Link learns from King Rhoam that 100 years prior, a great evil known as the Calamity Ganon rose up and laid waste to the kingdom and its people. The Old Man reveals himself as the spirit of the deceased King of Hyrule, King Rhoam.
After Link gets the spirit orbs, the Old Man appears, then mysteriously disappears, telling Link to meet him in the Temple of Time.
However, he first wants Spirit Orbs from nearby Shrines, in particular the Oman Au Shrine, Ja Baij Shrine, Owa Daim Shrine, and the Keh Namut Shrine. The Old Man promises Link his Paraglider, which is the only way to get down from the plateau. Link then meets an Old Man by a campfire. Link leaves the Shrine of Resurrection and looks out at Hyrule on top of the Great Plateau.
Link awakens from a deep slumber and a mysterious voice guides him to discover what has become of the ruined country of Hyrule Kingdom.
