Study - Young Ganondorf

Description

"A villain is not a man in a dark outfit running around doing evil deeds. Look in the mirror my Princess." -Ganondorf

Full name and other titles: Ganondorf, Phantom Ganon

Appearances: Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess (canon) Gerudo Wars (non-canon)

Design Notes: Including Ganondorf was a tough choice for me. It's not that I do not like the tyrant, I just personally feel he's been overused far too many times in the Zelda series and has hijacked the main villain spot from other contenders like Agahnim and Zant too many times. Since my manga and games are in their own little universe though I decided it would be safe to include the iconic bad guy. In the Gerudo Wars, Ganondorf is still only 18 and as such he's not quite the imposing hulking king seen in the games. At this point I wanted to make him bold and 'show-off-y' to imply that he hides the pain of his past. As such I wanted him to wear an armored helmet, metaphorically and literally hiding his face during battle. As he gets older things will change though. Also on another note, in my manga and games "Ganon" and "Ganondorf" are two completely different individuals so don't mix them up.

So your Ganon and Ganondorf are separate? You got any artwork on that?
