When Evil Chose Peace - Ganon's Song (Legend of Zelda AU)

👑 "Like sand slipping through ancient hands..." Experience a haunting tale where Ganondorf, weary of his eternal role, lets go of darkness - only to watch as it claims two new victims.
🎵 Original Song by MythicTune
⚔️ A Tale of Choice and Consequence
The Story:
In the eternal dance of Light and Shadow, three souls have always played their parts: Wisdom shines, Courage fights, and Power corrupts. But what happens when Power simply... lets go? When the King of Evil grows weary not of losing, but of the game itself?
---
This is the tale of:
A villain who chose to step away
A curse that wouldn't die
Two lights that fell to shadow
And the former demon who must save them
Through haunting metaphors and melancholic melodies, witness the tragic irony of Ganon's choice. As the former King of Evil watches wisdom crack and courage bleed, he realises his greatest act of defiance - abandoning his role - may have doomed those he once fought. Now, the one who spent eternities destroying must learn to save.

This song explores:
The price of breaking destiny
When darkness finds new hosts
Redemption through responsibility
The weight of unintended consequences
Finding light in unexpected places

📜 LYRICS:
Like sand slipping through ancient hands
Like flames dying in sacred lands
I let the darkness fade away
And watched two lights lose their way
When thunder rolls back to silence
When golden power dims its glow
When destiny loosens its bindings
I finally learned to let go
As chains dissolve to nothing
The curse searched for new souls to claim
While I stepped out of hatred's frame
I didn't choose to turn
Just grew tired of the flame
Now shadow seeks new vessels
And I watch them burn my shame
When wisdom cracks like breaking glass
When courage bleeds to darker shades
When roles we played begin to pass
I see the price of choices made
As light transforms to shadow
Their purity begins to fade
While I learn steps to save
I didn't choose to heal
Just couldn't bear the game
Now I must guide them homeward
Through the dark I helped them claim
Like tides returning to shores unknown
Like stars finding paths back home
I'll lead them through this darker night
The villain turned to guiding light

Yessssssssss, can we get a dark romance where Link and Zelda meet up in this timeline

[@sgoldendragon3603]

As much as I love the other two, I think this one is actually my favorite of the three. While Zelda turns to madness and Link turns to rage, Ganon finds peace. I was expecting more aggressive righteousness, but really, this is much better. He doesn't exactly go on a crusade to fix everything- kind of the expected reversal of his normally evil conquest-, but instead, just kind of levels out and ends up being balanced and calm.

The gods will choose ganondorf as the new hero

[@zoante]

Creo que la contraparte de Ganon, si este se revelará contra la maldición, sería irse del puto Hyrule y empezar una nueva vida lejos del odio que le causó esa tierra llamada Hyrule.
Y creo que es hubiera sido más preciso usar otro género musical para este tema. Algo más estilo Pop 2010'. Por que si alguien no entiende inglés no sentirá lo que la letra quiere decir.
