#But wind waker/twilight princess/ocarina of time Gan ARE THE SAME PERSON

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Me: Do you have pointed ears or not? Ganondorf: Yes and no. Me: IT HAS TO BE ONE OR THE OTHER DUDE. Ganondorf: Well… I didn’t have them in Ocarina of Time. Me: Ok, so— Ganondorf: But they were pointed in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Me: HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE

[bigsoftmarshmallow]

Dude, I just had an idea for the trial ask. What if the court recognized Ganondorf's tendency towards belligerent behavior & decided that neither sealing nor death would stop this from happening again.

Rather, his sentence will be to face the full consequences of his own actions.

Oh? Did he think the judge meant in regards to Hyrule?

The judge chuckles at the very idea. No. Because Ganondorf doesn’t care about that. He sees Hyrule as a prize. And its people as lesser. (In the case of TotK, as little more than animals.) The judge says with a weary sigh.

Instead, Ganondorf will have to face the consequences that he brought upon his own people.

Looking upon the Gerudo's expression of confusion, the judge seemed to realize something. “You… don’t know how badly the backlash of your gambit was, do you? Specifically, for the Gerudo more than anyone.”

For TP, specifically, “You really thought that Hyrule would just… what? Kill an entire people for the crimes of a few? If that's how you think, perhaps you should consider taking the log out of your own eye before pointing out the dust in another!”

“Gánōendōrfè Drāgamīr, you killed people. I know that that isn’t anything new to you. However, something you seem to forget at times is that those people have those who cared about them. And what do you think happens when someone has lost a loved one, but are unable to seek retribution upon the one who committed the crime?”

For TotK, “Consider something for a moment. You order your soldiers to ‘exterminate Hyrule & all her allies.’ Yet, even after you've been sealed away for 10,000 years. When you wake up, the Gerudo are still alive & thriving as a culture. Not only that, but they maintain their own autonomy as people & are able to enforce their own laws despite the exclusionary nature of some of them. Yet, they are our allies & they stand with us against you. What's that tell you?” (His thoughts & feelings, please?) “It should tell you that they're ashamed of you. Because, you lead them against a much bigger, much stronger, much more technologically advanced at the time civilization with far more people & far more resources. The civilization where they get their men. So, once you, the person commanding the bulk of their army (monsters), were sealed away, where did that leave them?”

"In your arrogance, you failed to consider what would happen to your people if you failed, because the very idea of failure likely never crossed your mind. As such, they were left without a security net to catch themselves, so they were forced to take the full brunt of it."

“When people are angry at a leader, they forget the fact that the leader isn't the same as the common man. They forget that the rich, entitled pratts in charge do not equal each & every member of their community. You certainly did.”

“So, since you have so little regard for us, your punishment will not spring forth from the lips of Hylians, but from those of whom you had supposedly wished to aid.”

“We will deliver you to the Gerudo, they will try you, not based upon the laws of Hyrule, but on the ancient laws upheld by the Tribe of the Sand Spear. You will look upon the faces of those you failed. Those you left to the wolves in your mad dash for power. You will look upon the faces of those you have harmed most with your actions & they will decide, free of any outside influence, what to do with you barring execution. For it has been determined that capital punishment will be ineffective in your very unique case.” (Keep in mind that TP Gan would still be unaware of the fact that the Gerudo still lived here.)

“Here’s hoping that you’re a more hands-on learner… For everyone’s sakes…”
