Why does the Zelda series exclusively focus on Ganondorf as an antagonist?

Anyone who doesn't want Zelda, Link, and Ganon need to go back, play some Zelda, and study the Triforce. If Nintendo ever tossed Bowser or Ganon because you people can't enjoy such great games, I will be really sad.

Agreed.

 

Ganondorf is a brilliant villain. He's an immortal demigod and an important part of what makes Zelda brilliant. I'd like to see him in Zelda Wii as the main villian through the entirety of the game. And if the Master Sword is a big focus of the game (which it looks at this point it will be) then I'd expect Ganondorf to have a strong presence in the game. I wouldn't mind other villains being in the game, but Ganondorf is the Big Bad.

 

 

if ganon is immortal and demigod, then zelda and link are the same thing, afterall they obtain their power from the same source.

That isn't the case. The Triforce of Power and the pieces of Wisdom/Courage are different. Ganondorf was already a powerful warrior and sorcerer without the Triforce of Power. With the triforce of Power, Ganon becomes an immortal demigod. Link and Zelda are 'reborn' throughout the series, and are destined to have their respective pieces of the Triforce. Perhaps it's because of the triforce that they're 'reborn'.  That's if you assume the series has a fixed timeline, rather than interpreting the series as one legend constantly retold, with components of the legend being changed with each telling.
