Link pelts Calamity Ganon with all the Ancient Arrows he saved up, blasting him with multiple BOOMs. Calamity Ganon: QUIT SPAMMING ANCIENT ARROWS ALREADY!!! Link: No!

DIVINE BEAST ANIT-CALAMITY GANON LASER FORMATION: FIRE!!! Calamity Ganon proceeds to be blasted by four lasers shot by off-screen Divine Beasts, reducing its HP by half. Link stares at the depleted health gauge with no visible emotion. Link: ... Yay...?
641 - Ganon's Hyrule Castle Tower 23: Double-Edged Laser
I argue that this is the biggest detriment to this fight

Scourge of Hurl Castle: CALAMITY GANON Link (looking at the camera, confused): So... Ganon is not a giant pig monster, but a giant Chronenburg monster?

Honestly, not a bad design

Link (looking back): All jokes aside, I think this is genuinely my favorite part of the game! I wonder how much more there- Link (facing forward): ... Oh hey. The Sanctum of Hyrule Castle stands directly in Link's path. Link: I'm already at the top.

A Guardian Turret watches as Link misses multiple arrows. After a while, a giant boulder CRASHes into the turret. Link (still holding a bow): Judge me how you will. Do you know how much time and effort it took just to buy a few dozen Ancient Arrows off of Robbie? So no, I will not "just use them" until I'm face to face with a certain calamity inducing pig monster! An Ancient Arrow deep in Link's inventory sweats a bit.
638 - Ganon's Hyrule Castle Tower 20: Priority Arrows
I think I only wound up using a handful of Ancient Arrows at the end...

A White-Maned Lynel stares down menacingly at Link. Link: Another white-mane. And no choice but to fight. Here goes nothing! Link: RAH!!! Link thrusts his sword into the Lynel's torso... ... and the monster proceeds to POP, spraying blood everywhere.

Link bats away an arrow fired by a Lynel with a CLANG and a "HA!!!" Then Link swiftly dodges a SWISH-ing Lynel Blade with a "HA!!!" And with a SNAP of his fingers, Link ZAPs the Lynel with Urbosa's Fury and a "YA-HA!!!"

Link (standing before a full bookcase): Holy damn! The Hyrulean royal library! So many books, such an abundance of knowledge I can access! Book #1 (located on some kind of pedestal) Book #2 (sitting on a stand) and that's it
633 - Ganon's Hyrule Castle Tower 15: Reading Rainbow

Zelda (speaking directly in Link's mind hole): Link, you have successfully recovered all of your memories. You have finally fully reawakened. Now's the time for you to fulfill your Destiney and come find me once again- Link (waving her off, annoyed): Okay, slow your roll, Princess! I still wanna beef this armor up a bit so I don't die on my way to save you, so wait a bit!

Link (triumphantly): ALRIGHT, I'VE MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN THE CASTLE SO FAR!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CALLS FOR!?! Link (slinking away from the castle): Leaving to upgrade my armor some more, cuz this place is still hard.

Excerpts from Zelda's Diary Dear diary, My father appointed Link as the Champion of Hyrule, and my body guard. He follows me everywhere, even when I don't want it, and he stares at me, menacingly. (depicted is a shot of Zelda freaking out at Link staring angrily at the back of her head) After he heroically (and sexily) saved me from some Yiga, I got him to open up. I found out he's actually quite a glutton: give him all of the food, and he's puddy in your hands! (depicted is a large Link happily eating mutton and burgers) He also told me his stares weren't meant to be menacing. He just feels an extreme amount of pressure to live up to his role as the hero who will wield the Master Sword against the calamity. (depicted is a very frazzled Link hearing the words "Just like your father! You'll save us all! Ocarina of Time is still the best!") Which I suppose isn't all that bad. After all, I have the expectations to master my mother's gifts to seal Calamity Ganon away that I have yet to figure out. I guess everyone has stress to deal with, lol. (depicted is a very frazzled Zelda hearing the words "Figure out the power! What's taking so long? Why can't you be more like Link?")

Link: These must be the notes Zelda put together for the Sheikah Slate. Any bits I haven't learned yet? Zelda's Notes: Purah helped me to figure out this strange device she calls the Sheikah Slate (dumb name, I know). Somehow, it can instantly capture moments of time and preserve them as pictures, without the need for an artist. Truly amazing! Zelda's Notes: She also told me there's reason to believe the power source may spontaneously combust, so we're trying to break it open to double check. Link (holding his duct taped Sheikah Slate in surprise): WAIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! I DID THAT AS A JOKE!!! WHY IS THIS A THING!!!

