Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s hot Ganondorf is thanks to one designer who really loves him

You’re probably not the only one raving about Tears of the Kingdom’s Ganondorf, and it turns out his look is thanks to a designer who really loves him.

Look: Ganondorf is hot. He always has been, he always will be. Yes, he has a mean streak, but who among us doesn’t love a bad boy a little? We knew from the very first Tears of the Kingdom trailer that Ganondorf would be returning in some form, and everyone was quick to call him Dehydrated Ganon. They all expected him to rehydrate somehow. Then came the final trailer for the game, which showed us Ganondorf in all his power (and with his most bare chest), which yes, everyone liked. And it turns out that we have a specific designer to thank for the good job he has done.

speaking to the edge, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and game director Hidemaru Fujibayashi talked about all things Zelda, and to end the interview, they were clearly asked why this version of Ganon is so attractive. According to Fujibayashi, it’s thanks to Ganon’s main character designer. “With Ganon, this design really started with Twilight Princess,” Fujibayashi said.

“There is an employee [Satoru Takizawa] who has been in charge of Ganon’s design since Twilight Princess, and Ganon holds a very special place in the heart of this staff member [laughing].”

“Because this staff is a veteran of the franchise, they can really think about the needs and the needs of the entire team. There’s a part of this person that really sealed the love they have for Ganondorf in the designs that I’ve done in the past. But when I made this request to really make Ganon the way he is, because this time the spotlight is on him, and he really is a crucial and integral character, I vividly remember the twinkle in this person’s eye. How they heard this.” .

There you have it folks, you can send your compliments to Takizawa (please do it spiritually). Now we just need to know who designed the Purah, who everyone is thirsty for too, obviously.
