Lore & Background
It does not reference Breath of the Wild, Divine Beasts, or the Great Calamity. The plot of Echoes of Wisdom: Zelda escapes imprisonment after being framed for causing rifts, repairs rifts with Tri, rescues Link from Ganon, and ultimately confronts the primordial evil Null, who created imposters and seeks the Triforce. The Tris are sent by the Golden Goddesses to repair rifts. No Champions or their order appear.
In Their Own Story
The source does not contain any narrative about a group called Champion's Order. The story it covers is that of Echoes of Wisdom: Zelda, framed for rifts that trap people in the Still World, escapes prison with Tri, uses the Tri Rod to create echoes, and travels Hyrule to repair rifts. She rescues the real Link from an imposter Ganon, learns Null created the rifts to break its seal, and defeats Null with Link's help. The Tris repair the rifts and return to the Goddesses. No Champions, Divine Beasts, or century-long stasis are mentioned.
