"Together we make three, so you're always stuck with me."
That one line perfectly sums up the whole series.
True
True and also any three of them can say that
I read this comment just as I heard that line.
@@robloxcool88 same
Best part of that. It’s to the beat of Zelda’s lullaby. It’s almost mocking them. No matter what peace you find. I will ALWAYS take it from you
During the bridge, when he says “My hate will cycle and will soon be born anew!” I always picture one of Ganon’s other incarnations flashing up on every syllable, ending with the BOTW 2 teaser where his head just snaps toward the camera
That is scary....
Brb gotta make an edit
@@squigeon7959 id love to see that
SOMEBODY ANIMATE THIS-
@@squigeon7959 Where that edit at my man?
the title looks like 'Nate wants to battle the evil king,' go ahead Nate, you battle that evil king
lol yep XD
Jared Prather **slowly clapping** yes
+TrueTampur Well he is some kind of King.
Pyron 5 BLESSSS
the evil king vs the music king. who will win?
I say Nate.
And then Ganondorf was quickly defeated by a 9-year-old in a 16-year-old's body with an empty bottle.
A weapon far more powerful than the master sword
@Jordan Robshaw For a second I thought you meant it's more powerful than the longshot.
@Jordan Robshaw Oh, cool.
@Jordan Robshaw LONGSHOT!!! pun intended?????????
No he got turned into a 17 year old so technically in majoras mask he was a teenager in a kids body because he had to age it’s part of the reason majoras mask is so dark
oH my god when I realized the chorus had a spin on Gerudo Valley I WAS BLOWN AWAY this is AMAZING
Yo, it took me 4 yrs to find this out
I knew I recognized that chorus somewhere!
Notice it starts out the same as This Old Forest transitions to Time to Go just before the chorus, and Zelda's Lullaby is in there too even
I WAS TODAY WHEN I LEARNED THIS!!!
The chorus is Gerudo Valley, the first verse is the same melody of "Same old Forest" and the pre-chorus is the same as "time to go"
I just love the end with Link's retort.
+Elemix ILLUMANTTI CONFIRMED
Nate actually voiced Link For Zelda Universe's dub over of skyward sword lol
linkbox135 Where is it I need to know. EDIT: The dub of SS
At one point I was thinking "when is link going to respond?"
...then I remembered the obvious lol
its also interesting cause you see the golden gauntlet through the whole video in a pool of blood. i would see it more as Gannon's has won, link is badly hurt and maybe missing a hand, and this is Gannon's last gloat before killing him and sparking the hero's fall timeline.
Imagine the first verse. A scared little boy is left abandoned in the desert and told to meditate alone. Terrified and in solitude, he heard Demise whisper to him and corrupt him.
You mean demise?
@@novamarpo3 damn this touchscreen
Yoooo that’s far better than having Ganondorf be a reincarnation of Demise.
New headcannon acquired! Lol
I like this theory.
Every time I look for this song, I use "Nate wants to battle Ganon."
And every time I'm like "Damn Nate you might be overestimating yourself."
It took me waaaay to long to get that
“my how much you’ve grown, such a shame you’ll die alone” that hits hard when you know the entire story of ocarina of time link cause he really did die alone
As someone who isn't much of a Zelda fan, could you elaborate on that? My scouring ZeldaDungeon currently isn't showing anything in this vein of Link dying alone, haha
@eadlirez If I recall it right. The Link of Twilight Princess is sporadically trained by a Ghost/spirit (Hero's Shade) that can turn into a light/golden wolf. In his final training with Link, the Hero's Shade states that and then calls him "my child" before leaving.
So it's heavily implied that the Hero's shade is the Hero of Time of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Masks after he was sent back to the past by Zelda. (I think even the spirit of Light refers to him as The legendary Hero).
However, the Theory is that no one, apart from the spirit, remembers that he was the Hero of Time. In the Castle graveyard of Twilight Princess, the player can find a tomb stating that the "Cursed Swordsman rests beneath the sacred tree" implying that whoever this tomb was for didn't have a great life or at least a good end.
Why, how? Is the Hero's Shade truly the Link of OOT/MM? who knows? But the theory is there. Has Mido become that weird puppet master? So many questions and no answer =(
u **** im playing it and u spoiled me, I will haunt u forever xd
Imagine Jonathan Young with his villain voice singing this.
QUICK UPVOTE THIS!!!!
This song is good enough already.
Change My Mind.
YES.
Aaron Long Huynh who with what?
@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 look up jonathan young disney villain song covers. Hes amazing
The line: "Together, we make three, so you're always stuck with me..." Is the best line i like in this song.
This song is like a compilation of all the others. There's references to almost all the other songs on the album.
