In {{BotW}}, 100 years prior to the events of the game, an evil known as the [[Calamity Ganon]] rose up and laid waste to Hyrule. Unable to be defeated, it was sealed within Hyrule Castle, where it has grown in power since.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=A mysterious female voice over beckons Link to “open his eyes.” Our hero has been asleep for 100 years, a callback to Link’s previous adventures but he wakes up to some dire circumstances: the world has been ravaged in the time Link’s been asleep by Calamity Ganon, a fog-like beast that creates a dark mist around what looks like Hyrule Castle.
