#scratched up or faded old photographs and napkins stolen from that one inn where they had dinner

It’s a little weird for me to see all these interpretations of a young Ganondorf as some kind of perpetually -shirtless child supermodel when I personally see him as a cross between Amanda Rule-of-Rose (including the orphanhood and childhood adversity [she DID grow up in a British orphanage run by a neglectful scumbag in the 1910s-20s], its attendant emotional problems and attachment issues, precocious life skills, secret hideout, hilariously overwrought diary entries, and extremely off-putting ways of apologizing and trying to make friends) and an ichimatsu doll.

I know a lot of people think he’s handsome, and want to believe he was always handsome, but I feel like it’d be more fitting if his childhood self was this hilariously awkward, oversensitive, and vulnerable thing that he’s been desperately trying to get away from ever since, and yet in some ways hasn’t changed from at all. For example, he’d be just as likely to do the “leave a letter in their room and watch them through a crack in the door to make sure they read it” thing to someone he’s trying to sincerely apologize to as an adult as he would as a child.

#loz thoughts #ganondorf #he would have a secret attic room where he recites poetry and builds obsessive shrines to every boy he has a crush on like helga pataki #as well as his tendency to hoard ‘treasures’ he finds #in that secret hidden room of his #as a kid it’d be stuff like cool glass bottles pinned butterflies and bleached animal bones #as an adult it’d be weird and possibly dangerous occult artifacts and random things he’d taken during his relationships with people #who he considered ‘special’ enough to get attached to (although he’d rarely openly admit it) #scratched up or faded old photographs and napkins stolen from that one inn where they had dinner #odd little pieces of their lives that are often the only thing anyone remembers them by after they’d died or left him #and they always leave in the end
