Old Art Archives! Because we have no creatovity. Here we have a completely overhauled redesign of Ganondorf, based on BasilSillySixShooter's (Now Basil Best Boy) Zelda what-if story over on Youtube which I helped him out with. This Ganondorf was born under a former King of the Gerudo's, one that wasn't a Ganondorf, and thus was raised in a proper environment around the new Zelda and other royalty. He learned how to act and how to be proper and has actually developed a friendly relationship with the new Zelda. Link to the series here:

I helped with the Second and Third videos by contributing thoughts and (in the third video) the designs of Zelda, Ganondorf, and Link.

In short terms, this game would be a brand new take on the series where the player would not play as Link, but Zelda as she took on the role of her predecessor alongside a new Ganondorf, who was fighting against his fate to become the Demon King, and the Link of the previous cycle who'd survived his era and become zelda's mentor. He never gave this idea a name but I came up with one on the fly, "The Legend of Zelda: Fate's Defiance". Not a good name, but at least it's there.
