"Reviving Faith Locally and Nationally: Igniting the Flame of Revivals"

   Although the Renaissance and Reformation eras are considered the beginning of the spread of the word of God throughout the world, revivals that would periodically occur were not only the Holy Spirit’s showers that would water the seeds that had been sown but also the occasions when God would awaken men and women from their sleep and prepare them to carry out His work effectively.    Revivals…

How do you feel about concepts for redeemed/good guy Ganondorf? I don't remember if you've said anything on it before, so I am curious to see what sorts of thoughts you have to share or if you've thought about the idea before (especially since you've worked on SoF so I assume you've thought about many possibilities of a "what if" Zelda game)

For my part: I have mixed feelings, and I think a lot of concepts end up being "I want a buff guy to ship Link with"; I also think a lot of criticisms of the racism in many depictions of Ganondorf have merit (though I don't speak on them in depth because I'm white) and would love to see a more favorable/complex portrayal of him and other characters of color in LoZ. I personally haven't seen many versions of good guy/redeemed Ganondorf that really engage with the base structure of the LoZ games but I would love to see one that did.

Anyways I love your blog and analysis and I love seeing someone who finds analysis as inherently a part of their engagement with fandom as me, it's really nice :) I hope you're having a good day

I never posted about it much but sof did actually have a somewhat redeemed ganondorf, or as close to "good guy" as i'm willing to go with him in my own writing. sof was/is very much about me exploring the religious aspects of the lore and issues of fate vs self-determination, so my ganondorf was a much younger version of the character (similar in age to link and zelda) born into an extremist hylia-worshipping doomsday cult. in sof, ganondorf finds the remains of DEMISE'S sword and believes it to be the master sword, so when it starts ordering him around he follows the orders without question, believing that he's hearing the voice of hylia, and basically everyone in his life affirms to him that this is the correct choice and he's hylia's chosen one. Because of the intensity of the religious doctrine he was raised with, he has no problem following the sword's orders even when they become progressively more and more violent, and by the time link and zelda get to him he's nearly past the point of no return. (this is also partially a product of the setting I chose to put sof in--it's one of if not the first cycles after sksw, so the hyruleans' understanding of the reincarnation cycle and their own general history isn't super solid.) So that's my personal take on a "good guy" ganondorf, and, i think, the way i'd like to see it done in canon if ever they choose to go that route--because loz deals so much with the concepts of fate and cycles, I think leaning into a ganondorf who isn't inherently evil but can't escape the fate that waits for him is a fun way to take it.

listen the Seven haven't performed any miracles YET and they haven't practiced human sacrifice YET but given the way things are set up for the beginning of TWOW i don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for those things to change

i don’t think i’ll render them but here’s some sketches of my fav followers from my 2nd play through

I've been thinking about why FCG's death affected me so much to the point of still thinking about it days later, when that didn't happen with Laudna, who's my second favorite character.

And i realized it's because with Laudna, we had the aftermath immediately after her death.

True, Otohan "killed" her in ep 33, but she didn't die permanently until ep 34, and we had the entire episode to grieve with the characters.

With FCG, he permanently died at the end of the ep, and we didn't have to time to actually grieve with the other characters, hence not properly grieveing ourselves.

I think we need the catharisis of next ep to start letting go. We're still in a post death limbo.

After living to almost 278, Hatred deserves something nice to get his mind off reviving over and over again-

Like an Ex bishop squid boyfriend-
