― Hyrule Warriors:Age of calamity

**Harbinger Ganon** is a character and the main antagonist in *Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity*. Although he is not a playable character in the game, there are some rumors that he is going to be a DLC in the next update.

Harbinger Ganon is Terrako from the *Age of calamity* timeline who was possessed by Malice following the Terako from the *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* timeline. As a result, the Harbinger becomes a vessel for the consciousness of Calamity Ganon and is able to set his plan into motion in the alternate timeline before Ganon should even be present.

## The Great Calamity occurs

Following the wakening of Princess Zelda's powers during the Great Calamity, Terako is awakened indirectly by her. Terrako finds itself in Hyrule Castle who has been taken over by Calamity Ganon. It immediatly uses his powers to open a portal that would take him back in time to another timeline. He is spoted by a Guardian corrupted by Malice who tries to stop it from going back in time. This fails, but Malice manages to follow him in the portal.

## The Great Calamity is averted

#### Birth of Harbinger Ganon

As Terrako arrives into the alternate timeline, the Malice who followed it finds the Terrako of this timeline who was stored in Hyrule Castle and possess it. The Harbinger manages to escape the castle and wander around until he stumbles upon Astor who worships Ganon. The Harbinger seems to give him some of his power in exchange of his help to prevent Terrako from changing fate. The Harbinger is seen stalking Zelda and her group making their way to the Ancient Tech Lab and possess a Guardian Stalker with Malice to try to kill them. When Zelda and her group recruit Revali, he tells her that the Rito initially attacked their group because Terrako looked like a Guardian who led an army of monster against their village not long before the princess arrived. It is unknown if the Harbinger led this attack before meeting Astor or if it happened as they were already allies.

### Teaming up with the yiga!

At some point after meeting Astor, the two go to the Yiga Clan who are a clan of rebel Sheikah worshiping Ganon to have their revenge on the royal family who banished them long ago. The Yiga started taking orders from Astor who could use the Harbinger to recieve visions of the future from Ganon. After repeated failures to stop the Hyrulean army and the arrival of this timeline's version of Calamity Ganon, Astor tries to sacrifice the Yigas to Ganon to revive the blights who were defeated by the champions with the help from time traveling warriors from the future unlike what happens in the other timeline. Master Kohga refuses and turn on Astor and the Harbinger, but he is forced to flee and eventually allies himself and what remains of his clan with the Hyrulean army.

## Last stand of the Calamity

The Harbinger reveals itself to Zelda and her allies foalting alongside Astor before they enter the now Malice filled Hyrule Castle. The Harbinger then warps itself into a more imposing form and Zelda realize that it must be this Terrako who made the Rito attack her group. The two then wait for the group inside Hyrule Castle. The Harbinger awaits inside one of the castle's gateway. Once it is defeated, it retreats. Once Astor is also forced to retreat, the duo awaits for the group near the top of the castle. Astor tries to force the Harbinger to attack the group but Ganon turns on him and his body is consumed by the Harbinger who then turns into a fully realized Calamity ganon.
