Confusion in WW

After getting through the Forsaken Fortress the first time, the Helmaroc King snatches Link and takes him to Ganondorf. Ganondorf orders the Helmaroc King to throw Link into the ocean. But he should have recognised Link's clothes, and killed him instead of throwing him into the ocean.

Well, everyone has a unique flow of their natural energies, so maybe Ganondorf can sense those flows so he knew that he was not the hero in the legend (The Hero of Time I mean). Its a possibility isn't it?

Link was unseasoned at the time.Ganon knew how green he was so he just got rid of him.

He did not kill Link because he needed him to get the triforce of courage so he could use link to speak to the godesses and tell them to give rebirth to hyrule!

Yeah, but there is one important detail. Last time I checked, Ganondorf can't filter oxygen out of water, he doesn't have a boat, & even if he did, he doesn't have a crane, so therefore he can't re-assemble the Triforce of Courage. 1 question that I have though, WHERE THE HECK WAS THE BIRD GOING WITH TETRA AT THE BEGINNING?! That bird is braindead or something, doesn't it know where it's home is? It was heading south off the boundry of the overworld, instead of going north. Stupid bird.

Perhaps Ganondorf thought that dropping Link into the ocean _would_ kill him. Think about it... if you're dropped in the middle of the ocean, no land in sight, you'd either drown or die of hypothermia. That is, unless you have an intelligent talking boat that comes to your rescue

There is also the fact that it's the ocean, so Ganon could have sent Gyorgs after him if he wanted. Wait, are Gyorgs just regular organisms, or are they creatures summoned by Ganon's evil magic?

I don't know. Probably Ganondork's creatures.

Gyorg was originally the boss of Majora's Mask, and someone else said that Termina was a part of the planet Hyrule resided on, so what if Ganondorf took Gyorg's body (whatever remained from its battle with Link), revived it and made copies of it all over the Great Sea. What do you think?

Simple.

1: The last time Ganondorf saw Link, Link was an adult. So, seeing this kid isn't really going to prompt him to think "IT'S HIM!!!"

2: Ganon(dorf)'s return from the Sacred Realm is what prompted the world to be flooded, right? (At least, that's how it sounds in the opening story. For all we know, that threat wasn't even Ganondorf, but assuming it was...) Well, Ganondorf knows fully well that Link wasn't around then, or else he wouldn't be needing to wish for Hyrule to return.

And, basically, his attitude with Link at the beginning was "discard him". Which the bird did. He didn't care about this runt at all. (You'd think he'd learn, wouldn't you?)

Well, everyone has a unique flow of their natural energies, so maybe Ganondorf can sense those flows so he knew that he was not the hero in the legend (The Hero of Time I mean). Its a possibility isn't it?

That would explain one of the reasons why he knew Tetra was Zelda right off the bat.

He didn't know it was her right off the bat.He only found out it was when his Triforce started responding to the piece Tetra had.

I always thought Ganondorf didn't have his triforce piece in this game? I know I'm confused, I haven't even come close to the game's ending. Still on Forest Haven.

Well, what would be the point in killing a little tiny boy for no reason, I mean Ganondorf doesnt care. He doesnt wasnt to waste his time killing him. And buy throwing him in the ocean would probably kill him, if he was stranded in the ocean.

Well lets think of it this way, If Ganondorf killed Link......THE GAME WOULD BE OVER, so Ganondorf thought that by not killing him the game would be longer and better. (even though the game is one of the worst zelda games)

Hmm, very interesting point. I never thought of it that way before. You'd think Ganon would show just the slightest bit of interest in someone who managed to get by all his other defenses. Then again, Ganon is so arrogant he probably just threw him out into the ocean as a display of his power.

Ganon probably felt that Link posed no threat to him. The fact that he managed to sneak into the Forsaken Fortress is irrelevant, since we all know how useless Moblins are.

He wouldn't know it was a game.....to him it's real life.

And i think Ganondorf simply chucked Link away because at that point in time he posed no threat to him so he simple got rid of him.

Yeah, now that I think about it, Ganon probably wasn't scared of a little kid. But, what about this quote I've heard so many times on different threads? 'Truly, you are the Hero of Time, reborn,' or something like that. If he is OoT Link reborn, wouldn't his life energy be at least sort of similar?

The King of Red Lions tells Jabun later in the game that the Link he has with him has no connection whatsoever with the Hero of Time. Sorry if I spoiled that part for anyone by posting this.

Maybe he let him live intentionally so that he would continue trying to save his sister. All those who have beaten the game know that the Triforce of Courage would be needed eventually at the end of the game, so maybe Ganondorf foresaw such an event.
