#that at first dont seem related to one another and are unique villains for Link and Zelda respectively

Cant sleep bc tummy hurts but its given me more time to think about my personal Zelda iteration and I think I finally came up with what this settings version of ganon is and it's really fun

I realized earlier that I had accidentally created themes of duality and trying to reconcile the different parts of yourself with Zelda and Links characters and I had already wanted to make this version of Ganon two seperate characters (inspired by the twinrova.)

So I have this idea of a rogue Gerudo who wants power and control, thinks the Gerudo people deserve it, and of course she should lead them. I'm gonna call her Gala but I havent settled on a name yet. She either summons or finds Ganon and hes this horrible beastial monster, barely has form, and all it does is hunger. Gala starts setting up more and more raids to feed this thing, thinking that by feeding it she can control it and its power.

The other Gerudo dont want this, this is insane, trying to raise Ganon back up? Gala has always been an intense woman but they never realized how much she craved power and control. She beats down anyone who tries to stop her, many Gerudo die or become possessed and mindlessly work for her. Many more flee further into Hyrule.

A small detail is Zelda and Link learn that the raids have been hitting a pig farm really hard, most of the livestock taken.

By the time the duo find Gala, Ganon has taken on structure, a massive monstrous pig like thing, barely held back by whatever Gala is binding it with. She's so proud of her monster, so happy that the Princess and her Knight are here to see the start of her reign. She releases Ganon, intending the two to be its first victims.

This monster doesn't know friend from foe, it only knows Hunger. Gala is directly infront of it. She turns just in time to see its jaws come down around her.

Ganon starts shifting, changing, the pig body collapsing and coalescing into a human shape. The thick body, dark skin, red hair of Ganondorf emerge. The lust for control and power and the Gerudo shape of Gala and the mad hunger of Ganon mixed together to form the man before them. Zelda and Link are forced to flee.
