On a more positive note, I still find the way Ganondorf's final decree is handled to be very intriguing. He vows to "exterminate the descendants of his enemies", yet in The Wind Waker he stills his hand, promising not to kill Link. It is a powerful change of character and I will share my own interpretation of it, but before that I'm wondering what other people think of the discrepancy - including, of course, the potential that Ganondorf is lying.

I don't think the Link in Windwaker is meant to be a descendant of the OoT Link, he was judged not to be by Jabun, and thus had to prove himself at the Tower of the Gods and collect the triforce pieces etc if I recall correctly (it's been about 4 years since I played it though)

And Helios presupposes that The Wind Waker is in the Adult timeline. I always thought it was in the child line

Though timeline bickerings would not damage the power of Ganondorf's TWW characterization

TWRoO: You're right, and yet Ganondorf says he considers Link to be the "Hero of Time reborn." What matters here is what Ganondorf thinks, after all.

Mr Khan: I'm just following developer canon. But you are correct, either way. So, how would you explain Ganondorf's change of character, if we assume The Wind Waker does indeed follow the child continuity?