"Called you the hero of our time." = Hero of our time, Far Away, & Lullaby(says "Hero of our time")
"You're just a thief, took what is mine." = Hands of a Thief
"The same old boy, the same old house.", "So tell me boy," & "And until then," = Same Old Forrest("So tell me boy..." can be heard at 3:00, and "And until then..." can be heard at 3:15)
"My praises you will..." & the instrumental itself = Shell
"Now I don't mean to alarm you,..." = Time To Go
"You heed the ever sounding call,..." = Twisted ("You heed the ever sounding calling.")
Drowning & Grounded are ones I can't seem to find a reference to.
The line "You're just a thief, took what is mine." is so ironic. Ganondorf really does have that mindset, yet he started as the king of THIEVES.
I just realize this
well this form of ganondorf was the king of thieves. if I has to guess that was more of demise talking through ganon.
Well there's also the idea that someone would dare to steal from the King of Thieves is perhaps an insult in Ganon's eyes.
Technically it wasn’t Ganondorf he only takes the form of Gerudo which are females. They’re just damned to have Ganondorf reincarnated as the male that’s born every time. He’s destined to be king of the thieves by fate.
@@getoffmylawn6275
According to lore, there's a Gerudo male that's born once every 100 years, and he's to be the new chief. They just got unlucky when the male that happened to be born 100 years later was Ganondorf.
That moment when you hear Gerudo Valley as the rhythm of the song...
yesss
I was actually going to comment about that, good job on noticing as well.
I couldn't remember the name of it but I could hear it
I was wondering if anyone else noticed xD.
+SirSparkie1 same
It's so interesting to me that Ganondorf tells Link, "you could never understand how it feels to be alone," even though Link was treated like an outcast all his life for being the only Kokiri without a fairy.
But he was never alone. He always had multiple people on his side, backing him up physically and emotionally. Both Saria and the Deku Tree explicitly favored him even before the events at the start of Ocarina of Time. Ganon had... malevolent spirits of spite and vengeance, and that's literally all.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 Ganondorf was king of the Gerudo since birth, and the Twinrova raised him as their son. I'm very interested in stories where the hero and villain have similar backgrounds, and it lead one to evil and one to righteousness.
@@sarebear1800 Like I said... malevolent spirits of spite and vengeance. As for his status... how many people do you imagine have a meaningful personal connection to their monarch?
@@dontmisunderstand6041 The Gerudo aren't spirits, they're just people. I can't speak for personal connection, since I've never had a monarch, but the leader of a kingdom is hardly an outcast.
@@sarebear1800 ... Koume and Kotake are the malevolent spirits.
For the record here, you're doing a good job at proving his point. "You could never understand how it feels to be alone." Not just Link, but basically everyone else. Including you, the audience. You can't even *conceptualize* it, that's how foreign it is for you.
Always love to see the legend from the perspective of the other side.
I love that line “Call you the Hero of our Time. You’re just a thief, took what is mine.”
Shows Ganondorf’s pride in his destiny.
I also feel there’s a sort of pity at the start. Not much, but a measure of regret over having to do what he does.
Songs like this are why Nate has always been our King.
All hail king Nate
*bows* Hail the Great Lord Nate
Let's sacrifice virgins to him.
NatewantstoRule
Nate will be the true ruler of Game of thrones
i like how he uses words that Gannodorf says in the game
He does that with all his songs about games
I never realized how much of that dialogue I remembered until I heard these songs... it feels like I've heard the songs before but that's just because I know the lyrics lol, never had that experience before.
"These toys are too much for you!" I love the Ganondorf quote.
I was hoping there would be a bigger mention of Ganon's motive for taking Hyrule. I mean other than being power hungry. Wind Waker reveals that the reason he choose Hyrule of all kingdoms to conquer was because of it's wind. The wind that howled in the desert, be it hot or cold, brought only death. However the gentle breeze across the plains of Hyrule was kind to everyone. In his own words he "coveted that wind".
He wanted to steal a nice place because his house sucked.
Dudebro Gaming Wind Waker takes place so far in the future that Ganon is able to quietly reflect on his actions, separated from the heat of the moment.
Notably he never uses his desire for the wind as an excuse. He wanted the gentle winds of Hyrule so his people could have a peaceful future, however to obtain them he became evil.
He really didn't have a choice in the matter. Demise's curse made sure of that.
So realistically speaking, Ganon wants to be a hero, but can't because he's stuck to his rule? Guess I've got a better reason to main him in Smash now...
