  Which version of Ganon/dorf is your favorite? I honestly can't choose - it's a tie between WW and OOT for me :_banditThonk:

  I hope we get some depth like this for Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom. It would serve as an excellent contrast to the seemingly mindless mass of malice that was Calamity Ganon.

  I always took Ganondorf saying the 'wind is blowing' as the winds of his home, bringing nothing but death to him and his people. He came so close to his goal, only to have it snatched away and brought to his end once again by those uncaring winds. That was the moment that cemented my love for Ganondorf as a character, not just a villain- even if he had good intentions, in the end he is destined to fail time and again due to no fault of his own. He is cursed by Demise more so than Link and Zelda in my opinion.

  I always thought that the Helmroc king was a magically enhanced Cucco, just based on its face and chicken-like comb. (Comb is what that weird fleshy thing on chicken heads is called.) So when the Helmroc King kidnaps link's sister, he's probably thinking, "This is revenge for when your ancestor smacked my grandma that one time!"

  What I learned was that ganondarf matured. I never really thought about it when I played it before. But it makes him more relatable. We can all sympathize with him in a sense. Always having something he longed for near enough for him to experience it, but far out of his reach that he should not have it as his own. It kinda makes me mad at the king and his wish. Who knows, maybe this mature version of ganondarf, after receiving hyrule as his own kingdom, would’ve have been a good king. Something to think about.<br><br>(Edit) thanks for all the likes, and I get it. Ganon was still evil. Lol

  this ganon is by far my favorite, he just feels so human and in the end he technically got what he wanted. to feel the wind of hyrule. he wanted the best for his people but by the time he has the triforce, they&apos;re gone. there was nothing left for him other than the wind he so desired. so in the end, i think he was honestly happy with his defeat. because the last thing he felt, was the thing he wanted all along. the winds of hyrule.

  I kinda thought that when Ganondorf said that the wind was blowing, he meant the wind of his own desert homeland. A wind that brought nothing but death, meaning he knew his own death was upon him then.

  I think Ganon using a puppet version of himself was a sign of his newfound maturity. He knew that transforming himself could be risky, since it means to channel his full wrath and just go completely hog wild. So rather than gamble on losing himself to his anger and being bested by Link, he conjures the puppet both as a safer means of trying to subdue Link and get the Triforce of Courage, but also a test as he had grown to admire his new adversary, who greatly embodied the same kind of spirit as the Hero of Time, even this wasn&apos;t a proper reincarnation of his old foe. In a similar way, the Blights from Breath of the Wild may have been whatever fragment of Ganon&apos;s mind using puppet-like proxies to carry out his bidding. Which would fit with how the final battle in that game has Zelda mention that Ganon has given up at that moment trying to restore his body and is just throwing a &quot;to heck with everything&quot; tantrum.

  The Forbidden woods was actually the Kokiri forest. If you look &nbsp;throughout the dungeon, familiar stumps can be seen. And the one holding the boss key is Saria&apos;s house.

  wait...Ganondorf has a a LAST NAME?! <br><br>Anywho, Wind Waker&apos;s Gandondorf is my favorite. He has the most character in this game, I feel. I just...really like how sad his story is.

  OoT was what drew me in, but Wind Waker was the game the won my heart as a 10 year old kid. The feeling of discovery and adventure is unmatched and the music is some of the best in the series, what a beautiful work of art.

  Helmaroc King wasn&apos;t corrupted, Ganondorf just has birdseed up his giant sleeves.
