When the Calamity struck, they were stolen away.
Guardians are ancient machines created by the Sheikah, originally created to aid in the battle against Calamity Ganon. Most Guardians are under the control of Calamity Ganon and are scattered across Hyrule, attacking those who approach. Guardians that are not possessed by Calamity Ganon's Malice, such as those that reside within Ancient Shrines, in the Trial of the Sword, at Upland Zorana, and in the Final Trial, glow orange and blue instead of the pink that corrupted Guardians display.
As with other amiibo used with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, scanning the Guardian amiibo with the amiibo rune causes Guardian-related loot to fall from the sky. These items sometimes include Guardian pieces and weapons, as well as food and arrows.
