Corrupted Dreams

Ten thousand years ago, the Guardians and Divine Beasts were created to stand with the people of Hyrule in their battle against Calamity Ganon alongside the knight who would seal the darkness and the legendary princess. They were among the Sheikah's greatest achievements-autonomous weapons of great power and unparalleled might. With the Sheikah's help, Hyrule was saved from their crisis.

But there was one scientist among the Guardians' creators who saw more to their power. They were twisted, known for their wicked experimentation and their terrifying ideas. It was said that one day, the madness completely consumed them, forcing the queen to step in and put an end to their crimes. She was successful, and for a time, it seemed it was all over.

Ten thousand years later, Princess Zelda joins Purah and Robbie's ancient technology research team on their expedition to Thyphlo Ruins, a former research facility where the first Guardians were developed by the ancient Sheikah. Rumors and legends of the former director of the facility-the very same mad scientist killed by the Royal Family so long ago-were not enough to deter them. The wealth of secrets and knowledge of the ancient technology was just too important to ignore.

As the excavation goes underway, reports of a woman's voice calling out for help somewhere within the facility shake the team, and none can hear it better than Princess Zelda. She follows it, until she and her companions find the entrance to the old facility.

But she and her friends all disappear inside.

And whatever the scientist left behind is still there.
