Because it is her 17th birthday, Zelda gets ready to go to Mount Lanayru in an effort to awaken her power to seal Calamity Ganon.[2] However, before they can depart, Calamity Ganon awakens.[3]

Zelda realizes that her father, King Rhoam, is in Hyrule Castle, and she, Link, and Impa go to rescue him.[4] While running towards the castle, Calamity Ganon captures the Guardians and sends two Guardian after the party.[5] If the group attempts to travel the opposite direction, another Guardian will destroy a portion of the gatehouse and obstruct the road.

After reaching the Sanctum, they find a Guardian attacking a Hylian Captain. Defeating the Guardian, two more Guardians drop from the ceiling. The group destroys the Guardians and ask the Hylian Captain where King Rhoam went; the Hylian Captain explains that he fled through the back entrance.[6] They follow him through the entrance in hopes of coming together.

After beating several monsters, they find King Rhoam. However, he then gets surrounded by three Guardians, and tells Link to leave with Zelda. Link does as he is ordered, while Zelda keeps telling Link to let go. Three Guardian lasers could be heard in the distance behind Zelda and Link.

In hopes of preventing her kingdom's destruction, Zelda resolved to train at the Spring of Wisdom. Souls younger than 17 years were forbidden from setting foot on Mount Lanayru, where the Spring of Wisdom lay, as they lacked the spring's namesake. Zelda made plans to ascend as soon as she was of age." — N/A (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)