@@RoobySwirl sorry not true ganon is evil, he wants to plunge the world into darkness as stated in every game, you cant describe him as not evil because he is literally the reincarnation of demise
Amanda Carmen yet Wind waker ganondorf would be the least evil of all the ganondorfs that have been reincarnated, he wanted to save his kind sure he did evil things but he kinda had to as no king is gonna let some stranger take a godly power for free lol but of course he could of things the longer and harder way but that would lead to the gerudo dying while hes waiting to the triforce peacefully. Ganondorfs intention especially in WW were good but he did evil acts. Another thing to note is ganondorf could have killed WW Link and Zelda/Tetra twice or three times. Ganon let link go and the second time he hurt link but nothing to bad same with tetra or zelda he just knocked her out during that time as he saw the wisdom piece there. And then the final battle and bed scene he could of killed Zelda anytime there or in the final battle instead of idk cutting her limbs or her herself he just slaps her to the point if knockout instead of actually crippling her to the point of no battle. All ganondorf wanted in WW was the triforce to save his people from death, he had good intentions but did evil acts but he wasn’t entirely evil as the other ganondorfs
1) This is one of my favorite songs by you so far. The instrumental, your voice, it's just amazing.
2) I remember when you first said you wanted to do this album years ago. The idea of an album telling a story, let alone a really well known one like Ocarina of Time, amazed me. Now the album's out, and I've never felt more pride for another artist, ever. Good job, Nate. We love you.
Amen
+Ghoul Hartea you stole my line
Excuse me, but SUCKA WHAT?
+Ghoul Hartea Bruh.
+tutterbear98 If you like music that is one big story, then check out Famous Last Words, they even did a short film for one of their albums, my favorite band of all time, if you like Nate you'll like them!
I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that this song (along with others) are originals
Nate, you just keep blowing my mind.
ikr, Nate's a genius
I agree. I like how the words are new for each song. I also like this one in particular because of how it's shaped from Gerudo Valley, which is one of my favorite Zelda songs.
ikr, Nate is a god.
Sonic Hedgehog the natewantstobattleism ;D
+latias 64
The true religion.
That Gerudo Desert melody on the chours tho
The problem with listening to your music at school, is that I have to fight the urge to sing the lyrics.
Same
Same
SAMMMMMMMMMME
I thought this said "have the urge to fight" at first and totally agreed lol
Not anyone random mind you... just point me towards ganon and I'll give it a shot :D
@Cole Griffith Now that takes true Courage!
I can just imagine Ganondorf and Link singing this in a musical in my head now.
The funny thing is I don't like musicals. But since it's LoZ I'd probably watch it anyway.
same here
I would love to watch this as a musical, seriously I would. I love musicals and LoZ so this would be like a dream come true.
DarkMirria1 yeah
DarkMirria1 Oml YES
I really like how whenever Ganon said the word "King", it was cut out of a block, as if to show that it was just a title, with no substance to it. Nothing more than an empty word. Not sure if this was intentional, though having been with the channel for a while now I think it's quite likely.
Yeah that was a nice touch, but there is one thing I don't really get. Many of the other scenes feature rocky terrain and lava, implying it takes place near death mountain or some other volcano. Wouldn't it make more sense for the scenery to be more like gerudo desert, where Ganondorf grew up?
David Blaze maybe, but this is all about the climatic battle toward the end of OOT, which takes place in Hyrule Castle, which Ganondorf has corrupted and suspended above lava and obsidian, which is exactly what we see animated.
This is literally unbelievable. Incredible work! Huge fan
Hey Fabvl
Wait wat! Fabvl is here! :O
Seeing Fabvl here kinda makes me want to see a Legend of Zelda rap by him
Now I don't mean to alarm you but this song is too awesome for you

DevilBoss Ryan and I wish it was the background music for all the boss fights
Bonnie Fnaf Twilight Princess is my favourite game ever and the only zelda game Ive beaten
So much Noobnes in the answers of One Comment xDDD
@@Hamajii Yeah, I thought the whole "hero of our time" line would have made it clear that this is about OoT.
I am I the only won that's listened to this song non stop?? This song is freaking amazing!!!!
one*
Gill Fish O my god... Thank you X'D I was so excited I forgot how to spell
+fictional_mind_1517 only 700 repeats so far
no you're not
Not at all :P
at the end Ganon says "my praises you will sing". In shell, Twinrova says "the dark lord and king's praises you"'ll sing". Well played nate.
This song is basically built of echoes to previous songs from the album.
"The same old boy from the same old house"-- the first line from "Same Old Forest".
"Now I don't mean to alarm you"-- "Time to Go".
The chorus has the Gerudo Valley theme just like "Shell".
"You heed the ever-sounding call" is a line from "Twisted".
"Called you the hero of our time"-- Take a wild guess.
"You're just a thief, took what is mine"-- "Hands of a Thief".
From verse 2, "And now I need my, I need my room to fly" is another call-back to "Same Old Forest".
And finally (other than what you pointed out), you can hear backing vocals in the last chorus sing the chorus of "Same Old Forest" in counterpoint.
