Help me... Splitting headache...

Because the sages caught him off-guard; the game itself says this, so we know it to be true. They cite this as the reason they were able to capture him. If he does not have the Triforce of Power, they should be able to capture him with little difficulty and not need to ambush him.

That's just stupid, in that case it is smarter to assume the ToP was given to him in that instant. How the hell could he learn it's power in that situation? It makes more sense to assume he got it there. Hence the name "Divine Prank".

For the 1231738916th time: "divine prank" is a figure of speech used to refer to an unfortunate circumstance, in this case, the fact that Ganondorf survived a would-be death wound. They "overestimated their ability" to destroy him; because he has the Triforce of Power, they cannot kill hm. If he did not have the Triforce of Power, there is no overestimation of their ability; he was saved by an act of the gods, and their foolishness does not play a part as their ability to destroy him did exist but was merely circumvented.

He doesn't know there are other parts; that is certain. He thinks he has received the full power of the gods, whereas in OoT he was unable to gain full mastery of the world even after he conquered both the Sacred Realm and Hyrule. In the Child Timeline he is captured and has no chance to come upon this revelation.

This is the only part of your theory I dissagree with Lex. I think he knew he didn't have the whole tri-force but after being essentially ressurected from the dead by the ToP he decided that one piece was enough.

1. Ganondorf was never resurected in TP.

2. He doesn seem to notice partway through the game that he only have part of the triforce, but his goal in TP isn't to get the Triforce and make a wish to rule Hyrule. His goal is domonation.

I'm talking about after he was stabbed in the execution scene. That can technically be considered a ressurection.

Do you mean does or doesn't? It's hard to tell.

So Ganondorf was in the SR for months? I doubt it. As the triforce rested in the temple of light, which is connected to the ToT. It wouldn't take that long to get to the triforce and leave.


If zelda returned to the castle, she would have to escape a 2nd time when the castle is destroyed, then become shiek. It was implied that she went into hiding after she tossed Link the Ocarina.

He should know there are other parts if he touched the triforce. In OoT he said he was looking for the other two bearers since he had only received his one piece.
If he touched it, he would know.

Touche.

mm? Oh sorry. I sometimes do that. Let me rephrase myself...

Yes they caught him off guard because he was a mere mortal, then he was moved to the execution chamber and the sages spoke alot. He could have escaped easily. The only reason he was caught is because he did not have the ToP. The instant he gets it is when he escapes. It is not a coincidence it flashes like that in that moment.

Now why the hell would ganon allow the sages to stab him? He would not, he is not stupid. He was helpless because he did not have the ToP. It was a big ass wound that stayed with him. The goddesses granted him the triforce right after he was stabbed.

Ganon knew about the other pieces in TP.

Half credit.

Ganondorf has the Triforce of power but it's powere isn't activated untill he's on the verge of death.

Ganon knew about the other pieces in TP.

Not untill after he killed that sage...

Yeah that's basically what I was getting at. He doesn't care about the other two pieces because he thinks the ToP is enough.

Patience is a virtue Shiekah. Wait for Lex as it is his theory and therefore he is more qualified to talk about it than me.

Exactly. Case closed.

Ganon knew about the other pieces in TP.

Not untill he killed the water sage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not untill he killed the water sage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure....why not.

Pinecove, can you explain what the water sage dying has to do with it? I'm kind of lost on your point.

Sorry.

Ganondorf doesn't notice he only has one part of the Triforce untill after the whole attempted exocution.

I think he means that when ganon obtains the ToP, he can see two marks are missing in his hand.

I don't think he ever really realizes it. As he doesn't know it can split.

He does know.

1- He can see in the back of his hand that the there are two missing pieces to his triforce.
2- Before the final battle with ganon in TP, he says something about not only he has been blessed by the gods, when he says this he immediately turns his head to look at zelda. Knowing she has the ToC.
4-He kidnaps Zelda, he has no reason to do this unless he knew she had something.
3-He is unaware link has the ToC,but he knows it exists.

1243? Very origanal order sheikah.

1. Touche.
2. You mean the ToW.
3. Or totall domonation. If the queen of england were to be kidnapped the whole of great Britan would be thrown into chaos. same with Zelda and Hyrule.
4. Exactly.

I stress though that Ganondorf has no objectives in TP to get the Triforce.

Ooops sorry about the numbers.

2-Yeah, sorry again.
3- Zant had already invaded the castle, why would he grab the soul-less princess if it was not for the ToW? We already defined she has it.
