Is there any creature that scares them?

Before the Calamity, Zelda's greatest joy was the Sheikah technology.

From the moment the assemblage of Divine Beasts were excavated, to the first time Robbie had shown her the inner chamber of a Guardian— She was utterly enraptured. They had been Zelda's one hope for defeating Ganon after her powers failed to activate. And yet, they were the fatal flaw to Hyrule's seemingly imminent downfall.

After being corrupted, the ancient Sheikah automations managed to lay siege upon not just her kingdom, but those dearest to Zelda. They had taken more lives than Calamity Ganon himself.

The first time Zelda laid eyes on the deactivated Guardians, dotted on the perimeter of Hyrule Castle as Ganon's fallen soldiers, she felt nothing but scorn. When reintroduced to Robbie, Zelda couldn't meet his eyes as she vehemently refused to help him dissect those leftover. She couldn't forget the feeling of their searing lasers, bare skin inches away from the crossfire. She'd never forget the feeling of Link's limp body in her arms. She wouldn't forget. And she would never touch another Guardian.

Not again.
