Re: Monolith Soft Talks Up Ganondorf's "Alluring Charm" In New Interview

I think they captured the sense of the Betrayer in this ‘Dorf that felt like both a callback to OOT/WW ‘Dorf but expounded upon it. I haven’t felt legitimately angry or chilled by him in years but I really wanted to defeat him. And I honestly got nervous when he became the demon king. I still have to play age of imprisonment though.

I do feel like the wild era games were a deliberate subversion. They present him/his hatred is this mindless creature just acting in its nature which after beating him several games over he had begun to feel like a check box (Zant deserved better even if he was a fool) and then they subverted that while still keeping him as the unseen evil that haunts Hyrule and making him methodical and patient. He almost feels like he has a plan beyond “more power!!!”. In the same token I felt they did the same with Zelda herself. Her agency is a call back to OoT but way more fleshed out while still pantomiming the DID trope for those that need it (and imo alluding to Hylia without directly saying anything). Very fun to explore.

@the_beaver I already played Indiana Jones day one via Game Pass (Series X).
I've had Tales of Arise for PS5 since day one. So those games do nothing for me.

Lego Batman looks good but not at that price. I'll wait for a sale on that one.

Like I said to the other person, if Switch 2 is your only or main way of playing games. Then, it's understandable why those releases would be exciting.

They got the best people to revive his humanoid design and probably the most marketable voice actor for him.
Unfortunately Nintendo didn't even bother to write him good considering TotK's writing was literally OUTSOURCED to anime kid show writers, hence why criticize him of being a generic "demon lord" anime villain than his previous iterations.

I even argue that Ganon in EoW has more better writing, since he's not even Ganon. Too bad it's just Aonuma-approved subversion, but i honestly don't want Ganon hogging the glory all the time either.
Wished TotK Ganondorf was written better despite the design triumphness Monolith Soft and Nintendo gathered here.

I hated the fact the Ganon was in this game in the first place. The ending of BotW should have prevented his return. The bast part of Zelda sequels are that developers don't repeat the same Link-Zelda-Ganon story, except with TotK.

The one convention I wanted the developers to move away from is the one convention they actually kept in the new Zelda formula.
