In Breath of The Wild, Link awakens to a world of chaos—Calamity Ganon has taken over the seat of Hyrule, and the Divine Beasts, great machines created to stop Ganon, have gone haywire, unable to be controlled. Link must return the Divine Beasts to the people of Hyrule’s control, recover memories from his past, recover his strength, and the master sword in order to finally stop Calamity Ganon and save Princess Zelda, who has been holding Ganon back while he slept safely for 100 years.
