and defied Ganon's will and destiny to conquer Hyrule, while Zelda is shocked to see that Harbinger Ganon looks just like Terrako, indicating that Harbinger Ganon was that timeline's Terrako corrupted by Ganon's Malice and happened to be the true culprit behind the attacks on Rito Village.
After defeating Harbinger Ganon and Astor, Astor completely loses it and orders Ganon to devour the heroes but fed up with Astor's failures one time too many, and as Sooga had warned Astor earlier, Ganon was no one's servant, Ganon absorbs Astor, destroying Harbinger Ganon, and gaining a complete, and perfected form, that he was unable to attain in the Breath of the Wild timeline. Roaring in triumph, Ganon unleashes a surge of Malice, and some of it hits Terrako, who despite his attempts to fight off the Malice's influence, falls victim to it and turns on Zelda and Link, forcing them to fight him until he is critically damaged, but purged of the Malice. Horrified at what happened to him, Zelda finally remembers Terrako from her childhood, and how Terrako comforted her after her mother, the Queen of Hyrule, passed away, before Rhoam confiscated him, despite Zelda's desperate pleas not to, only for Rhoam to sadly apologize as he needed her to focus on the prophecy of Calamity Ganon's return and unlock her dormant powers. After finally remembering him, Zelda is filled with a burning passion of hatred and fury towards Calamity Ganon. Now, it was personal.
Fighting past the elite of Ganon's monsters and corrupted Guardians still under his command, they reach Calamity Ganon, but he proves invulnerable to their strikes. When he tries to attack himself, Link protects Zelda from being crushed by a large slab of the ceiling when Ganon brings it down, and Zelda returns the favor by blocking Ganon's strike with her holy light. As she repeats the same line Terrako heard her say during her desperate attempt to protect Link during the fall of Fort Hateno in the original timeline, but this time in confidence and not desperation to protect Link, her father, the Champions, and all of Hyrule from Ganon, Terrako is able to find some amount of strength left to limp, walk, and then run into the castle citadel and hurl himself at Calamity Ganon before activating his self-destruct in Ganon's face, destroying Terrako, but shattering Ganon's defenses, leaving him vulnerable to conventional attacks. 
Thanks to Terrako's heroic sacrifice, Zelda and the others seize the moment and attack Ganon with everything they've got. Once he is weakened enough, Link delivers the finisher with cleaving Ganon in two vertically with the Master Sword, before Zelda summons her holy light to seal him away once and for all. Although Ganon tries to stop her, his punch to try and take her out is easily blocked by her shield of divine light from Hylia and the Triforce, and Ganon is soon engulfed in that divine power.
Sometime later, Hyrule is at peace. Ganon has been defeated and sealed away forever, and the Great Calamity is over. As Link, Zelda, and the Champions gather on the balcony of Hyrule Castle to see their land free of Ganon's Malice, the Ancient Screw that Zelda recovered following Terrako's sacrifice glows, as do the future Champions. With Ganon's threat gone and Hyrule safe, it was time for the future Champions to return to their own timeline, and Terrako, despite being gone, was granting one last favor with sending them home. After the future Champions are returned to their timeline, Zelda and the others look out over a Hyrule that will not fall into ruin thanks to Ganon, and it was all thanks to Terrako.
Shortly thereafter, they manage to recover Terrako's pieces to try and rebuild him. Once Robbie and Purah finish, everyone notices that Terrako doesn't seem to be responding, despite all their efforts to restore him. Only when Zelda tries to look into his eye does Terrako, upon recognizing her, fully reactivates, much to everyone's relief and happiness, while Zelda takes Terrako in her arms, gives him a loving hug, and welcomes him home. Terrako, unaware that Zelda was crying tears of joy and not sadness, begins playing Zelda's Lullaby for her, much to her happiness and amusement.
