![]() ![]() Zelda doesn't have the most coherent timeline as a series, but it's hard to deny that Ganondorf is a result of Demise's curse given the many connections implying this to be the case. While this dynamic makes Demise into the perfect rival for Hylia, it lowers the level of threat that Ganondorf brings because he'll always be overshadowed by a greater evil. Players see the level of destruction that Ganondorf can cause in games like Ocarina of Time when Link returns from the Sacred Realm as an adult, but the introduction of Demise means that no matter how much damage Ganondorf does, Demise would be able to do more if he had his full power. If his strength is derived from Demise, then Ganondorf or Ganon can't be stronger than Demise. Ganondorf seems immortal in The Legend of Zelda, but evidence points towards his immortality through repeated resurrections being due to the power of Demise's curse placed on Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword. Ganondorf is reincarnated along with Zelda and Link multiple times, making him the obvious candidate to be an incarnation of Demise's hatred. He says that Zelda and Link's future reincarnations will be bound by this curse and that an incarnation of his hatred will always follow them to create a dark world. Demise declares that his hatred is undying and will rise again in an endless cycle of rebirth. ![]() ![]() However, the strongest connection between Demise and Ganondorf comes in Skyward Sword, specifically in his monologue before he's defeated. He is a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again." It wouldn't be far-fetched to believe that the ancient evil she mentions is Demise, especially since Zelda is the mortal form of Hylia, and it's her divine powers in BOTW that seal Ganon similar to Hylia sealing Demise. However, in BOTW, Princess Zelda says, " Ganon was born out of a dark past. Calamity Ganon doesn't have the physical characteristics of Demise, nor does he share the title of Demon King. ![]()
