Ruminations on the Demon King
Let me talk little about Demon King Ganon and some of the implications that Tears of the Kingdom has had on the lore of the Legend of Zelda franchise. So, turn back if you’re trying to avoid spoilers.

Firstly, it’s very likely that there are now multiple Ganondorfs thought out the timeline of Hyrule, and it is likely that this version of Ganon (let’s call him Demon King Ganon) is historically the first, supplanting Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time, who was widely considered the one and only Ganon of the original timeline. However, keeping in mind Demise’s curse, it makes sense that the villain of the story is constantly reborn just like Hero and the Princess.
Because Demon King Ganon ended up betraying his vow to the first King of Hyrule, it makes sense that Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time made a big deal of vowing his allegiance to the King at that time.
It’s likely that the biggest supporters / allies of the Demon King are the Yiga and Twinrova. When he’s alive, Ganon seems to command armies of monsters, but I imagine that in between his reincarnation, it is the Yiga and Twinrova that pave the way for his return. Someone has to build the fortresses, steal objects, and find information about magical objects to aid in his return.
I imagine Twinrova is not literally Ganon’s mother, they (Koume and Kotake) are likely acting as his surrogate mothers. I imagine these very old Gerudo witches spend most of their time prophesying the return of the Demon King, and when a male Gerudo is born, they determine if the baby is the Demon King reborn. I also assume there were some male Gerudo that were not evil. (otherwise, everyone could just assume all male Gerudo are evil by default.)
The Yiga were said to have split off from the Sheikah over the banning of their Ancient Technology. Their strong devotion to the Demon King implies to me that it was more than just a schism over technology. They lust for power. The ancient Sheikah tech gave them an advantage over other people, and they lost that when the technology was banned. Now, they’re aligned with the Demon King because he promises them power, and coincidentally, in TotK, they also started adopting the Zonai technology they discovered.
Finally, maybe Ganon is reborn in different forms. Sometimes he's a Gerudo, but maybe in the time of the original Zelda 1/2, he was reborn as an actual Moblin. It opens up the possibility there could be a Wolfos or Lizalfos Ganon. That might also explain the loyalty of the monsters, at some point, a version of Ganon was part of their species. (But that's pure speculation on my part.)
I will say that in some instances of (let’s just call him:) pig Ganon, he is a result of the corruption of the triforce of power or the golden realm. In A Link to the Past it’s revealed that a thief named Ganondorf entered the golden land to take the Triforce and corrupted the land into the Dark World. Everyone and everything that enters the land gets turned into some sort of beast or monster. And the same happened to Ganon. It seems in most of the timelines that pig Ganon is the result of being corrupted by the power of the triforce for too long, and it’s possible there were multiple pig Ganons too.
there actually are multiple pig ganons… i just don’t know how many at the top of my head. but atleast 2
a major reason why we need piracy sites. now that physical media comes secondary to digital streaming, piracy really is the only way to keep movies/shows like this from disappearing entirely
PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3
The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.
Basic rundown:
- They are all 3 sentences long
- Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation
- Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever
- No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story
- The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post
Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly
There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate
Started the colour wheel challenge on Twitter last month but only with pretty boys, lost all motivation halfway through and had too many other things on my plate to continue, yet somehow managed to complete it anyway, and with that I have fulfilled my fanart quota for the year. Unless I somehow manage to find time for a “ladies whom I want to step on me” version, but it’s more than just a little unlikely.
To all artists that draw Link taller than Zelda.
Just keep drawing what makes you happy. I love to see it.
Short king Link is valid♥️. But so is him being tall❤️. In the end we all love the same character.
So people who go out of their way to leave kinda mean spirited messages on these art works. Please stop. You don’t see me going after people that draw Link or Zelda in a way I don’t agree with don’t you?
I don’t think a bug net is the most common way to catch a bug
Also Wild is bad at catching bugs because I was when I played BotW
I actually started this one before I made a tumblr account, but it’s been so long since I’ve worked on it and there’s too many things I don’t like about it now so I don’t think I’ll ever finish it. It made me laugh at one point, though, so up it goes
REBLOG if you have amazing talented artist friends!
I DONT REMEMBER IF I HAVE REBLOGGED THIS YET
