Do The legend of zelda heroes good to most good

[@JustAWildSkullKid]

Ahh, for me, the #1 spot will always go to Majora. 1) It's a freaking deity, only limited by the power of those who wear it's mask. 2) It doesn't want power for itself, or the Triforce or any of that. It consciously wants pure distraction, going as far as possessing an imp to get it, just for the sake of it. It has no allies rather than itself, it doesn't care about anything rather than it's ultimate goal of destruction.

[@emmik946]

And it Russian dances (Stage 2, Majora’s incarnation)

[@JustAWildSkullKid]

@Mike fuller cooking tutorials yeah but you see, Demise wanted the Triforce, he wanted it's power. Demise is evil for a reason and with an ultimate purpose. Majora is evil because...yes, I like the explanation that they want to destroy Termina as a sort of revenge for being sealed away, but other than that it seems that Majora is evil for no reason. They never say why. And they also don't have an ultimate goal. They never mention any plan for after the world is destroyed. And that's why I like them more.

[@JustAWildSkullKid]

@Mike fuller cooking tutorials I don't believe Demise to be the source of Majora as I believe that Termina is not really affected by what's going on in Hyrule, not to that extent at least. Also yes, probably if you compare the two Demise could maybe be more powerful than Majora, but again, I don't think he's more evil. Demise wants, from what I could understand because I didn't play Skyward Sword, to rule the world and claim the Triforce, he wants to be the most powerful being ever. Majora doesn't want that, they fight for nothing but death. They never mention that they want to be powerful or rule, they just want to destroy everything. Of course this is a viewpoint but still. Also Majora didn't really manage to get any allies, even their own people ran away in fear. SkullKid is just possessed. Yeah, maybe another reason why I like Majora so much is that the whole "I put a mask on and now I'm a disposable individual" reminds me a lot of the power dwelling inside Sauron's Ring (the similarities end there, Sauron is more like a Demise kind of guy).

[@zay2k539]

@Mike fuller cooking tutorials yes I would give him probably silver medal of evil but at least wasn’t trying to ‘kill’ everyone for no reason rather just wanting power.

Skull kid is implied to have supposed to have attacked Link in Twilight Princess. Hence why the Master Sword is the Woods and he _leads Link to it._ Same deal with why he attacks Adult Link in OoT- Adults are *not* supposed to be in the Lost Woods inside Kokiri Forest. If they are, it means they're looking for something. Which would usually be: The Deku Tree. The Sage of Winds/Forest. The Spiritual Stone.

[@forrestnohria]

Not gonna lie, Vaati should've been in the godlike villains. He absorbed the light force, granting him limitless power. He also took the magic cap which has the power to grant wishes whoever possess it. But yes he got less powerful later on in the series but still, Vaati in Minish Cap is a whole other level.

[@LordMalice6d9]

Vaati at least in his Minish Cap incarnation is definitely in the Godlike villains category. He inexplicably gets weaker and less threatening in the other games he appears in.

[@azazelreeds]

Even in his weaker forms Vaati is straight up harder to kill than Ganon. Any sacred sword works on Ganon, but you need the Four Sword specifically to hurt Vaati

[@AvvyDatura]

Yuga should be too. He pulled a Hijacked by Ganon ON Ganon himself. If that isn't godlike, I don't know what else is. Plus he would've won right when he put Link on that wall near the beginning of the game if not because of Ravio giving Link the bracelet.

Regarding Yuga, I think there's a bit of 'The Mind is a plaything of the body' going on, seeing as soon as he fuses with Ganon, he becomes obsessed with Link and ruling the world. White it's possible it was his plan all along, fusing with Ganon did nothing for his mental state.

38:48 Not true. As mentioned by the Essence of the Triforce at the end of the game, and by a monster tree you can talk to in the Dark World to the east-northeast of the Pyramid of Power, Ganondorf's wish was to rule the world.

[@zanttwilik72]

Overall good list, and I can understand giving Demise the top spot just for sheer scope of his influence on the rest of the series...but at the same time once we finally see him he comes off as almost honorable, willing to not only grant Link a chance to face him but creating/making a portal to a new plane for their fight so it would not damage Hyrule and allowing Link to take as long as he needs to prepare for the fight, as opposed to the sheer chaotic malevolence of Majora who not only intended to destroy a world, but seems to actively draw it out to feed on the despair of the inhabitants given it is made clear when the giants stop the moon he could have been 'pulling harder' for lack of a better way to put it and had the moon strike down faster. Add in the shattering of the Great Fairies, which honestly probably count as demigods in their own right, the sealing and corruption of the four guardian god giants, and the twisted mindset that sees all the havoc it has inflicted on Termina as a mere game, which begs the question of what it being serious would look like, rambled a bit there, but point is, if we are ranking by raw evil, I would put Majora at gold, or at worst silver if you are upping Demise due to being technically responsible for all Ganondorf/Ganons as Ganon only wanted to rule the world not destroy it for sadistic amusement/some sort of power boost, really is unclear what it gains from blowing up Termina, which is part of the intrigue I suppose for me.

I just had an idea for a Legend of Zelda RTS: The Good campaign is a normal war between Ganondorf's armies and it ends with him being sealed away.

But it could easily give us a whole game that gives us a massive backstory for Ganondorf. It could be like Battle for Middle Earth.

