wind waker ganon thoughts?
it has been. Checks notes. yeah ten years since i played wind waker so im very rusty on my ganondorf knowledge in that game ngl,,
i WILL say i like that they gave him actual, genuine motivation (that being to help the gerudo out of the desert) and i wiiiish they would SHOW THAT more OFTEN. an interesting note abt the triforce trio is how their roles almost always superscede their intentions or wants or situations and no matter what they do they always end up as knight, princess, or villain respectively. like. botw zelda wants to be a researcher and a scientist and puts so much energy into it bc she thinks theres no other way, but she ends up as the princess with the sealing power trapped with the villain anyway. oot link is just a kid who wants to do the right thing, but she HAS to be the hero with the sword, so shes literally made into one. i wish we had something for ganondorf like that-- like, it starts with wanting good things for the gerudo and negotiations and treaties, and it ends with him deciding to burn it all to the ground because he *has* to, its in his blood and its etched into the back of his hand just as much as link and zeldas roles are to them. and suddenly its not, "i resent hyrule for what they did to my people," its "i want all of hyrule to burn and suffer because its what it deserves." but nintendo is allergic to doing anything interesting or compelling with ganondorf so :/
#like in totk its implied he just flat out does not care about the gerudo at all. hes all the willing to force them into underground shelters#and plague them with sandstorms and undead hellspawn just to prevent ONE OF THEM from siding with link#idk maybe it wouldve been cool to like. go to gerudo desert. and see thst nothings plaguing them. At first.#and then u go to that big building that houses riju and the guards. and buliaria is standing in front of the chair#she tells you riju is unavailable and shell be back soon and that for now you have to answer to her#and you go into the guard barracks and you find out theres a search for riju that started with the upheaval and that#everyone is hiding the fact that they dont know where she is. and the quest involves link finding her and awakening her sage abilities#and in doing so we're told directly that ganondorf only attacked riju because he didnt want all of the gerudo to suffer when only one could#Its still ruthless. but itd give him a little character yk#and if nintendo wants to keep thar structure where a majority of side quests are locked until u finish the main one of an area.#Say theres like... a festival... and riju is crucial to it... and so a bunch of stores n shit are closed until she comes back and it happens#and in the meantime u can have merchants and teachers or whatever be like. My business will suffer if riju doesnt come back!#wherever could she be!!#idk they couldve done better than one throwaway line about 'i cant believe hed attack his own people he really is terrible huh. Anyways'