King Rhoam: Zelda! What are you doing here!? You should be out figuring your magic business out! Zelda: I'm working on it, Father! I just wanted to see if I could help with Guardian research! King Rhoam: That's none of your concern! Get your poop in a group! I'm sick of all the haters in town talking about us! Link (kneeling down and listening to the entire thing, uncomfortable as all hell): ... Yeah, I REALLY feel out of place with the whole family drama mess before me.

Stalnox (with a Traveler's Sword stuck in its eye): OW BRO, FUCK!!! Link (dully checking out a chest): Welp, the Stalnox was a fun distraction. Did he have anything good? DUH-NUH-NUH-NUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Link holds up (Wind Waker style) a Hylian Shield, staring in awe at its shiny and very high defense stat. Link: OH SHIT WHADDUP!!!

Link (observing a Bokoblin in a cell within the Hyrule Castle Dungeon): Why are Ganon's own minions in the dungeon cells? He owns the joint now! Shouldn't there be more people? Link proceeds to stare in silence at a skeleton chained to the wall in the back of a different cell.
618 - Ganon's Hyrule Castle Tower 8: Take All the Prisoner
I mean, if the Calamity happened while people were detained, there'd probably be at least some skeleton dust, y'know

Link (aiming a bow): If I'm going through the effort of saving Hyrule, I might as well clear out the excess Malice. Link (firing an arrow to clear out the Malice, where a Blue-Maned Lynel spawns in): ... Did this area become so much more menacing all of a sudden?

Link: It's imperative that I reach the center of Hyrule Castle and stop Calamity Ganon! Link (chilling in a hot spring): But I just need a minute to unwind in this conveniently placed hot spring! Korok (smoking a blunt): This is how you adventure, bitch!

Link (holding a dizzy Silver Bokoblin by the scruff): Okay, so I understand the final dungeon would be swarming with a ton of the strongest enemies. I was prepared for that. But what I was NOT prepared for- Link (turning towards the Royal Guard's Claymore, Royal Bow, Royal Shield, and Royal Guard's Spear): WAS ALL OF THESE AMAZING WEAPONS!!!

Late game levels means late game weapons!

Link (striking down a Silver Bokoblin): I used to be scared of these silver bros, but I guess killing a bunch of 'em made them easier to deal with. Link (as he's being targeted by a dozen Decayed Guardians): I guess this big bad final level will be easier to deal with than I thought.

Link (narrating over the Malice infested castle): In this ruinous hellscape of Malice and evil that used to be Hyrule Castle, you wouldn't think there'd be a safe respite to collect oneself. Link (calmly cooking in the middle of all the Malice): And yet here I am cooking a nice meal like it's no big whoop.

Link: Okay guys, I know I've been dicking around for way longer than I should be. Link: But I'm done now! I'm going straight to Hyrule Castle as we speak! No misdirection, no grinding, just diving into the final dungeon! Link: I realize you may still think that making a comic about how I'm going to Hyrule Castle rather than make one with me in Hyrule Castle is just stalling some more... Link stares into the camera absently, as if waiting for the audience for realize he isn't finishing the thought.

Link: Now that I'm finally dressed properly, I'm ready to storm Hyrule Castle and roast that Calamity Ganon on a spit! Link proceeds to be hit by an arrow from an off-screen foe, losing all but a quarter of his massive health.

Zelda (voice over, a visage of her overlooking a Malice infested Hyrule Castle): Link, all four Divine Beasts have been retaken, and are now targeting Hyrule Castle, ready to strike Calamity Ganon. The time has come at last for you to enter the castle and put an end to- Link (Sheikah Slate in hand): Whoa there, slow your roll, Princess! Everybody's made it clear I as the Champion need the Master Sword, so it's about damn time I get it! One step at a time please!

Love the sunken Hyrule Castle in Wind Waker, I need to play this game again!
King Rhoam: I suggest going east before you charging for Hyrule Castle, as that would be too reckless at this point. Link: But it is totally possible to get to the end game at this point, right? Y'know, for speed running reasons. King Rhoam: Well, theoretically yes, you could. But it would be extremely dangerous. As you are now, you are too ill prepared for such a risk. Link: Now I wouldn't underestimate my resourcefulness even this early in my adventure! Smash cut to a dead Link at Hyrule Castle, covered in wounds and blood and held up against a wall by a spear.
57 - Off to My Death
I still think one of these days, I should try replaying BotW and seeing how far I can get going straight to Hyrule Castle. Maybe if I ever decide to stream again.
