==History==
The two Legendary Pokémon are believed to have been born from a place far beyond the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Some believe Zacian and Zamazenta are siblings, others believe that the two are rivals. For eons, the Legendary heroes have lived in the [[Galar]] [[region]], protecting it from outside threats, but while the region is safe, both reside in an ancient altar deep within the Slumbering Weald in the form of statues in the middle of a lake.


==History==
3000 years ago, as the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Eternatus}} awakened and caused the cataclysmic [[Darkest Day]], Zacian and Zamazenta awakened as well to protect the region with the help of [[Ancient Galarian kings|two young humans]]. In the end of the battle, the four succeeded in taking down the Gigantic Pokémon, forcing it into another slumber and causing pieces of its body imbued with its power to rain down throughout Galar in the form of [[Wishing Piece|Wishing Pieces]] and [[Wishing Star|Wishing Stars]].
The two Legendary Pokémon are believed to have been born from a place far beyond the [[Slumbering Weald]]. They are described as being the heroes of the Galar region that worked alongside the two kings of Galar to save the region from the rampage of {{p|Eternatus}} during the [[Darkest Day]], before becoming statues and disappearing into the Slumbering Weald. The two were eventually forgotten by history, their role in the Darkest Day being attributed to a pair of human heroes instead.


==In the core series games==
After the end of the Darkest Day, the two youths were crowned as the region's new kings, however, as time went on, Zacian and Zamazenta were forgotten by history, causing other alternate stories to arise: like one where a single hero with a sword and shield defeat all gigantic Pokémon and one where two youths find a sword and a shield and use it to undo the Darkest Day, being then crowned as kings.
===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the truth behind the legend was discovered by Sonia, with the help of the {{player}} and their [[friend]] and [[rival]], Hop. The truth of the legend was eventually published in a book, and became a point of contention from two brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who claim to be descendants of the old kings.

Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta battling Eternamax Eternatus

The legendary heroes,[1][2][3] also known as the Legendary Warrior Pokémon,[4][5] are a duo of Legendary Pokémon consisting of Zacian and Zamazenta. The legendary heroes are also referred to as the hero duo by fans. The duo plays a major role in both the main story and post-game of Pokémon Sword and Shield. They reside in the Galar region.

In their Crowned forms, Zacian and Zamaenta are the game mascots of Pokémon Sword and Shield, respectively, on top of sharing a secondary type in Steel and the category of "Warrior Pokémon".

History

The two Legendary Pokémon are believed to have been born from a place far beyond the Slumbering Weald. Some believe Zacian and Zamazenta are siblings, others believe that the two are rivals. For eons, the Legendary heroes have lived in the Galar region, protecting it from outside threats, but while the region is safe, both reside in an ancient altar deep within the Slumbering Weald in the form of statues in the middle of a lake.

3000 years ago, as the Legendary Pokémon Eternatus awakened and caused the cataclysmic Darkest Day, Zacian and Zamazenta awakened as well to protect the region with the help of two young humans. In the end of the battle, the four succeeded in taking down the Gigantic Pokémon, forcing it into another slumber and causing pieces of its body imbued with its power to rain down throughout Galar in the form of Wishing Pieces and Wishing Stars.

After the end of the Darkest Day, the two youths were crowned as the region's new kings, however, as time went on, Zacian and Zamazenta were forgotten by history, causing other alternate stories to arise: like one where a single hero with a sword and shield defeat all gigantic Pokémon and one where two youths find a sword and a shield and use it to undo the Darkest Day, being then crowned as kings.

Henry and Casey encountered them in the Slumbering Weald, though their attempt to fight the two Pokémon off revealed that they were merely illusions. After promising he wasn't going to steal anything, they were able to simply walk through the illusions.

Following Eternatus's awakening, Zacian and Zamazenta appeared in Hammerlocke in GRRR!! The Irrepairable Gears. Upon them attacking Eternatus together with Giga Impact, a bright burst of light ensued, following which all three Legendary Pokémon had disappeared, along with Henry and the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield he had been holding.

In PASS41, the recovered artifacts were reclaimed by the returned Zacian and Zamazenta, who used them to turn into their Crowned forms. In PASS42, they resumed their battle against Eternamax Eternatus at the tower summit. They successfully defeated their opponent in the following chapter, ending the Darkest Day. They subsequently left, with people like Casey and Piers agreeing to name them as the true heroes instead of any human to avoid more people like Sordward and Shielbert from coming about.
