Quotes 

• Daruk : [in a flashback, Zelda and Link return from the Spring of Wisdom at the top of Mount Lanayru]  Well? Don't keep us in suspense. How'd everything go up there on the mountain?

  Princess Zelda : [Zelda gives a negative vocalization and shakes her head; everyone looks downtrodden] 

  Revali : So you didn't feel anything? No power at all?

  Princess Zelda : I'm sorry, no.

  Urbosa : Then let's move on. You've done all you could. Feeling sorry for yourself won't be of any help. After all, it's not like your last shot was up there on Mount Lanayru. Anything could finally spark the power to seal Ganon away. We just have to keep looking for that... thing.

  Princess Zelda : [Mipha looks at Link watching Zelda and the rest of them, and gets an idea]  That's kind of you. Thank you.

  Mipha : If I may... I thought you... Well, I'm not sure how to put this into words... I'm actually quite embarrassed to say it. But I was thinking about what I do when I'm healing. You know, what usually goes through my mind. It helps when I think... when I think about -

  [she is interrupted by a loud rumbling earthquake that jostles the five of them about] 

  Urbosa : [Revali flies up to see what happened, and to his dismay, Calamity Ganon has emerged from inside Hyrule Castle, with magenta lighting bolts in the skies high above it. When he lands again, Urbosa says]  It's here.

  Daruk : This is it, then...

  Mipha : Are you sure?

  Revali : Positive.

  Princess Zelda : [quietly]  It's awake... Ganon!

  Daruk : [Zelda is paralyzed by fear and doesn't know what to do]  Let's stop wasting time! We're gonna need everything we got to take that thing down! Now Champions! To your Divine Beasts! Show that swirling swine who's boss! Link will need to meet Ganon head on when we attack! This needs to be a unified assault! Little guy! You get to Hyrule Castle.

  [Revali scoffs in annoyance] 

  Daruk : You can count on us for support, but it's up to you to pound Ganon into oblivion!

  Urbosa : Come. We should go. We need to get you someplace safe.

  Princess Zelda : No! I am not a child anymore! I may not be much use on the battlefield, but there must... there must be something I can do to help!

• Great Deku Tree : [Link has just discovered the Master Sword sitting in its pedestal in the Korok Forest. The Great Deku Tree wakes up and yawns]  Who is that...? Did I doze off again? Hrm? Well, well... it's you. You finally decided to return. Better late than never. After 100 years, I'd nearly given up hope on seeing you again. Even my patience has limits, you know... That look on your face tells me that you have no recollection of me, however. I have watched over Hyrule since time immemorial. Many have referred to me over the ages as the Deku Tree. That is the weapon created by the ancient Goddess. The sword that seals the darkness - that only the chosen knight can wield against the Calamity Ganon. Believe it or not, it was actually you who wielded that sword 100 years ago. But I must warn you to take extreme caution. The sword stands as a test to anyone who would dare attempt to possess it. As you are now, I cannot say whether you are worthy or not...

  [behind Link, two Koroks act out a mock sword-pulling, with a small stick standing in for the Master Sword. The brown one tries to pull it out, but can't, and falls over backward. The green one "cries" and shakes in mock shock] 

  Great Deku Tree : If you sought to free the sword in any sort of weakened state, you would surely lose your life where you stand.

  [the Tree laughs deeply] 

  Great Deku Tree : Best of luck, young one...

• Revali : [Divine Beast Vah Medoh has been taken control of again by Rito champion Revali's spirit, and as it points its laser at Hyrule Castle in preparation for the final strike, Revali stands on top of Medoh looking out at Hyrule]  After all these years, I simply must admit the truth. Even without the power of flight, Link made his way to this Divine Beast and accomplished something that even I could not. Guess I was wrong about... how lucky he would be. I hope that luck holds out, Link... For everyone's sake.

• Princess Zelda : [in a flashback to the time when Zelda proclaimed Link to be her personal knight]  Hero of Hyrule, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness. You have shown unflinching bravery and skill in the face of darkness and adversity, and have proven yourself worthy of the blessings of the Goddess Hylia. Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight, the sacred blade is forever bound to the soul of the Hero. We pray for your protection, and we hope that... that the two of you will grow stronger together, as one.

  [Zelda takes a long pause to collect her thoughts] 

  Princess Zelda : Forged in the long distant past, the sword that seals the darkness...

  [fades out under Daruk's speech] 

  Daruk : [to Revali, gathered with the rest of the Champions]  Gee, this is uplifting. She's making it sound like we already lost.

  Revali : Wasn't this your idea? You're the one who wanted to designate the appointed knight with all the ceremonial pomp, grandeur, and nonsense we could muster! And if you ask me, the whole thing does seem to be overkill. I think I'm on the same page as the princess regarding... this boy.

  Urbosa : Oh, give it a rest. That boy is a living reminder of her own failures. Well, at least that's how the princess sees him.

