The Isolated Plateau

"" is a BotW: in.

Overview
After BotW: descends the BotW:, the BotW: glides in on his BotW: to talk with him. Seeing the BotW:, he notes that the two of them have an enigma in front of them. When BotW: activated the BotW:, it emerged from the ground along with the rest of the NaN Sheikah Towers. The BotW: likens it to a long-dormant power suddenly awakening.

The BotW: asks BotW: if anything odd happened on top of the BotW:. If BotW: tells him that he heard a voice, he asks if BotW: recognized it. He is disappointed to hear that BotW: does not know the voice.

Changing the subject, the BotW: points out BotW: circling BotW:. He explains that, 100 years ago, the BotW: brought BotW: to ruin. It appeared suddenly, destroying many innocent lives. While it has been just barely trapped in BotW: for a century, it has been building its strength and will soon be free.

The BotW: asks BotW: if he intends to go to BotW:. However, he informs BotW: that the BotW: is surrounded on all sides by sheers cliffs, and the only way down would be with a BotW:. The BotW: notices BotW:'s interest in it, so he decides to offer him a trade. This activates the BotW:.

The BotW: has BotW: follow him to a nearby hill. He shows BotW: BotW:, saying it began to glow when the NaN Sheikah Towers emerged from the ground. He believes there might be a treasure inside and tasks BotW: with retrieving it in exchange for the BotW:.

Once BotW: has completed his first BotW: on the BotW:, the BotW: appears to congratulate him for obtaining a BotW:. When BotW: is confused as to how he knows this, he chalks it up to clairvoyance. He explains that the older one gets, the more difficult it can become for them to see what it right before their eyes, but things that were once hidden can become crystal clear. However, he acknowledges that this may not be true for everyone.

According to the BotW:, the appearance of the NaN Sheikah Towers and the awakening of the NaN Ancient Shrines are connected to the BotW:. He reveals that it has been some time since I last saw the BotW:. He explains that, long ago, a highly advanced race known as the BotW: lived in BotW:, and their wisdom saved the kingdom several times over. It is said that their BotW: disappeared, but it is interesting to him that items have survived hidden away in Shrines.

The BotW: continues, saying there are more NaN Ancient Shrines hidden all over BotW:. He reveals there are three more BotW: on the BotW:, asking for the treasures in each of them in exchange for the BotW:. If BotW: points out that this was not what he agreed to, the BotW: claims to have changed his mind. If BotW: asks why he needs more now, the BotW: recalls that he never said there would only be one treasure.

Feeling generous, the BotW: gives BotW: a tip for finding more NaN Ancient Shrines. He tells BotW: that it is best to survey the area from a high point, suggesting he try the top of the BotW:. When BotW: asks if he is joking, the BotW: shares another trick with him. BotW: can open the BotW: on the BotW: to instantly travel to NaN Travel Gates he has activated. He claims to have heard this some time ago, but he does not know if that is actually how it works.

After BotW: completes the fourth BotW:, the BotW: BotW: down to meet him outside. He decides it is time to tell BotW: everything. He tells BotW: to imagine an "X", with each of its points being one of the shrines, and to find the spot where the lines intersect. There, he will be waiting for BotW:. He asks BotW: if he understands as he disappears into green lights.

The location the BotW: is referring to is the BotW:. He can be found in the room on top of it, waiting. When BotW: arrives, he congratulates him and says it is time to share his true identity. The BotW: reveals himself to be BotW:, the last king of BotW:. With a flash, the BotW:'s appearance changes to that of BotW:.

When the BotW: struck, BotW: lost his life. Since then, he has remained on the BotW: in the form of a spirit. The reason he kept his identity a secret from BotW: was to not overwhelm him while he memory was still fragile. He believes that {{Term|BotW|Link|| is now ready to hear the tale of what happened 100 years ago.

In an age long past, {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}} was once a man, but he has since been transformed into {{Term|BotW|Malice|link}}. Stories of {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|display=Ganon}} were passed down in the form of legends and fairy tales. There was also a prophecy, stating "The signs of a resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear. And the power to oppose it lies dormant beneath the ground."

Following the prophecy, excavations began on large areas of land. In the process, they found the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast|link}}, giant machines made to be piloted by warriors. In addition, they found the {{Plural|BotW|Guardian|link}}, which coincided with ancient legends. Their research also informed them of an ancient princess with a sacred power and a knight chosen by the {{Term|BotW|Master Sword|link|display=sword that seals the darkness}}, who were able to seal {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}} away with the power of the relics.

100 years ago, a {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|link|display=princess}} was set to inherit her sacred power, with a knight by her side. Four {{Plural|BotW|Champions|link}} were selected and tasked with piloting their {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}}. Just as the princess, the knight, and the {{Plural|BotW|Champions}} were on the brink of sealing away {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}, he responded with his own plan. Appearing from below BotW:, he took control of the {{Plural|BotW|Guardian}} and {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}}. The {{Plural|BotW|Champions}} and those residing in the {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Castle|display=Castle}} lost their lives, and the appointed knight collapsed while defending the princess. {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Kingdom}} was devastated by the BotW:.

The princess survived and faced {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}} on her own. The princess can be seen using her power on {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}, telling BotW: he is their final hope and the fate of BotW: rests with him. BotW: reveals that the princess was his daughter, {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|link}}, and BotW: was her fallen knight. When he collapsed, he was taken to the {{Term|BotW|Shrine of Resurrection|link}}, which brought him back 100 years later.

The voice BotW: has heard since he woke up is that of {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda}}, calling out to him as she keeps {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}} restrained. Soon {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|display=Zelda's}} power will be exhausted, and nothing will be left to stop {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|display=Ganon}} from destroying {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|display=Hyrule}}. BotW: feels ashamed to ask for BotW:'s help when he could not save {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|display=Hyrule}} himself, but he recognizes it is the only thing he can do. He begs BotW: to save {{Term|BotW|Princess Zelda|display=Zelda}} and anhnihilate {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}.

Even after a century, the {{Plural|BotW|Divine Beast}} and {{Plural|BotW|Guardian}} are still under the control of {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon}}. Considering it reckless for BotW: to head straight to BotW:, {{Term|BotW|King Rhoam}} instead directs him to {{Term|BotW|Impa|link}} in {{Term|BotW|Kakariko Village|link}}, who can tell him more about the path ahead of him.

After finishing his story, {{Term|BotW|King Rhoam}} gives BotW: the BotW: he promised. Once BotW: receives it, the {{Term|BotW|Main Quest}} will be completed.
