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
