Ganondorf in TP. My theory.

All we really know about ganondorf so far in The Twilight Princess is that he is going to do things we will never expect.
Ive been thinking about it for a while, and i began to form an opinion that ganondorf would eventually co-operate with link and zelda - because i dont think that he is the main villian.

Ok here goes....
Remember this is all just a theory...

The twilight king attacks hyrule castle and brings it under the 'twilight shadow.' Zelda is forced to surrender.
He begins to search for an entrance to the sacred realm that is connected to Hyrule, so he can corrupt the sacred realm and destroy the power of the triforce.
At this time the twilight shadows have spread across hyrule. Link pulls up the master sword at this time.
After link pulls up the master sword, The twilight shadows begin to corrupt the sacred realm because the twilight shadows gained entrance (just like ganondorf did in OOT) to the sacred realm. Because the sacred realm begins to fail, so does the power of the triforce.
But the twilight king forgets about ganondorf, who has been trapped in the sacred realm for centuries. Ganondorf escapes the sacred realm the same way that the twilight shadows came in.

At this time the triforce symbols on Zelda's, Link's and Ganondorf's hands begin to fade. (remember if the triforce loses its power, hyrule will fall, or even be destroyed.)

Ganondorf cares about hyrule and the power of the triforce so much that he momentarily allies with link and zelda to destroy the twilight king.

Ok good people, tell me what you think of my theory so far, and by all means feel completely free to post some of your ideas about ganondorf's role in Twilight Princess, i would like to hear more ideas.

Shouldn't this be in a future Zelda thread?

O well.

This theory is no where new, accually this has been around for quite some time.

We have no clue as to the part Ganon will play, let's hope it's really as intresting as your theory.

Yet, some how I doubt the master sword is the entrance to the Sacred Realm now. I believe I've seen a screen shot of it in a forest...HUM? Why in the forest?

I guess in the end... We will have to wait to know, I personally believe it's something no ONE knows, Nintendo is hiding a huge secret... Kind of like they did with Link growing up in OoT, like Kojoma did in Metal Gear Solid 2 with Snake and Raiden. Guessing is all good, but, seriously, who is going to figure this out when Nintendo's so secretive?

Yeah, it must be really juicy if nintendo has pretty much witheld almost all information about ganondorf. Still, a bit of speculation cant hurt.


Perhaps the master sword isnt the key to the sacred realm this time, and its quite likely that the sacred realm isnt involved at all.

But If Ganondorf is still in there, how else would he escape?

Note: I think this belongs in the theories thread because well, its a theory.

Well, I do believe the Sacred Realm is in the game... Quite possibly the Twilight Realm is the Sacred Realm. Maybe Ganondorf is the Twilight King, if there is one... We still don't know who that individual is... It could even be Midna. Ganondorf doesn't have to escape to be in the game, he could be also be controling the Twilight King or Midna in a way of trying to escape. Who knows?

Hardly.

Spoiler (Highlight to read):

The Twilight Realm supposedly "appears" only at twilight, just before dusk. This is very very different than the Sacred Realm.

I suppose the reason i thought ganondorf would defend hyrule from destruction, is the way he acted at the end of The Wind Waker. Saying that he always 'coveted the winds' that blew across hyrule... I never realised how much he cared.

The Twilight realm and the sacred realm... The same?
I was thinking more that it just got affected.
It would explain why hyrule is falling into decay in Twilight Princess.

LexLionHart, if your still there, or anyone else,
Does anyone believe the sacred realm to be the 'source' or strong point - the thing that keeps hyrule in balance? or is it the triforce itself? or is it both? or does the sacred realm keep the triforce in balance?? Quite often the nature of the sacred realm has always been sketchy for me.

I've haven't heard that, but I'll take your word for it.

As far as the sacred realm or triforce giving balance to hyrule... The Sacred Realm is just the place that houses the Triforce. Consitering it's know as the dark world in ALttP I find it highly unlikely that the Sacred Realm upholds balance.
And I'm myself have difficulty understanding the Triforce. I believe it's a symbol of the Gods power, nothing it upholds.

I read it in the one article I accidentally stumbled upon while searching for screenshots. If you don't believe me, wait until the game comes out. Apparently someone from the starting village makes the comment about the twilight.

Oh i think i get it.
The Sacred realm only affects hyrule when it becomes corrupted (isnt that what happened in OOT, according to Rauru, it transformed hyrule into a world of monsters), and it doesnt affect the triforce itself. The Triforce affects the sacred realm and hyrule.

I never said I didn't believe you. It just from the articles I've read lately it seems all of Hyrule is under this Twilight, not spreading at dusk. But, I don't want to argue this, since I have no way of really knowing. Let's wait on the game before arguing about it.

Well, the Sacred Realm is currupted by Ganondorf when he is sealed in there, and thus a transformation takes place making it a dark world instead of the Golden land. Accually I believe Ganondorf did this when he took the Triforce of Power when Link opened the door of time. And yes the Triforce affects both Hyrule and the Sacred Realm.

The Master Sword was the final key to the Sacred Realm until tWW when it was there to keep Ganondorf's power in check . I think that Link pulliing the sword opens the door that OoT Zelda and Link had permanently shut. Somehow, I have a feeling Link pulling the sword isn't going to be a good thing. So far it hasn't been in the 3D Zeldas.

Yeah thats what the theme of the master sword has been like for a while...
I agree, and better still, it fits in with my theory.
