{{Main|Mipha, the Zora Princess}}

====Daruk====

{{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}}'s party learns that {{Term|HWAoC|Rito Village}} had recently been attacked by an army of monsters led by a small {{Term|HWAoC|Harbinger Ganon|link|display=Guardian similar to the one in the party}}, and had thought it had returned to launch a second attack. While {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} is grateful that neither {{Term|HWAoC|Link}} nor {{Term|HWAoC|Revali}} were hurt, {{Term|HWAoC|Impa}} points out that the presence of another small {{Term|HWAoC|Guardian}} linked to {{Term|HWAoC|Calamity Ganon}} is worrisome in its own right. {{Term|HWAoC|Revali}} interrupts to volunteer his service piloting {{Term|HWAoC|Divine Beast Vah Medoh|link}} and questions {{Term|HWAoC|Link}}'s competence as a knight. When the small {{Term|HWAoC|Guardian}} also chimes in, apparently to insist that it is also a knight serving {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}}, {{Term|HWAoC|Revali}} can only grumble.

{{Main|Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief}}

As the party arrives at {{Term|HWAoC|Gerudo Town|link}}, they are attacked by {{Term|HWAoC|Gerudo|link}} forces seemingly commanded by {{Term|HWAoC|Urbosa|link}} to kill them. {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} is confused by their unexplainable aggression, but is sure that the {{Term|HWAoC|Gerudo}} chief can clear it up.

After the battle, {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} gives a speech to motivate the soldiers, urging them not to let despair get the better of them and assuming command of the armies of the {{Term|HWAoC|Hyrule}}. Some time later, {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} and {{Term|HWAoC|Impa|link}} meet with a soldier who turns out to be {{Term|HWAoC|Master Kohga|link}}, who has come to join her forces in order to avenge the {{Term|HWAoC|Yiga Clan|link}} members that {{Term|HWAoC|Astor|link}} has betrayed.

The party responds to news of {{Term|HWAoC|Hylian}} forces in battle at the {{Term|HWAoC|Great Plateau|link}} by rushing to their aid. While it is too far to reach by foot, {{Term|HWAoC|Purah}} is able to reactivate the {{Plural|HWAoC|Sheikah Tower}} and enhance their teleportation abilities. The {{Term|HWAoC|Yiga}} report that rubble is blocking the way to the {{Term|HWAoC|Temple of Time}} where most of the soldiers are, and {{Term|HWAoC|Purah}} comes up with the idea of using the {{Term|HWAoC|Shrine of Resurrection|link}} as a travel gate. They break through into the temple and discover that {{Term|HWAoC|King Rhoam}} is alive. He explains that the relic {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} gave him turned out to be an ancient shield that saved his life, and father and daughter reconcile.

As the sun rises, the united Hyrulian people rejoice to see that the {{Term|HWAoC|Great Calamity}} is ended. {{Term|HWAoC|Terrako}}'s screw begins to shine, and {{Term|HWAoC|Riju|link}} realizes that she, {{Term|HWAoC|Teba|link}}, {{Term|HWAoC|Yunobo|link}}, and {{Term|HWAoC|Sidon|link}} must return to their own future. The {{Plural|HWAoC|Champions|link}} say their farewells to their descendants, and {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} vows to treasure their friendship for all time.

An unknown amount of time after {{Term|HWAoC|Calamity Ganon|link}}'s sealing, {{Term|HWAoC|Robbie|link}}, {{Term|HWAoC|Purah|link}}, and {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda|link}} have finished repairing {{Term|HWAoC|Terrako|link}} using parts gathered from all over {{Term|HWAoC|Hyrule|link}}.<ref name="Gallery">{{Cite|{{Big|Terrako}}<br/>Guardian of Time<br/>A tiny guardian who has traveled from the future to save Zelda. It was broken in the fight against the Calamity but has now been repaired and reactivated thanks to the effort of Link and the others.|Gallery|HWAoC}}</ref> While they initially fear that they were unsuccessful, the sight of {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}}'s face causes {{Term|HWAoC|Terrako}} to fully reactivate. {{Term|HWAoC|Link}}, {{Term|HWAoC|Impa}}, and the {{Plural|HWAoC|Champions}} happily look on as {{Term|HWAoC|Zelda}} tearfully welcomes back the {{Term|HWAoC|Guardian}} whose aid and sacrifice ultimately changed the course of history.

By mid-2012, following the reception to {{SS|-}}, {{TLoZ|Series}} producer Eiji Aonuma had determined that the franchise was in urgent need of reinvention, in order for it to remain relevant. Aonuma decided that the development team would focus on rethinking the conventions of ''Zelda'', and that this would largely center around two misconceptions:<ref>{{Cite Person|quote= Aonuma: Our mission in developing this new Zelda game for Wii U is quite plainly to rethink the conventions of Zelda. I'm referring to things such as the player is supposed to complete dungeons in a certain order. That you are supposed to play by yourself, the things that we've come to take for granted recently. We want to set aside these "conventions," get back to basics to create a newborn Zelda so players today can enjoy the real essence of the franchise. We had actually worked on this kind of challenge with Skyward Sword, but we weren't able to put efforts in changing the linear structure of the game. I hope to be able to talk with you in more detail about how it will change after I see it come together a bit more. |name= Eiji Aonuma |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MzG6lDA1A0 |title= Wii U Direct - Nintendo Games 1.23.2013}}</ref>

The development team tackled the notion of non-linear ''Zelda'' games with {{ALBW|-}} and {{BotW}}. While both games were in development, Nintendo was approached by publisher Koei Tecmo, whose studios had previously worked with the company on titles like ''Metroid: Other M'' and ''Fatal Frame'', with a proposal to develop a new kind of ''Zelda'' game using its Omega Force studio—the team behind the ''Dynasty Warriors'' series of games.<ref>{{Cite Person|quote= "When Mr. Hayashi approached me for this collaboration, he said, 'let’s rethink our preconceived ideas of what we can do with a Zelda game'."|name= Eiji Aonuma|url= https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/09/interview_eiji_aonuma_and_yosuke_hayashi_on_hyrule_warriors_and_shigeru_miyamotos_definitive_role|title= Interview: Eiji Aonuma and Yosuke Hayashi on Hyrule Warriors and Shigeru Miyamoto's Definitive Role}}</ref> The original pitch by Koei Tecmo producer Yosuke Hayashi involved a number of elements that were staples of ''Zelda'', such as dungeon exploration, with elements of the ''Warriors'' series mixed in to create something new. However, Nintendo "Fellow" Shigeru Miyamoto asked that Hayashi graft the world of ''Zelda'' onto ''Dynasty Warriors'' gameplay instead.<ref>{{Cite Person|quote= At first, when Hayashi-san approached me, he wanted to make this title closer to a Zelda game than a Dynasty Warriors game — that extended to having boss battles in the dungeons and [having] certain characters in the game. However, Mr. Miyamoto came along and up-ended the tea table, saying, 'No, that should not be the case. What we’re doing here is grafting Zelda onto the Dynasty Warriors experience.' It was a reversal of the original proposal from Hayashi-san, which was adding elements of Dynasty Warriors onto the Zelda franchise. It ended up being the other way around based on Miyamoto’s direction.|name= Eiji Aonuma|url= https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/09/interview_eiji_aonuma_and_yosuke_hayashi_on_hyrule_warriors_and_shigeru_miyamotos_definitive_role|title= Interview: Eiji Aonuma and Yosuke Hayashi on Hyrule Warriors and Shigeru Miyamoto's Definitive Role}}</ref>
