He also does not have any kind of relationship with Koume and Kotake at first, thinking them as insane old hags for practicing the Dark Arts. He starts out as a kind and benevolent ruler for his people, but lamenting how they suffer needlessly in the desert.

Sun 4th Sep Actually, I envision the origin story of Ganondorf to be almost exactly like that.

So he spirals into a being of eternal hatred and bitterness.

But then, something tragic happens that causes him to lose his way and descend into darkness-maybe the death of one closest to him. The game could start off with you playing as a kind and shy 'Kid Ganon' before he slowly matures into 'Adult Ganon' and accepts his responsibility as the savior of Hyrule. Maybe he lost favor with the gods and they needed a new champion, but there was nothing they could do to break Ganon's reincarnation cycle that was already established when he was a hero. Maybe it could work as some sort of Ganon origin story, where he was the original hero before being corrupted by malice and the spirit of Demise. It's probably never gonna happen since it would contradict the already-established lore, but it would be incredibly awesome. I invasion it being something more gritty and realistic like Twilight Princess. And unlike most Zelda games where you start in a small forest village, the game would begin in the desert.

Link would have brown skin, smaller ears, and a more prominent nose. That said, I think it would be awesome if there was a game where the hero was incarnated as a Gerudo. Without going too much into spoilers, Skyward Sword further cements the idea that Link and Zelda must always be reincarnated through Hylia's lineage. Ergo, Hylians are apparently the closest race to the gods, which makes sense considering they are the only race named after a goddess. There's an NPC in Twilight Princess who says it is believed the reason Hylians have large, pointed ears is because they are the only ones able to hear the voices of the gods speaking to them. I'm pretty sure it's part of the established lore that the hero can only be reincarnated as a Hylian. Sun 4th Sep all, why should the Hero only be Hylian? Reincarnation doesn't always have you reincarnate into the body of the same species, after all.'.
