Wow. What a final trailer! At last we are only weeks away from Tears of the Kingdom’s release, and that final trailer just showed us that there is a massive story to be unpacked throughout this game. As Ganondorf was unveiled and declared himself “King,” I couldn’t help but recall his role in Ocarina of Time as the Gerudo King of Thieves. Tears of the Kingdom marks the first game he has appeared in alongside Gerudo since Ocarina of Time, and we all know whose side most of those desert-dwelling women were on in that era (apart from Nabooru).

This has me wondering if the Gerudo will recognize this new rehydrated Ganondorf as their king once more? Will some of them side with him during this conflict? From looking at his official artwork and his Gerudo jewelry, it seems that his desert roots are really being emphasized this time around, so we could definitely see some correlation between him and this tribe throughout Tears of the Kingdom. I wonder what this will mean for Link’s quest? We will know in a few short weeks!

What do you think of the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer? How about Ganondorf’s new design? Let me know in the comments!
