I should probably make a pinned post about this but please don't send me any asks about the LoZ movie or tell me about your hopes for the movie or whatever it is. I answered the last ask because what I've come to understand is that a lot of people don't know who Avi Arad is, but that is the last of it that is coming from me. I don't care what happens in that movie, I don't care who they cast, I don't care if the story is the best thing since sliced bread or a burning train wreck, I don't care. I have been livid since the first post that of all people Miyamoto could have chosen to work with he chose one of the most bottom feeding ones. Thank you.

Last thing I want to say, and I've said this before, but Ganondorf needs to be a nuanced villain because of the context of the story he exists in. It is highly problematic when in the year of 2026 we are still farming evil aura by calling him "an evil man from the desert", and he is the ONLY man from the desert mind you. I don't mind pure evil villains, they have their place, but Ganon was that once upon a time when he was an evil pig monster with his magic monster army. Nintendo made the decision to give him a human form, and then added all this loaded context to his characterization. They should expand on it so it doesn't become the story of the two white blond heroes beating down the evil desert man who is evil and rotten from the inside and leads a kingdom of warrior women he allegedly oppresses because of his evilness. I mean this is already the story LoZ seems to think it needs to tell to appeal to the West because the West rejected Wind Waker for being too "childish".

See with Ganondorf I’ve always found him hot, ever since Ocarina of Time. At that time however it was controversial to call him hot, but with Wind Waker being the follow up game that continued on Ganondorf’s arc, there was this expectation that they would continue to explore and expand on Ganondorf’s character. But they put a blunt end to that. I still don’t really get that it took Ganondorf exposing his chest (and feet I guess) for people to consider him “conventionally” hot, but I didn’t want that to come at the expense of him losing any personhood he once had. Now I have to log onto social media and be faced with posts about how Ganondorf should in fact be this inherently evil guy that has no compelling character arc or humanity because they don’t want to be made to feel sorry for a villain, but “Omg he’s so hot I’m joining his side”. I don’t know, doesn’t anyone feel compelled by narratives that explore the conditions that can create heroes and villains? That makes you think that maybe in a different situation that hero could have been seen as a villain and vice versa? Why does everyone seem to want Saturday morning cartoon levels of narrative in the stories they enjoy? Is thinking that hard lol.

Need to start doing what the Trafalgar Law guy did, but for Ganondorf (Guy who went to every artist booth and said “do you have Trafalgar Law”)

If anyone ever sees a cool dehydrated Ganondorf pin/charm, TELL ME 👀🤙🫶
