#he's in regular clothes and jewelry! there is zero sign in his corpse that he was ACTUALLY TRYING to cause harm

genuinely so angry about this. you gave us a red-maned man with a big ol nose in the botw tapestry only for it to just have been another little white boy? no ganon? no hero ganon? like i was really hoping he'd have been the chosen hero but demise's curse and all of his previous reincarnation history has doomed him into being seen as evil by the kingdom he saved, and his portrayal as a villain in TOTK would have been his rage after what the people he loved did to him. that would have made a very good story about fate and the harm hatred can do but no that isn't what we're getting. did i expect nintendo to go the classic "ganon is evil!" route? yes. am i happy that they did after 30+ years of "ganon is evil!" formula? no of fucking course. i want more insight on him as a person and his culture. i want more lore on how he feels as a gerudo male and how he feels being born into a curse or being born as someone history has always scorned. but we'll never get it and that kills me

#ganon rambles #rant #totk #totk spoilers #im soooooo upset #i just. i love ganon so much and every game he's watered down to big bad evil man just to focus on hylian culture #and hylia and whatnot #i wanted this game to get into GANON'S side of the story #but keep link as the main focus to give the game some sense of misunderstanding on the player's part #as the player slowly unlocks the truth throughout gameplay #but based on the leaks? that's not what's gonna happen #i was just hoping the reason ganon as a demon has become so powerful #is because his heart was broken by the kingdom #and thats why he's stronger than ever #the fate he's tied to took him over using his broken heart #and he couldnt fight it and he was sealed #he's in regular clothes and jewelry! there is zero sign in his corpse that he was ACTUALLY TRYING to cause harm #in the moment he died! he is dressed as though he was welcome into the castle #not dressed for battle #i really love ganon and i see him as human too not just a demon with no motive but destruction #and yes ofc i love him for that. id be a fake ganon fan if i didnt think it was hot that he loved killing and violence #but while id love to keep my twisted and insane OOT and TP and WW ganons... #a good ganon that the game tells us about that gives us a view at his life and culture #that wouldve been so good #cuz all we get about this man is that hyrule treats his people like ass and he uses that as an excuse to kill civilians #i wanted to see how the kingdom treated the infamous male gerudo as a hero. i want to know WHY the gerudo grew pointed ears. #i want to know everything about him and his people but we never will because he's just the villain #and the gerudo are just a racist in game fanservice #ganondorf #totk neg
