Ok a more serious answer, I always just loved the idea of a dude who comes back in every timeline, just always, there only male they get in I can’t remember how many years, is always him, like, idk, your so evil thst you just exist, your a force of nature, I don’t know I just like him lol, oh and also, he’s hot!
He’s usually evil for evil’s sake, and whenever Nintendo try and add some kind of sympathetic element to his character it’s still inherently selfish. Villains don’t need complex origin stories and Ganondorf is perfect proof of that. TOTK Ganondorf in particular brings a real sense of terror, plus top notch voice acting from Matt Mercer. I just wish Ganondorf in general becomes a more active villain in the game since we only see him when he fights Link. I’d love for him to do what Ghirahim did in Skyward Sword, being there throughout.
Along with Star Fox and Megaman Legends (and of course the Mario games of the era), OOT voice clips are basically the first voice acting in video games to me. And Ganondorf especially just kills it with the...literal seconds of voice acting he has. Top tier laugh, top tier yells, top tier grunts.
GCN era Ganondorf is also cool, but OOT (and Smash Melee) is just the best in that regard. Honestly if not for that, he'd not be remotely as memorable a villain in that game.
We have the Ocarina of Time ‘Dorf, who reappears in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, and is reported to be the source of Ganon in a majority of its appearances.
Then we have the Ganondorf born in the era of Four Swords Adventures, who went on to become a new Ganon for a short while...
And finally we have this most recent one, the oldest one, who was born around the same time as the creation of the kingdom of Hyrule, and remained sealed underground until Tears of the Kingdom. (This information is presented very early into TotK, so I don’t consider it as spoilers!)
This means this particular Ganondorf was there, crusting under the castle during OoT, while a different Ganondorf was above, doing Ganondorf things.
For a bit of a theory connecting TotK and OoT:
In one of the memories, we can see Ganondorf has what seem to be two identical retainers, both with greenish skin just like him, and one wearing blue, while the other one wears red.
I like to believe these two are meant to be the very same Koume and Kotake, who waited for a new king to shape up into a new Ganondorf. This would put OoT about 400 years after the events of the memories!

The bolded bit makes no sense. IIRC, Ganondorf (no matter which one, if there are multiple throughout the timelines) is the reincarnation of Demise. If TotK's Ganondorf was sealed during OoT, Demise's soul would be trapped within him, and thus not free to reincarnate in another Gerudo male.
Unless TotK Ganondorf's spirit was already seeping out by that point (allowing him to possess & control OoT's Gerudo King, & thus making him "Ganondorf").

@RR529 well Demise cursed Link and Zelda, it doesn’t necessarily need to be always his “spirit reincarnated”, it can be just his persistent ill will causing the evil doing to happen.
For example, we can include Vaati, Bellum, the train-obsessed demon king from new Hyrule, and the Wind Fish’s nightmares as part of this curse- they’re also different entities from either Ganondorf.
In the case of Ganondorf, for all we know it’s just traditional for the one male Gerudo to be named that, and they just happen to be prone to malice; after all it’s happened three different times now.

Poor Ganondorf, he’s just a kid born with this curse from a result of Link’s incompetence to destroy evil yet he’s always the bad guy. They never just try to offer him a hot cocoa whilst they talk about his feelings and offer him some loving help.
@jump that’s what growing up in a society consisting entirely of muscular fitness-crazy amazonian warrior women with high expectations and little patience will do to a kid
