Editing Guardian (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'', Guardians can be found in various locations. Usually, they are alone or in small groups, but become increasingly concentrated close to [[Hyrule Castle]]. There are three primary types of Guardians, with the primary walking type being known as the '''Guardian Stalker'''.  There is also an upside-down flying type with a more flexible head called the '''Guardian Skywatcher''' and an immobile, rightside-up one resembling the Skywatcher, unique to the castle itself, called the '''Guardian Turret'''. Remains of Guardians, mostly Guardian Stalkers, can also be found across Hyrule and can be used to salvage ancient [[material]]s from, though some, called [[Decayed Guardian]]s, are still partially active. All active Guardians on the surface are controlled by Calamity Ganon and glow pink to represent the effects of his [[malice]]. In [[shrine]]s, small Guardians known as [[Guardian Scout]]s appear to test [[Link]], completely unaffected by malice. All Guardians are capable of firing explosive lasers, but they take several moments to charge.

As revealed in flashbacks, Guardians and the [[Divine Beast]]s were excavated in the time leading up to Calamity Ganon's return in hopes of using them to combat him as had been done a millenium prior. However, when he resurged he infected each with his malice, allowing him to lay waste to the land. Additionally, giant ancient stone pillars containing even more Guardians rose up around the castle, which the [[Hylian]]s had been unsuccessful in locating. The Guardians began crushing all opposition, leading to a climactic battle at [[Fort Hateno]] where many were successfully destroyed with help from [[Princess Zelda]]'s [[sealing power]] finally activating. However, the knight destined to seal the darkness, Link, was gravely injured and placed in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] to spend a century being restored.
