Ganondorf And His Twilit Triforce
Hey Guys, my question/discussion involves how Ganondorf acquires his piece of the Triforce during his execution and role in Twilight Princess.
If my understanding of the Split Timeline is correct, Twilight Princess occurs on the Child Timeline of the split timeline and after Link has informed Zelda and the King of Hyrule of Ganondorf's intentions when he is sent back in time to his childhood at the end of Ocarina Of Time. From what I understand, the Hylian authorities get wise to Ganondorf's intentions before he can accomplish anything, and then get set to execute him at the Arbiter's Grounds by the sages. However, at the Arbiter's Grounds the execution screws up due to his acquisition of the Triforce Of Power and he is instead thrown into the Twilight Realm.
My Question Is: How did Ganondorf acquire the Triforce of Power?
He couldn't have gotten it previously during the child events of Ocarina Of Time as he was intercepted by the Hylian authorities.
When he did acquire it after Link opens up the Door Of Time and Link's sealed for 7 years, does his acquisition of the Triforce somehow transcend timelines? Meaning that if he gets it in the Adult Timeline, does he get in any other alternate version of him, say during the Child Timeline?
Or, was he, Link, and Zelda just born with their respective Triforce pieces? Do they just naturally acquire it or does someone have to touch the Triforce for that to happen? And if so, why didn't he use it to his advantage to take over Hyrule with his band of thieves? Or did he not realise it until too late when he was sealed in the Twilight Realm by the Ancient Sages?
This raises a lot of questions about the dynamics of Triforce acquisition. It's never really elaborated on much in Twilight Princess, just referred to as a "Divine Prank".
Your thoughts....?:O
