Okay...the weirdo in my has thought from the first that all of Ganondorf's grunting and heaving sounds, with him bent over like that, made it appear as if he was about to have a major attack of diarrhea. Also, on a more serious note, that Secret Stone's enhancing his evil darkness also meant that it wiped out his caring for his own people, if he had any to begin with. His dark bow does bear the names of his mothers who raised him, so he probably did love them before his transformation and kept that bit on a whim, since in earlier games those two, in another lifetime, pandered and encouraged another Ganondorf's dark tendencies. He probably wouldn't have made as far as he did without them, but after transforming, he certainly had no more need for them. Probably keeping their names on his bow felt like a sufficient nod to them. And on a third thought...Ganondorf loves the thrill of battle. I can't be the only one who ever thought that, having, for the sake of argument, conquered Hyrule, that after a few years of only having his mindless loyal servants to hang around him and for him to interact with, this Demon King would become _bored out of his mind?_ There's nobody left to kill and nothing left to conquer. Evil won. Ganondorf's focus has always been Hyrule. Would boredom make him so desperate for action that he'd turn on other lands? Did that Blood Moon show only over Hyrule, and seem normal to the rest of the world and other lands? And, finally, a last potential scenario for the sake of humorous argument...Ganondorf finally breaking free of his seal, only to find "he" had already done the deed a century before when Calamity Ganon ruined everything, left the Princess dead, and killed the Hero. I pictured Ganondorf cursing...well, himself, realizing what happened and wanting to kick the big PigDorf for ruining all his fun before he could have it, because his mind had been too asleep to know about it!
@@PlayCJ I would have loved more backstory with this incarnation of Ganondorf; but this game wasted no time in cutting right to the chase. The Secret Stone made him become as close to being Demise as possible, without actually BEING Demise. It is as if Demise's curse tries harder and harder with each incarnation to fully bring Demise back into existence. In the past I used to discuss how it would be if Ganondorf somehow redeemed himself after realizing what really controlled his actions, that HE was born because of a curse from someone else. He isn't Demise reborn; he's the product of a curse. To be honest, I don't think Ganondorf would ever be redeemed, BUT I can see an incarnation that, if he finds out what's going on, decide that he doesn't want to be a part of it. He'll be evil and do his own thing, and not bother with a princess and a swordsman, because no damned curse is gonna dictate what he does! (Okay that last bit was humorous.) PS, I apologize, but when I am super tired and it is super late, my thoughts run at a million miles per hour, and my fingers can barely keep up. Sorry for the long posts. Lol
@@ZeoViolet The whole point of the Curse of Demise is that its end goal is to have Ganondorf eventually become Demise entirely. "I WILL rise again!" is exactly what he said at the end of Skyward Sword, after all. Every time Ganondorf incarnates, he's more Demise and less Ganondorf.
