Nikko A. Awww that’s sad... really wanted him to be a part of it

Some people tend to interpret Ganondorf's "coveted the wind of Hyrule" speech in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker as him wanting a prosperous land for his people, though I've seen at least one person on Twitter give a break-down of how his speech is more Ganondorf trying to internally justify to himself that he's not nearly as bad as everyone seems to think he is. Regardless of how you interpret it, though, what makes this a stand-out moment for Ganondorf is that it gives him more dimension than simply being an evil overlord, and that's what makes it memorable.

@Rubberman202. I can see a valid reason for Ganonorf trying to justify that he isn't as bad as he's made out to be. As he talks to Link and looks out over Hyrule, submerged under water, he may as well be saying in his head "This happened because of me..." his speech denotes a certain amount of guilt but his pride and evil nature ultimately spins it back around that he's not really to blame. His speech shows a bit of inner conflict too. That centuries living in the flooded world, whether above or below the seas time has granted Ganondorf a conscience and he is at odds with himself to a degree on the reality of world around him. Although the most telling look into his psyche is when the Triforce is before him , but the King of Hyrule wishes upon it before he does, and the king wishes for the rest of Hyrule to be destroyed. Ganondorf basically falls into madness at that point especially crying foul at the thought there would be a future for Link, Zelda and the rest of the world even with Hyrule completely destroyed. Ganondorf, despite his lamentations and guilt showed, in the end he only wanted Hyrule for himself and that was his undoing.

“Wait...am I subscribed to this chann-YOOOOOO DERRICK WHAT’S POPPIN”

Wind Waker Ganondorf is easily my favorite incarnation. I wish more Zelda games delved more into his head. He's a man bound to a curse I'd be neat if Nintendo wrote a Ganondorf trying to defy his fate. I guess I'm asking for too much

It's Derrick!

Wind Waker Ganon was so unique for me. I played it for the first time this past year and found his attitude so different than what I feel Ganon usually has. It was a great iteration. Fantastic video. Cannot wait to see what you all create.

I'm already sold, y'all are gonna do great!

When I first played Wind Waker years ago in 2003, it felt strange to see Ganondorf reflecting on his actions. In Ocarina of Time when he was centuries younger he was very impulsive, set on reaching his goal and mowing down anyone in his way. I guess nostalgia of being back in Hyrule after a long time caused him to look back at what made him want to dominate Hyrule so badly.

Here thanks to Arlo! Glad he gave me the recommendation.

I was skeptical as to whether I would end up liking the new channel but this video was amazing I can’t wait to see what you make next

Really missed this kind of content honestly Thank you guys!

I'd love a spin-off game following Ganondorf at some point.

I've always enjoyed Gannondorf as an antagonist. A game that delves more deeply into his character would be amazing!

Looking forward to more content like this. I hadn't even considered a lot of this whilst playing Wind Waker, so it's nice to have a fresh perspective. Keep it up. Good vibes!

Such a cool video Derrick. Can't wait for even more!

Good Vibes are kicking things off with some evil talk about death.

Cogratulations on the new channel guys! Best of luck in this new adventure!

This explains a lot, glad to see it's all good with you guys! Excited to see what you've got coming up.

Great video, love the style. This channel looks like it will be great. Good vibes is where it's at! Hopefully this channel will grow, so far you are providing great reasons to.

Great analysis on Ganon! Hope to see more of this on the channel for not only villains, but heroes and side characters along with your reviews!

This was great. This is the type of content I originally subscribed to Gamexplain for. I’m really looking forward to the future of Good Vibes.

Very excited for more of this kind of content. Thought provoking deep dives into lore, character development, etc. Great job Derrick!

Congrats guys, you were my three fav one GX, stoked you're starting your own thing. Also great first video :)

Great first entry, I cant express how excited I am to see an analysis on Windwaker’s Ganondorf, he’s such an interesting villain. Keep up the good vibes!

Looking forward for more content like this!

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Good luck and best wishes!

I'm sold! This is gonna be a great new adventure, and I'm here for the whole ride.