• Princess Zelda : [in a flashback, Zelda is covered in dirt and lays the Master Sword on its pedestal in the Korok Forest at the base of the Great Deku Tree]  Your master will come for you. Until then, you shall rest safely here. Although the Slumber of Restoration will most certainly deprive him of his memories, please trust me when I say that I know he will arrive before you yet again.

  Great Deku Tree : [interrupting her prayer]  If I may be so bold... what is it that you are planning to do next, Princess?

  Princess Zelda : The Master Sword... I heard it speak to me. It seems that my role is unfinished. There is still something I must do.

  Great Deku Tree : I sense there is great strength in your dedication.

  Princess Zelda : Great Deku Tree, I ask of you, when he returns, can you please relay this message... Tell him I...

  Great Deku Tree : Now, then... Words intended for him would sound much better in the tones of your voice, don't you think?

  Princess Zelda : [smiling with her hands clasped]  Yes.

  [Zelda places the Master Sword straight down into its pedestal] 

  Great Deku Tree : [in the present, Link swings the sword a few times and then places it in its scabbard on his back]  What you just saw happened where you stand 100 years ago... After you were separated from the sword, the princess thought to bring it here, where she knew that it would be safe under my watch. She continues to fight, trapped deep within the confines of Hyrule Castle. Her heart cascades with faith that you will return. She has a smile like the sun. I would do much to feel its warmth upon me once again.

• King of Hyrule : [in a DLC flashback, at the ceremony in the throne room to commemorate the Champions of the Divine Beasts; all four Champions, Zelda, Link, and attendants or guards from each of the five races in Hyrule are in the room, with the King and his personal guards on a higher balcony]  Welcome, warriors! I'd like to thank you for joining me here today, and for your bravery in accepting this... fateful task. I officially appoint you Hyrule's Champions and bestow upon you this sacred garb. That blue is a symbol of the Royal Family, one that has been passed down for countless generations. Those garments you now wear were all crafted by my daughter, Zelda. Zelda. I trust you with the task only a daughter of the royal family can fulfill. Lead our Champions, Princess. And together, protect our kingdom from the threat of Calamity Ganon.

  [outside, fireworks explode] 

  Daruk : [later on, the Champions, Link, and Zelda gather at a gazebo on one of the lower areas outside the castle, but still on its grounds]  I tell ya, those formal shindigs really take it outta me.

  Revali : [examining the Sheikah Slate Zelda holds, he takes it from her hands]  Hmph. This is the Sheikah Slate, eh?

  Princess Zelda : It is. Apparently there are more uses for it than we originally thought. Sadly, we've yet to decipher all of its secrets.

  [Revali places the slate in Mipha's hands] 

  Urbosa : [leaning down to get a closer look at it]  The princess showed me something strange recently. Somehow it can create true-to-life images.

  Mipha : Oh, wow. I would love to see it. Um, Princess... May I ask a special favor of you?

  [she looks over at Link, and Revali follows her gaze. Daruk, standing near Link, looks at him too] 

  Purah : [a short time later, an off-screen Purah directs everyone into place for a photo]  All right! This spot should work nicely.

  [Zelda looks unsure of herself, but very proper] 

  Purah : Keep your eyes on the Sheikah Slate, everyone!

  [Daruk looms large behind everyone; Revali stands off to the left, disinterested. Mipha is off to the right and very stiff and nervous. Urbosa's arms are crossed as she stares directly into the lens. Link similarly looks at the lens with a steely gaze] 

  Purah : Daruk, can you crouch down a bit? You're as big as Death Mountain.

  [Revali changes position and puts his arms down at his side while turning away from everyone; Link and Zelda look up at Daruk. Daruk crouches down] 

  Purah : What's with the glum face, Princess? Gimme a big smile!

  [Mipha looks back at Daruk, shuffles closer to the center, and resumes her stiff pose. Revali sighs with exasperation. Urbosa relaxes a bit and adjusts her position, arms still crossed, but slightly smiling] 

  Purah : Revali, move your tail closer to the group.

  Revali : Ugh, fine.

  Purah : Mipha, you look so tense. Deep breaths, okay?

  Mipha : Right!

  [she does some breathing exercises, and then resumes her pose from before, only slightly more relaxed. During all this, Daruk surveys the group with a concerned face. Everyone is much more nicely posed now, and closer together] 

  Purah : Stay just like that! Here we go! Smile...

  [Daruk, looking slightly down while thinking, suddenly grins with an idea] 

  Purah : Click, snap!

  [at the moment Purah takes the picture, Daruk pulls everyone together in a bear hug, causing mild chaos as Revali and Mipha are caught off guard by his large arms, thrust forward into the picture with shock. Urbosa smiles down at Zelda, who is likewise surprised, and Link seems like he doesn't know what just happened. Daruk has the biggest grin of them all]
