#... maybe ill redesign her too but that might make alot of people angry again

[ganondoodle]

random sudden thought; what if i had ganondorf not kill the queen for her enigma stone, but the king instead ...

considering how the zelda franchise is named after the important female character and yet they always get sidelined is kinda >_>

i feel like that would be a nice change of pace and further zeldas connection to the whole thing since her powers only get passed down to afab people in the bloodline

so the ancient king (rauru but might not be named as such) schemes to imprison ganondorf in a horryfying state between life and death in order to protect the world from the looming threat that he is bound to become according to the ancient texts he had found from ages long forgotten (the old titles), not knowing that acting on those misguided warnings of old would only lead to the exact thing he wanted to avoid-

gan finds out about it and through a carefully planned counterattack kills the king and takes his stone, perhaps he is planning to also seize some of the land for his people to be more independed of hyrules green lands (doing any kind of agriculture seems very hard to achieve in the gerudo desert and they have been kept on a 'short leash' by hyrule bc they knew the gerudo were dependend on their trade)

the queen however does not take the death of her husband well and wages a war, both to prevent any of her land falling into gans hands AND as revenge for the kings death; she takes it as proof that the warnings were true and gan needs to be defeated by all means necessary and rallies the rest of the sages around her, in the end trapping gan and sealing him away
