Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom isn’t crazy. He isn't possessed by Demise’s curse (well, technically he is, but that’s lore for another day). He chose this. He chose to refuse Rauru’s peace. He chose to shatter the Secret Stone. Even mummified, with his organs turned to dust, his willpower is so absolute that it physically manifests as Gloom across the entire kingdom.
What makes it unsettling is the silence . There’s no dramatic monologue. The only sound is the drip of water and the thrum of the seal holding him down. He is patient. He has been waiting for thousands of years. That patience is scarier than any roar. mummified ganondorf
I love Ganon the pig. Ocarina of Time ’s final beast is iconic. But a giant boar feels like a final exam boss. Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom isn’t crazy
What did you think of the mummy design? Did it scare you more than the final fight? Let me know in the comments below. He chose to refuse Rauru’s peace
That’s terrifying. But it’s also tragically noble, in a twisted way. He would rather rot for eternity than bow.
