EDITOR'S NOTE: I started this project back in April 2023 when the first (technically second) reveal of Ganondorf in the trailer went up. I had planned to have this out before TOTK came out and WELP look how that turned out. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't play the game until I finished this animation meaning I literally have no idea what happens on the story and if i got anything wrong or inaccurate to the game then well there's your answer. Please enjoy while I FINALLY get to play this game now.

[@DesTr069]

Have fun!!

[@evilded2]

Yet you managed to predict the plot perfectly.

It was about get afraid of him Nintendo, not get thirsty for him. I just love how this slowly went from a serious deep plot to just showing off Ganondorf's good traits. The ending sold it, it was priceless.

[@thefirstcurse3123]

Good traits to some I guess. He's still evil incarnate and jokes aside shouldn't be found attractive at all. He's meant to look like an intimidating monster, and his body reflects that.

[@Ijustusethistocommentstuff]

@@thefirstcurse3123 Like that stops the internet. Look up any FNAF character on Deviantart, literally any of them, and you'll find some sort of weird art of them. Other examples include Lady D from RE8, Bill Cypher(HE IS LITERALLY A FUCKING TRIANGLE, AS WELL. HOW THE FUCK DID ANYBODY THIRST OVER THE FUCKING PYRAMID?), and Makima from Chainsaw Man.
