Narration

The following article is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.

Narrations are a mechanic in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.^[1]

Overview

Narrations are one of two types of cutscenes that play during Scenarios, the other being Movies. They are stylized depictions of events, displayed in an aesthetic similar to the Calamity Ganon Tapestry. They are voiced by King Rhoam until "Calamity Strikes". Starting from "Water and Fire (Part 1)", Zelda voices all further Narrations. They share their names with their respective Scenario. Once a Scenario is completed, its Narrations will appear on the Story menu in the Gallery.

The Guardian of Remembrance Downloadable Content pack adds nine new Narrations, which Purah and Robbie alternate voicing.

List of Narrations

Title	Description
"The Battle of Hyrule Field"	The Sheikah Slate conveyed the little Guardian's purpose. This anomalous visitor had traveled from a future of ruin⁠—a time in the midst of the Calamity⁠—to save Princess Zelda.
"Road to the Ancient Lab (Part 1)"	Zelda, curious about the diminutive Guardian, decided to accompany Impa on her journey to Purah's research facility. With Link acting as bodyguard, they made their way to the Ancient Tech Lab.^{[note 1]}
"Road to the Ancient Lab (Part 2)"	To stop Calamity Ganon, it was crucial that they possess the sword that seals the darkness, the latent power dwelling within the princess of Hyrule, and the might of the four Divine Beasts unearthed from across the land.
"Mipha, the Zora Princess"	The long-lived Zora, who could traverse rivers and lakes with ease, lived in Lanayru at a resplendent place dubbed Zora's Domain.
"Daruk, the Goron Hero"	The rugged Gorons live in Goron City, a town carved into Death Mountain. They were forged in volcanic heat, their bodies as hard as stone.
"Revali, the Rito Warrior"	The Rito resided in a settlement on the Tabantha Frontier. These feathery folk were blessed with the ability to glide along the wind, and they were adept with bow and arrow.
"Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief"	The Gerudo lived in a settlement in the Gerudo Desert. Comprised entirely of woman, they were a tribe of great might and nobility.
"The Yiga Clan Attacks!"	With that, the four Divine Beasts were assembled with their pilots. Training began in earnest, and the plan to defeat Hyrule's enemies began to coalesce.
"Freeing Korok Forest"	The King issued his first order to the Divine Beast Pilots―seek out the knight who could wield the sword that seals the darkness. This would require that they vanquish the monsters in Korok Forest, where the legendary blade slept.
"The Road Home, Besieged (Part 1)"	With the discovery of the knight who seals the darkness, hope spread among the people of Hyrule. Yet unease lingered in the princess's heart. No matter how much she devoted herself to training and research, doubts plagued her.
"The Road Home, Besieged (Part 2)"	The pilots of the Divine Beasts and the knight with the key to defeating Calamity Ganon... In a grand ceremony, these five heroes convened, and King Rhoam bestowed upon each the title of Champion.

"When Courage Fails"	Records derived from the friendly Guardian indicated that Calamity Ganon would return on Zelda's 17th birthday. Desperate to preempt this grim future, King Rhoam ordered his daughter to train at the Spring of Courage.
"Calamity Strikes"	All of the countermeasures to Calamity Ganon were in place―except one. The princess had not yet awakened her sealing power. In hopes of preventing her kingdom's destruction, Zelda resolved to train at the Spring of Wisdom.
"Water and Fire (Part 1)"	Having witnessed images of the Divine Beasts under the control of Calamity Ganon, the party hurried to the Champions, praying it was not too late.

"The Great Plateau"	At long last, Zelda's true power had awakened.
"All Hyrule, United"	In an attempt to assuage the damage of Calamity Ganon, the Zora, Gorons, Rito, Gerudo, and Yiga Clan united with the remnants of King Rhoam's forces. All of them gathered their strength and assembled on Hyrule Field.
