Oft grasped in the palm of a villainous hand.

A dark force of destruction, many times undone, Rises once again–Ganon, the calamitous one.

But hope survives in Hyrule, for all is not lost, Two brave souls protect it, no matter the cost.

A goddess-blood princess and a fearless knight, They appear in each age to fight the good fight.

Their battle with Ganon I've committed to song, To keep it through time, no matter how long.

Now begins the second verse, listen and you'll know, Of their battle with Ganon 10,000 years ago.

The kingdom of Hyrule was once a land of lasting peace / A culture of such strength and wit, that suffering did cease.

But Ganon lurked beneath the surface, strengthening its jaws / So the ancient people of Hyrule set out to help the cause.

Their efforts bore fruit in an automated force, To help avert Calamity by sealing it at its source.

Four giant behemoths for which power never ceased, Each of these titans was called a "Divine Beast."

And free-willed machines that hunted down their prey / These Guardians were built to last so they could join the fray.

To guide the beasts in battle, warriors were needed, So four Champions were pledged to see Ganon defeated.

Divine Beasts, Champions, princess, and knight, Their plan to rout Ganon was looking airtight.

And when Calamity Ganon reared its head, Hyrule rose against it / The optimism of Hyrule all the more incensed it.

Ganon raged in its assault, boiling with hate, It gnashed its teeth and thrashed about, but it was all too late.

The Guardians kept the heroes safe through every hour... The Divine Beasts unleashed attacks that weakened Ganon's power.

The hero with the sealing sword struck the final blow, And the holy power of the princess sealed Ganon so.

And that is the story of the brazen attack, On Calamity Ganon 10,000 years back.''
