| the_dengle said: We interrupt this Sony vs Nintendo debate to bring you an excess of Zelda lore. Ganon is not the reincarnation of a God. He is... his will is that of Demise. It's an important distinction. Even Zelda, who in Skyward Sword was definitively the reincarnation of a Goddess, inherited only the memories of that Goddess, not her power. Ganon does not have God-tier power from birth, he acquires great power over the course of his eons-long life. It would only put him on God-tier if he obtained the full Triforce, as in A Link to the Past. But the Ganon who appears in Melee (or any Smash Bros) is not this Ganon. It is Ganondorf, merely a man with a great deal of power, who appears to be effectively 'immortal'. Even if Ganondorf was as powerful as Demise, Demise was defeated by Hylia. He was also definitively destroyed by the Triforce, which represents the power of the true Gods of the Zelda universe. Demise isn't exactly a God (his title is Demon King, not... God of anything), and his power level is about on-par with that of Hylia, who is herself not as powerful as Din/Nayru/Farore. I think we can reason based on this that Ganondorf is not as powerful as the Golden Goddesses, and therefore is not quite on the same level as Zeus.
I like the Kirby theories, that little dude is nuts. Haha. Also, don't anybody forget about this now. |
Ya your right about Ganon not being the reincarnation of a God, I haven't played SS in awhile, I forgot the Demise was just the "Demon King." That being said, gods in God of War are not at the same level as in zelda simply because they can be killed. Though Ganon does have the triforce of power in melee(intro cutscene), it would be difficult to see if that is enough to stop kratos and zeus, not to mention that depending on what version we have of kratos, kratos might not be a god either, which would make the fight between Ganon and kratos even more interesting.