Loving this so far can’t wait too see Good Vibes Gaming grow and become bigger!

I am SO excited to see more, this stuff makes me super excited to see you guys together again since I love you 3! Very stoked!

This is basically creative gamexplain... I love it

Hello from Arlo's fans! I loved this and will definitely check out more

To me, this is taking the best of gamexplain and curated in an open way that seems really exciting, if this first video is any indication I think there’s a lot of awesome content to come!

This is an awesome video. So glad I subscribed and became a patron 😃😃

Very good video, Derrick. Personally speaking, I'm really into this type of content myself, so if more of this is to come, you've got a viewer in me at the very least. Looking forward to what other types of content you guys intend on bringing to the channel here.

This is actually a really great video to kick off the new channel, would love to see more like it in the future.

This video left me a bit torn. While the voiceover and transcript were great there was a copule things I'd improve upon. First would be to let the video "breathe" meaning to take pauses between "chapters", silence isn't dangerous. Too much of talking with no pauses is kind of exshausting. Second would be to put music where it fits. In this video the music didn't seem to fit to the theme and distracted me from the context. But in the end, the video was great in it's own right and I am excited to see more!

....I'm just here to hear Derrick's voice. lol

Excited to see the channel grow!

Yay! I was waiting for this!

I’d be down for a much longer version of something like this

Ganondorf in Wind Waker showed a side of the villain that we had not seen before. That he is trapped within his own fate of never ending hatred and lust for power, in that brief talk with Link atop the tower he reveals that he had the capacity to seek a new horizon, something other than the ruin of the desert, but the underlying problem is that he sought it only for himself. He is in conflict with his own nature and that is ultimately he undoing through out the series. Power for one and one alone, hubris and greed cutting him short every time.

I already subscribed but Arlo send me to check this video which I missed. Keep up the great work gentlemen, your channel is great!

Of course the first video on this new show is about my favorite game of all time! Glad to see you guys back. :)

Hi Derrick, so good to hear you again. Best of luck to all of you guys!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF THESE VIDEO ESSAY STYLED VIDEOS,.. (oh geez when you realize caps lock was on... But you know what that is my excitement level so whatevs)

Great first video, do hope we get more from ganondorf in future, stories are driven by the villains so they should be fleshed out

I’m blown away by this video great job

Awesome video!

It's so good to hear your voice once again Derrick!

I remembered you used to analyze old enemies Derrick. So hearing you deconstruct famous vg characters again is awesome!

With how much Zelda has been fleshed out in BotW, I'm pretty confident BotW's sequel will do Ganon justice

Good Vibes, Everyone! So glad I can still enjoy content from you guys. This is a great start.

Seeing the video, I couldn't stop thinking in Andre all way long... I don't know why.

such a good video. i really hope that they give his character more love. I like that you pointed out how the calamity is more a force of nature than an entity, which is actually pretty awesome, but i can’t wait to move past the mindless beast trope.

This is awesome content! I can’t wait for more

This was very interesting, thank you!

So excited for more content!

this is in part why im very excited to see how they do ganon in botw2. him being a good guy that was slain, and covered up by the royal family would be an amazing deviation from the norm, and truly show that nobody is born evil, that the curse is its own being, not just ganon

Greetings from Blue Muppet Man's Twitter feed! The Iwata Asks bit was fascinating, I never would have guessed Journey To The West had any impact on The Legend of Zelda.

This is a really really really really really awesome video! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes please! More of this kind of content!

I didn't recognize this channel at first, but the title seemed good. Clicked, heard Derrick. Then I said, YES!!!

Oh this channel is gonna be great.

Great first video guys!

I have the biggest smile on my face the moment i heard Derrick. I'm in for this, excited.

Glad Arlo recommended y'all to me

Three years ago. Happy Anniversary team!

Such a great video. It also reminded me of a detail that I forgot about Wind Waker, the game that made me a Zelda fan. Until Breath of the Wild came out, WW HD was my favorite Zelda game.

