    In the run up to Breath of the Wild, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, easter eggs and history of Zelda's Ganon. Ganon, also known as Ganondorf, has been with The Legend of Zelda since its inception. Ganon became more relateable when he was given a more human form, which has been present in everything from Ocarina of Time to Super Smash Bros Melee (ssbm). In our analysis of the character's history, the series lore, and beta zelda games, we discovered that Ocarina was once planned to be more like Super Mario 64, and that Ganon's monologue at the end of Twilight Princess was going to be much longer.

    If you ask me, of all the unusual items that can be used against Ganon, the fishing rod makes the most sense. Think about it: he grew up in the desert. He's probably never seen one before. So when his archenemy puts away the Master Sword and pulls this strange thing out in the middle of a battle, who is to say it's not some sort of ultimate weapon?

    I wonder why they don't canonically want Ganondorfs last name to be Dragmire. Maybe because if they introduced last names it could get weird 'timeline' wise, instead of being able to be more vague with everything.

      I think it was because those names were invented by Nintendo of America, not the original design team. Furthermore, wouldn't they then have to deal with the rest of the story in the manual, with its potential inconsistencies?

      Sadly the climbing part was left out, which is funny because the Talus mini-bosses are climbed in mush the same way.
      All the mechanics for a climbable Ganon are in BotW. They could have used the updrafts created by his lasers to get higher up on his body, and alternative ways include jumping off your horse, Ravali's Gale, or just climb the whole way.

  • @Morgil27

    I love how Miyamoto never wastes a good idea, and how stuff like the giant boss battle gets fully utilized in later games. I just get the feeling he's got a whole filing cabinet full of ideas like that, just waiting to be used in future projects.

    @ArcRay20 7 років тому +188

    "Ganondorf was a last minute addition to Melee" that finally explains why he is a clone of Falcon of all things. it doesnt explain why he has continued to be an uninteresting clone after that though.

    • @ArcRay20
      @ArcRay20 7 років тому +8

      would it change anything if the moveset(sans the Ganon Final Smash) were put on Black Shadow from F-Zero and Ganon had a whole new moveset? or would it "not feel right" to you?

    • @felixnilbog4517
      @felixnilbog4517 7 років тому +3

      I dont understand what you're asking

    • @BaneDane_JB
      @BaneDane_JB 7 років тому +18

      Since you prefer Ganon he's asking if you would think it would be better to "unclone" Ganon. (give him an original move-set) and in return add Ganon's clone moveset on Black Shadow (another F Zero character not in the Smash games)
      I like this solution as it free's up Ganon to be more original whilst not removing an altered play-style that exists.

    • @felixnilbog4517
      @felixnilbog4517 7 років тому +3

      BaneDain No matter how you slice it, Ganondorf is going to remain being a heavy fist fighting character, if he gets a new move set it cant be that much different.

      As pointed out in a MatthewMattosis video, a Gerudo male is only born every 100 years (think about it) to keep the tribe going Ganon's life has to get real incest-y for really really long period of time.
      (one could argue he only has to have one child or that the women doesnt have to be Gerudo but the age of the girls and the lack of other characters there makes that an impossibility)
      (though this is more likely an oversight than real lore)
      The real reason is their people are cursed due to the events of Skyward sword, and repeat themselves over and over again. Reading the full text from Twighlight Princess (the lines in this video) makes it a bit more clear.

    • @VonFirflirch

    Ganondorf has always been my favorite Nintendo character ever since he got a human form. It's why Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game. Ganon truely felt powerful enough to take over a kingdom, which was a sticking point for me in all the other games. But in Smash is where I really discovered the Dark Lord and Master. Who else will grab the opponent by the neck, lift them into the air, then pump a ton of dark energy into them to rocket them into the sky? To me, he's on par with Sephiroth, Kefka, Thanatos, and Lavos as powerhouse villains.

      I always thought an interesting game would be either the Triforces go to the wrong people, or just something causes Link to go crazy and become the antagonist, where Ganon now has to beat Link at full power in order to get what he wants. Could be fun. It would be vastly different than other Zelda games, but could be fun.

      It saves time and effort to just use record one laugh sound clip and speed it up than record 2 separate laughs. I never knew that OoT also used this trick until this video!
      SM64 and OoT use similar game engines, so perhaps Nintendo used this trick in both games as a sort of inside joke, just like how the infamous 'Eternal Star' statue texture was also used inside Dodongo's Cavern in OoT.

Ganondorf is usually just resurrected and has been the same Ganondorf in every Zelda game he's been in.

    The initial idea for the final boss in Ocarina of Time was interesting to hear about. It's like Shadow of the Colossus 7 years before there was Shadow of the Colossus. I'm actually glad they didn't go with that idea only because the N64 would not have been able to handle it properly and that part of the game would have sucked.

    I wish you would've included why Sakurai is never gonna change how Ganon plays in Smash. In that he reminds him too much of his dad.
    "Ganondorf is somewhat of a contradiction---in Smash Brothers, he's both powerful, yet sometimes comes across as a little worn down, a little tired. In a way, he was greatly influenced by my late father who passed away shortly beforehand. As a child, I viewed my father as a strict-disciplinarian, a man I both feared and respected. But when I grew up, I realized my father, that man I was saw as a powerful figure---a king---was often out of breath, and limped along. I wondered why I feared him so much? And in a way, that's how I've developed Ganondorf as a character. Personally I'm quite close to the character, and thus I find it difficult to bring myself to change him too much."

Can you imagine if they hadn't turned down that idea? And people disagree that he is the type of developer that drags down a game's potential in favor of technological capability. It bothers me that people worthship Miyamoto as some sort of god when all he did was have inital ideas for core mechanics in TWO franchises in their very early days.
