Summary
- Ganondorf has never been a deeply fleshed-out character in any one Zelda game: it was his multiple appearances in previous titles that made him interesting.
- Tears of the Kingdom was the first new incarnation of Ganondorf shown in the series that wasn't a direct continuation of Ocarina of Time.
- Tears of the Kingdom's Ganondorf had all the makings of a great rendition of the character, but making him a completely new incarnation took away the development Ganondorf had throughout the rest of the franchise.
