Things seemed tremendous for the Hylians they were well prepared for Ganon, however, when he returned, things didn't quite go as planned. The people brought the mechanical beasts back to life, and planned on using them to stop Ganon, when he inevitably returns. 9,900 years later, the Guardians and the Divine Beasts were rediscovered by the Hyrule under the command of King Rhoam. Ganon was defeated, and the Guardians eventually became lost and buried far underground. They were created by the thousands, to stop the powerful beast known as Ganon, along with the four Divine Beasts. The Guardians were crafted by the ancient people of Hyrule 10,000 years prior to the events of Breath of the Wild.
