uh oh Sunshine’s been thinking about Ganondorf again.

Probably the earliest character I’d RP as way back in the day. OoT was such a huge deal to me. I think since the story itself was very basic and had plenty of room for interpretation is what I really enjoyed about it.

I remember pondering motivations so often for Ganondorf when I RPed as him on message boards.  That, and coming up with ways how their society worked.  What was raising a Gerudo child like? Was the forehead gem a sign of maturity? How do they get food?  

My basic headcanon for him (and the Gerudos) was along the lines of they were on the wrong side of the war and were struggling to keep their tribe alive with ties to Hyrule cut.  They NEEDED to make that treaty with the king.  My version of Ganondorf had a much deeper hatred of Hylians because of it.  Just based on how people react to the Gerudo mask, I don’t think they were exactly popular.  But you know, his initial plan MIGHT have started with good intentions, but…well, he ends up a monster.

Then Wind Waker came out.  

Not going to lie, I cried at the ending. SPECIALLY considering how I played him, it struck a bit harder.

TLDR: King Daphnes is a jerk.
