Ganondorf's Ears

Ok, Has anyone else noticed that in Ocarina of time, Ganondorf has round ears, like a human, but in Wind waker and Twilight Princess, his ears were pointy?

Please comment if you chose to.

yah i noticed that...hmm im not sure why though...

Because he was reborn as a Hyrulian? mabye?

Good theory, but unfortunately, no. The Zelda team officially stated that it is in fact the same Ganondorf in all three.
Good thinking though

I dunno. Continuity error perhaps?

that is wierd, they must have ovelooked them...

Yeah, thats what I thought.

It's just a change of design. His nose is also shorter.

I like him better with pointy ears, makes him more sinister looking .

To tell you the truth, I never gave it much thought.

Yes, i have certainly noticed that before. And when i noticed Ganondorf had rounded ears in OOT, i always thought that it is how it's meant to be for all Gerudo's. But obviously not any more, seeing as how Ganondorf's ears are pointed in WW and TP.
So i'm guessing that they just never paid much attention to the shape of Ganondorf's ears.

on the contrary, I think the designers of OoT payed attention. enough attention to make Ganondorf the only character WITH rounded ears. It must be the other game designers that DIDN'T pay attention, and made his ears pointed.

OoT was the first time we got to see ganondorf as a person, not just a piggy, so it was the origination of most of his "backstory" (what little there was).

all subsequent games should have taken the cue and kept true to the looks of ganondorf in OoT, since it set the precedent.

I very much agree about Ganondorf being the first human form, and also how people don't really think about it. I believe his ears were rounded because it made him that much more mysterious, giving him a somewhat "outcast" (compared to everyone else who had pointed ears) appearance.

Nope, actually in OOT ALL the Gerudo's have rounded ears. Which goes back to my saying, they didn't pay much attention.

I don't think there is really any importance to it, look at the rest of the series. There are changed in everything. No two zelda games hav ever had charactors exactly the same (exception being the oracles) even games which are directly related, they still hav minute diferences to the charactors, not to mention that there was a complete overhaul of the artistic style in TP, so something like the ears is to be expected to changeg with all that.

I thought gerudo's had pointed ears... I'll have to check that out.

mabye as Gerudo's get older there ears become more pointy (Ganondorf looks older in TP then OOT)

Lol @ some of these theories.
