Ganondorf - Goodnight Sweet Prince

Well, it worked for Majora's Mask. Most under-appreciated Zelda game ever.

I love the series. Twilight Princess kept me entertained for weeks. But essentially, I had played the game before. All the gameplay mechanics go back to OoT. They're going to have to reinvent the wheel a bit gameplay-wise, or perhaps a new villain might help. I kinda agree with the writer -- LoZ:TP would've been better overall if Zant had been the main attraction. IMO, of course.

@evil,
But zelda isn't involed with all zelda games...so not sure why people are so up to this point with it.

The title is just legend of zelda.

They need more items, that would be used more trough out the whole game.

I disagree. Seeing Ganondorf halfway through the game at the sand ruins was the biggest WTF moment in the entire game. I thought he would show up eventually, but the flashback that revealed him was great. His role in "creating" Zant was well done, I thought.

There have also been plenty of different Zelda main villains added. Here are the ones I can think of:

-Adventure of Link: Thunderbird + Shadow Link
-Link's Awakening: Dethl (The shadow in the Wind Fish)
-Oracle of Season + Ages: Onyx (Seasons) + Veran (Ages) (Yes I know Ganondorf and Twinrova showed up eventually, but they were basically bonus bosses)
-Majora's Mask: Skull Kid
-Legend of Zelda LTTP Four Swords: Vaati
-Four Swords Adventures: Vaati
-Minish Cap: Vaati
-Phantom Hourglass: Bellum

Yes, you could argue that the "main games" use Ganondorf only as the final boss, but I don't think he is overused in the slightest. I kinda wish they would elaborate on his background though. Evil prince born in Gerudo Village doesn't quite cut it for me.

I agree that Ganondorf could be used in a twisted roll to help get rid of a greater evil. Would be an amazing gameplay element to have to be force to work with Link.

Again, that still holds the same premise as the writer though: That a new end game villain is called for. Think about the Twilight Princess twist at the end. Ganondorf's "power" seemed much more daunting when Zant used it then when he did. I mean, he turned Link back in a wolf, dismissed the shadow mask as a toy against his power (which magically became extremely useful against Ganondorf himself), and put Midna on her death bed.

Ganondorf's power was, in essence, stronger in Zant then in himself. When Ganondorf appeared... it was like "free win". Glad to see that people enjoyed the piece. Us folks at ZI love writing about Zelda.

"I am getting a little tired of the OoT Ganon constantly coming back for vengeance against Hyrule and the Hero or Time."

Errr..he doesn't come back for vengeance, he comes back to make his wish come true by collecting all triforce triangles ( basically zelda and link).
They should totally make a game about zelda who can turn into a ninja( sheik )=D

Technically Ganon was the final boos in Ages/Seasons if you beat one game and then entered the secret code you obtained into the other.

Thats true, but ONLY if you had both games ( Capcom ( yes capcom) wanted to do both games in one but it was way to big).

So on their own its still 2 end bosses.

And as cheese said, he is a bonus boss. Although the story changes a bit though.

" it is what the story is intended to be."
Thats what i said, they wanted to make one game out of it but it was too big. Therefore 2 new end bosses were created.

In the end you only fight ganon if you have both games, if don't have both of them you still fight one of the END bosses.

And the story changes a bit, if you start one of the games with the code zelda will be more in the scene and there will be told more about ganon.

Yes the game itself is the same until you reach the end, but what is being said is different.

either way at least for one of the games there was a new end boss(depending on which one you played first) cause you wouldn't fight against ganon before you get the code.