I had the same reaction as a lot of people - I was very confused at first. I was like “Wait, I don’t remember subscribing to this channel?!” I literally unsubscribed because I was so confused. But as soon as I heard Derrick’s voice I subscribed back. Then I saw Jon’s update video and it all made sense :)

This reincarnation thing Ganon, Zelda and Link have going on is so fascinating and i'd love to see Nintendo do more with that specifically. Having the experiences and memories of their past lives could alter how Zelda and Ganon fight eachother or if they end up fighting at all. But I guess the Twilight Princess manga has a little bit of that going on, the memories thing at least.

I think your point about sealing Gannon makes him more angry may play a role in BOTW 2.

Keep at it!

i like to think by the time of the wind waker ganondorf has seemed to break free of demises curse he has regained his humanity it makes him more tragic

Opening this and hearing Derrick's voice, what a great surprise! I already got my notifications on for this new channel

Its weird to think that Ganondorf has only been in three Zelda games. Ocarina or Time, The Windwaker and Twilight Princess. Like obviously he has been in spin offs like Smash Bros and Ganon has been in others but as iconic as he seems, he hasn't appeared since 2006.

All the sudden departures make sense now. I’m going to miss all of you guys at GameXplain, but I hope you all do well here. Good luck guys.

I always wanted Gamexplain to make a channel like this, like a Swanky Box kind of style

Derrick literary analysis? Sign me up right away!

Yah real good vibes derrick >.

Somehow I have a feeling that last sentence was speaking on more than just the Pathos of Ganon.

I don't remember there being Malice goop outside of town/man-made ruins in Breath of the Wild. Rare to see in nature. I know Ganondorf poisoned the Great Deku Tree in Ocarina of Time. But maybe for non-civilization nature, he may just be a villain that just wants to rest in his cabin, he may be, the Breath of the Wild.

Pay homage to death, if you loose your gaze it will surely take more than you thought to barter.

Good luck Derrick and co.

I loved this. I just love hearing zelda lore

I am very excited to see what other villains could be tackled in the future with this light? Egil and Amalthus from Xenoblade Twist antagonists from Persona 4 and 5 Sephiroth from FFVII of course I am excited to what the possibilities bring!

Yesterday: Sudden HeartHero at FEE3 Today: Sudden Derrick at Jon's former channel Looks like the Universe wants to make me happy. I appreciate it.

Amazing content as always Derrick, I've been missing your voice and written thoughts for a long time (BTW Andre banned me in GameXplain for saying you were a better reviewer). Also congrats for your child. Jon is a great man for giving you guys a channel with an established audience. I hope he makes guest appearances from time to time.

I think Ganon could be expanded upon as a character. But I wouldn't call him one of Nintendo's most shallow villians when I look at his backstory and motives. He was the king of the gerudo whose greed and lust for power got the better of him really. In twilight princess people may complain about ganondorf being the way he was instead of in wind waker. But I found that Ganondorf in that game clearly wanted revenge on those that caused his trial in the first place. Or at least close enough...as Ganondorf was able to battle the descendant of the one who caused it.

Hey guys could you change the description, so you can click on the links and it will take us to for example Patreon and Twitter etc 👍

I'm sold!!! It's Gamexplain but without Andre. What more could I ask for?

Let's go good vibes gaming!

you should do a video explaining the direction this channel will take. What kind of videos will be on this channel?

I'm not going anywhere, and the content is great, but if you guys wanna push this as far as possible for newcomers I gotta suggest you try and up the editing game a bit. Static footage without transitions and a voice-over just isn't going to cut it if you want to rope in new people beyond GX analysis fans. I thoroughly enjoyed everything Derrick had to say in this one, but I can't shake that the video itself I was watching wasn't nearly as interesting as the voice narrating over it or the script it was based upon. I wish you three the best of luck in pushing this content as far as possible and making it the best it can be!

I will say, I hope that we get some back story on Ganon in Age of Calmity to see if he was something else before his final form as was hinted in BOTW2. He is a character unlike most villains (save Kafka from FF6 imho) whom has more depth as you explained beyond kidnap the princess or destroy the world.

GOOD STUFF

I liked this alot

I REALLY hope Breath of the Wild 2 explores Ganondorf's character again
