[ Character's Name ] : Ganondorf [ Character's Age ] : likely literally older than dirt (at least 300, though probably older) [ Series ] : Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker [ Canon Point ] : Post final battle, after he’s been stabbed in the head and turned to stone
[ Personality ] : Long, long ago, there lived a man known as the King of Thieves. He made his home in the desert, along with his people, the Gerudo. Life in their desert home was harsh; the days were blisteringly hot and the wind brought great sandstorms. The nights were hardly better, offering a deep cold that seeped into the homes. This troubled the King, for nearby Hyrule was covered with lush greenery, the wind neither hot nor cold, the people able to live peacefully. Why should this be so? Why should every day need to be a struggle for survival? Why should his people be forced to steal when much of Hyrule lived in comparative luxury?
His concern for his people blended with a resentment for those who knew not what they had… and a desire for power.
After staging a coup against the royal family of Hyrule, he gained the land he sought, and through cunning, even the Power of the goddesses. …And for seven long years, the King ruled as a tyrant consumed by the power and the hatred of a being long forgotten reborn into him. Many of his own people did not wish to follow him, so dark was his reign. One day, a hero rose to fight the King of Evil, and banished him from the world of light after a great battle.
…Time passed. The King, thought sealed for eternity, rose again. His armies of dark creatures brought the people to despair once again, though there was no hero to save them this time. In their last desperate hour, a few people were sent to the highest peaks. In a last effort, the goddesses flooded the kingdom, sealing it and the dark king under a vast sea.
Ages passed, and both Hyrule and the king both were all but forgotten. Long did this allow the one once known as the King of Thieves to think on his actions. He reflected, and saw that he had gained nothing from destruction, from terrorizing others. He felt the sorrow and loneliness that was brought on by having lost his people to the sands of time. A part of him still wished to rule, but it was tempered by the knowledge that death gains nothing. It was thus that when he broke free and rose to the surface once again, he sought not to destroy the world above, but rather to free the world below from the vast ocean. Perhaps then the people would be grateful, would willingly accept his rule. And so he sought out she who bore the Wisdom of the goddesses. Not knowing her location however, he sent a great bird out with the instructions to retrieve any girls with ears that ended in points. This worked two-fold, for he knew as well that this was sure to lure out he who bore the Courage of the goddesses.
Alas, when he had finally managed to gather the other two and once again unite Courage, Wisdom, and his own Power, the single wish granted to the one to touch the united force was stolen by the last King of Hyrule, who chose to forever bury the kingdom at the bottom of the sea. In a last fit of madness driven by fury and despair, he challenged the barer of Courage to face him in a final confrontation. …His last action upon losing the duel is to give an ironic sort of grin, even as he turns to stone.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] : The only things that can actually kill him are the Master Sword and Light Arrows, though other things can injure him. Of course, he just shrugs off most damage due to the fact that he’s quite decidedly a Lightning Bruiser, and has the added bonus of being pretty smart too. He’s got major issues with pride and rage, though he’s got a better handle on them than he did when he was younger. In addition to his physical powers, he’s quite a powerful sorcerer.
[ Other Important Facts ] : Ganondorf is a whopping seven and a half feet tall and built like a linebacker who gained a bit of...extra padding as he grew older. He’s also rather skilled at playing the pipe organ.