Notes and my Opinions I made while watching the vid: I don’t know how accurate these sound because I have only looked into the lore of some canon zelda games but not others (an example of this would be like Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask, both to an extent-there’s always more to learn and speculate about) -I’m surprised that you didn’t mention Dorian from botw for the low lvl villains category but I also get that he’s also kinda a minor character in botw’s world as opposed to skullkid -I’m also surprised that you included age of calamity in this, mostly due to the whole debate about the game being canon -Another thing that I wasn’t expecting was Vaati being in just the powerful villains list and not the godlike ones because of how he is in minish cap and how he ends up returning several times eventhough he’s less powerful -I’m tempted to argue about Giraham’s placement in powerful villains instead of godlike villains too considering how he was basically Demise’s right hand man servant sword and I would like to argue that he should be right under Demise if not closer to Denise’s placement (or at least farther up on the list) considering how his main appearance is in skyward sword showing how he’s been there since the beginning and how he toys with Link by sparing his life -I feel like Zant should be under Giraham in this list because of his actions and how he was manipulatived by Ganondorf vs those who willingly side by Demise such as Giraham ?-Ganondorf should probably be higher with his placement on the list due to him being an incarnation of Demise -I feel like Calamity Gamon should be higher on the Godlike villains list because of how the Calamity is “pure malice incarnate” aka straight hatred and how long and the amount of damage it did to botw’s Hyrule considering that by the time we play as link after being in the shrine of resurrection for 100 yrs that it’s an apocalyptic kind of setting (not quite as thrust in your face as a whole moon about to fall on termina but still pretty apocalyptic) but still below Demise himself(my opinion). Oh yeah, it also went over to age of calamity’s timeline to try to raise hell there too. (I unfortunately don’t know much about seasons and ages so I don’t know how much weight this holds, I do know that the ganon in those games wasn’t an intelligent ganon possibly due to twinrova making a jank revival meaning he was kinda just angrily swinging around a trident at link but his physical strength and hatre does make him a dangerous entity, just not enough to be more powerful than the calamity bc of what I stated earlier in this note) -I would argue about shadow links placement due to how he was by Ganon’s side vs smth like the calamity however he is a reflection of the hero and released Vaati so he is some kind of powerful entity -I would like to greatly argue about Majoras placement here,-this dude raised hell on Termina and was sealed away in the mask by the tribe that worshipped him bc they were scared of him and what he could’ve done if he was not sealed, hell we saw everything he did in Termina as just the mask, using Skull Kid as his puppet and we are given the Fierce Deity mask that gives us, link the power of a Dark God in order to fight Majora on even ground to save Termina (or we can just fight him as the hero of time and the fact that we can do that as a literal child makes me wonder about the hero of time’s power levels and is lowkey terrifying to me). Majora is mischievous and deranged and a deity to be feared almost as much as Demise himself.

[@thajocoth]

18:27 - The Nightmares don't really belong on this list. Every action of theirs was self defense. The worst thing they ever did was kidnap BowWow, so maybe at the very beginning of the list for that? Link destroyed their entire realm & everyone in it in the end, killing even those who helped him complete his quest. If anyone from Link's Awakening belongs on this list... It's Link. The logic of dreams being temporary doesn't hold up, as Koholint is shown to be more than just a dream. Each individual has their own personal memories and goals. The Nightmares are capable of the self preservation instinct to not want to die. Marin is capable of wishing to be a seagull & being curious about other places. They're more sentient than characters would be who're just in a dream. They also do things even when they're not in the spotlight, something dream characters wouldn't be capable of (like when Marin played her song to the Windfish). Just because this dimension is technically a dream, that doesn't make it any less of a valid alternate dimension as any other, or the murders of its inhabitants any less of a murder. (For Link that is. Not for the human player. It is absolutely still a video game.)

So well said

[@revolvingworld2676]

Yes but the Nightmares are *technically* responsible for creating Kohalint by forcing the fish to sleep in the first place.

[@ElekiSerket]

He did befriend Skull Kid in that timeline, he did it in the past before going to the future. Couldn't have been after returning to the past because Zelda immediately told him to leave Hyrule after returning to his child era, and he went to the Lost Woods, so if Link befriended him there then Skull Kid would've recognized him in right away in MM, as they would've met like an hour prior or maybe just minutes, so it doesn't add up. I think adult Link is attacked in OoT because either the Skull Kid doesn't recognize him (to be fair, Mido doesn't recognize him either, so it's feasible) or maybe it's not the same SK, since we know of at least 3 of them in OoT, so there could be more.

I love Spirit Tracks, but it always make me think who the true villain was here. Because, I mean, Zelda ancestors arrived to this new land and claimed it for themselves, chasing out the original inhabitant, Malladus. Was it really evil for trying to get its home back and punishing the invaders? Uhm... I don't think so. Also, I can't believe that in a rank of evil characters you didn't include Bongo Bongo! O_O And I don't mean him as a temple boss, but long before that. He was a human, a mere standard human, that didn't even have the excuse of being a demon or a monster or being controlled. For his terrible evil acts, Bongo Bongo had his hands cut off and punished horribly through torture for a long time. Not even after death he was allowed rest, turning into the shadow boss of the temple that was his PRISON, not his domain. I simply cannot imagine what heinous actions he may have done to deserve it all...

Suga is the most loyal subject of kohga. In the dlc he is a playable character and he's the strongest character in the game besides battle tested guardian. Those two are dlc characters and are the strongest in the game. You unlock sooga by not letting a single yiga member drop below half health/die. If you succeed sooga will appear and you can use him against a blight. And he wipes the floor with it. And then he becomes unlocked.
