Chapter 887: A Special Power
The tower had been passed down through the ages. One day, the kingdom's fortune teller made a prophecy: "Calamity Ganon is about to revive, but the power to resist it lies dormant within the earth."
The King of Hyrule ordered excavations, and they discovered treasures crafted by the ancient ancestors.
Divine Beasts: Mechanical constructs imitating the forms of beasts, capable of being piloted by warriors, possessing extraordinary and immense power.
Guardians: Puppet soldiers that could fight using their own consciousness, capable of firing lasers.
These things perfectly matched the legends that had long been passed down throughout the Kingdom of Hyrule.
Furthermore, the royal princess who possessed the sealing power, and the knight chosen by the sword that seals the darkness—in the distant ancient era, they, together with these ancient treasures, had sealed away the true Calamity Ganon.
One hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Hyrule also saw a princess and a knight who inherited the power of their ancestors. They selected four Champions to pilot the Divine Beasts, gaining the power to seal Ganon.
However, Ganon appeared directly deep beneath Hyrule Castle, using his evil power to take control of countless Guardians and the four Divine Beasts.
All the Champions fell in battle. The knight chosen by the sword that seals the darkness was also wounded and collapsed while protecting the princess. The Kingdom of Hyrule was destroyed...
But the surviving Princess Zelda, relying on her own power, sealed Ganon within Hyrule Castle. And that knight chosen by the sword that seals the darkness was Link.
One hundred years ago, Link's life had already reached its end. Princess Zelda had him sent to the Shrine of Resurrection, and after a full century, he finally slowly awakened. However, his power had been severely damaged, incomparable to his peak state.
The old king pointed Link in the right direction, telling him to leave the Great Plateau, travel across the entire land of Hyrule, complete the trials of the Shrines, use the Spirit Orbs to exchange for the power to oppose Calamity Ganon, and ultimately save this world.
