Do not look away. You witness a king's revival…& the birth of his new fanbase.​

Ganondorf has finally been rehydrated, making his first full appearance in a new mainline Zelda title in 17 years. So it's no surprise that social media has gone absolutely wild with fan art for him. So I, being surprised that a thread on the topic hasn't been made yet, decided to make this thread to compile all the great Ganondorf fan art out there. But there are two things to keep in mind...
  • Don't just post the image alone. Embed it if you can, but otherwise always include a source. We gotta give the artists credit.
  • Like with other fan art threads, keep it safe for work.
Anyway, here are 4 that I found...

Look, I'm totally asexual and even I said, OH MY GOD when I saw how Ganondorf looks here. I completely understand the fanart.

NTR Ganon has been a thing in a very specific Link and Zelda fan art community for a while and this is going to escalate things.

i really love the fanon that this iteration of the trio were like allies or something beforehand before ganon went full evil. it has no relation whatsover to the game but it's a bit of fun to see them in a more sitcom environment

Trust me, there will be massive amounts of backlash if the next Smash game doesn't switch to this version of Ganondorf as the default.

Here's hoping they actually update his moveset to align with his character more and give his old moveset to Black Shadow with a few tweaks.

While that has no basis, I have been saying for damn near four years that this Gerudo Voe is the hero from 10,000 years ago in the BotW tapestry.

That Demise seems to be making an appearance in the trailer and something is happening to this character only makes me that much more certain. This isn't our Ganondorf, or, at least, he didn't used to be.

EDIT: Case in point

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel announced

If people literally think this is the same Hyrule as BOTW as in 1:1 pixel perfect then I don't know what to say. This cannot seriously be something people are worried about.

The model will be there, but he will keep the same old moveset that has never worked and only has very surface level references to the Zelda games.

The design is sick, so I'm not surprised.

Offtopic:
Why is that every thread about fanart uses the exact same wording in the title? Is this a reference to something?
It's always "X from X has developed quite the fan art following"
