As I said in my previous post, suppirt is better shown through first party new IPs rather than altering existing character.

And as for your second part of that...yes he is the same Ganondorf, just from a different timeline.  ;)

 

I don't agree. It takes time, money and a lot of effort to create a new character that the world can simpathize with. It takes a few second to take a recognized face and change it to show your support to diversification.

And different timelines allow for character changes. Ganondorf isn't a pig in that game. Link doesn't have to be a white male in this new Zelda.

I see what you tried to do, but it still is false.  You see, all timelines come from the Unified timeline, where Demise set a curse to cause the reincarnation of the hero (Link), Hylia, (Zelda), and himself (as Ganon).  So in theory, if we get a female Link, I want a prince Zed!  But that won't happen as they seem to reincarnate as their former selves, just without memory.

 

The problem with altering an existing character comes from the fact it is obvious they are only doing it for the press.  However a new IP can give much more depth to the character and that persons story, unbound by previous lore.  In fact, should they invest in said IP, it would show more support than just pissing off fans of a franchise by taking the cheap way out.  ;)
