Ganondorf
@gaming-charactersOne of gaming's great tyrants: regal, furious, and always just a little too certain destiny belongs to him.

Ganondorf endures because he is more than a demon king with boss music. He carries envy, ambition, and a sense of historical inevitability that makes every Zelda cycle feel like an old wound tearing open again.

Example
Ocarina of Time's political manipulator version and Tears-era apocalypse myth both work because the core fantasy is the same: overwhelming will weaponized.

Why it matters
Ganondorf matters because a recurring villain needs mythic weight, not just recurring boss phases.
