Okay SO I am thinking of a bunch of 'killed' Ganons, stuck together, and there WILL be plot but im still banging it out.
Anyways. Im calling this clusterfuck my Ganondrum. You know.. like. A conundrum. Yeah.
Windwaker Ganon is the most recent one killed and he wants to be killed again than deal with whatever the fuck is going on here.
Im thinking pig Ganon slips into Ye Olde English a little bit here and there?
Also can you guess which ganon it is that likes to lurk in the castle? Just guess. I promise its Juicy.

For #GuineaPigAppreciationDay, the two earliest examples I've found of guinea pigs in the European visual record:
1. Painting attributed to Giovanni da Udine, n.d., artist active early 1500s to death in 1564
2. Drawing from the Felix Platter album, collected sometime between 1546-54
Attributed to Giovanni da Udine (Italian, 1487–1564)
Head of a Guinea Pig
oil on canvas laid on panel
6.5 x 7 in. (16.5 x 17.8 cm.)
From Duke's Fine Art Auction catalog, 11th April 2013, Lot 215
Drawing collected by Felix Platter, to be used in Gessner's Historiae animalium. The drawings were made by several artists, mostly anonymous, and were collected between 1546 and 1558 (this one must date to no later than 1554 as it served as a reference for Gessner's woodcut published that year). Bijzondere collectie Universiteit van Amsterdam collection.

Found at Savers in Los Angeles, California. I did buy this huge, handmade piggy bank. It’s signed and dated to 1977.

Beans but it’s just an unfathomable amount of guinea pigs.
I might airbrush this on a shirt or use it for a sketchbook cover. Both sound really cute, but I haven’t airbrushed in ages.