This song is amazing.
this is a beautiful song that gives hints of Ganondorf's past and how he felt living as a king of an already fallen country. i think that the legend of zelda franchise might end when Ganondorf successfully gets all 3 of the tri-force only to lose to a chipped piece of the master sword that was left their from either the present link or one/all of the past ones
Silver arrows are the chipped master sword while the magical sword is the depowered skyward sword.
This is fake info, but Skyward Sword was really trying to push that as a fact.
Gary Morrison The Master Sword can't break. That's one of the main points in Zelda lore. Having a shard of it would be impossible. Sorry, but I just thought I should point it out. Not trying to be rude or anything.
Gary Morrison Well if I'm not mistaken, Ganon has had all tree pieces in Link to the Past.
Justin Eclipse *three
I would love the fact that if the final game in the timeline it ended with link stabbing Ganon with the master sword and then Ganon destroyed the master sword in his final breaths before dying off forever ending Demise's curse forever finishing the cycle.
He's responsible for about half of my playlist
On the same boat
yes.
Only half ? He is for ALL my playlist...
Same ATM
same
I love how the chorus calls back to the hero of our time much like ganondorf and link are connected
Another very interesting detail is how the final chorus makes callbacks to "Same Old Forest" which can be heard in the background
This song is not only Ganon's "Reason you Suck" Speech to Link for defying him and "stealing" the Triforce of Courage. This is Ganondorf's view of the vicious cycle Demise has trapped them all in.
This song legitimately does not get old.
Id like a Zelda game where you play as Ganondorf. Something like prequel to Ocarina of Time that tells the story of him growing up with the Gerudo.
Oooo that would be cool :3
Basically, the Gannondorf story of Hyrule Warriors?
it would be a hentai game
I side with Ganondorf, actually.
He rejects the gods of Hyrule in all their hubris and vanity, their absence and apathy. Yes, even Demise, who lurks in his soul. His is a belief in humanity being in supreme control.
"You can't see it. FOR YOUR GODS DESTROYED YOU."
"Everything I do, I do for my people..."
The dudes a martyr.
when you put it like that, I cannot deny that Ganondorf may have had a "just" cause if you look at it with a certain perspective, but that's it. perspective. it rules all. why do you think people root for the antihero in games/animes/books? it's because of perspective. because he's the 'main character', everything he does s right and everything done against him is 'wrong'
going by that logic, It is perfectly possible for a game about gannondorf to come about wherewe all see gannon as protagonist and link as the big villian. (I think it would be cool if what we did was design the dungeons link had to complete)
Imagine taking on Beast Ganon with this theme...
I have not gotten that far in the game but this song would fill me with *_Determination!_*
Wrong game m8
Patrik Hajdúch
It's still the right game. Even though Ganon isn't on all fours, his Pig-like form would still be considered Beast Ganon. At least, that's how I always categorized him.
+CrimsonEbonyTears I meant the comment referencing undertale
Patrik Hajdúch
Ah.
NateWantsToBeYourKing
This comment is way, way, way too under-rated. It's so good that you deserve to be the king of this comments section.
Gotta say, I’m okay with that
Yep there's my kink
I want the final "YOU'LL NEVER BE MY KING!!" to end on the sword clash between Link and Ganon in Twilight Princess or maybe one of the many head stabs
Well considering this is based on ocarina of time I'm assuming it would better fit the ganondorf battle there
I love how Nate added the "they tell me boy, you'll find yourself, and until then" from same forest. At the end of the song
I love the last lyrics! I'd like to think it's Link saying "you'll never be my king"
+Collective of Chaos i imagine him putting up two middle fingers now
+Minisly Games XD that's perfect
It is
One kind of plot I think would be interesting for a Zelda game is if ganondorf actually had some sort of relation to link but he was forced to become evil
that would be very interesting
That would be a very interesting and refreshing concept for a Zelda game, and honestly I think it makes this song sound that much more awesome.
I think the most likely scenario is Ganondorf being Link's mentor, but turning evil and not entirely because of power; Ganondorf turns evil specifically because he knows Link is fated to one day face him, that fate will pit them against one another someday and by embracing his darkness, Ganondorf subsequently makes it easier for Link to fulfill his destiny and rise from student to master by defeating Ganondorf. Despite being fated to fight one another, in this one tale of the never ending cycle, Ganondorf defies fate by being able to see his student grow from a boy to a man, making him proud to be his teacher and denying the hatred of Demise that persists from legend to legend. Since both Link and Ganondorf use sword techniques, it isn't farfetched; it should be made that Ganondorf uses a trident until their final battle, where he switches to using the same sword he used before becoming corrupted. The dynamic between Ganondorf's will to be his own individual instead of driven by a constant cycle of death and rebirth driven by the past legends should switch once in awhile, demonstrating Ganondorf's struggles to remain himself rather then what Demise's hatred wants him to be. Might be a bit reaching though, I just think it sucks to be stuck in a cycle.
+Minronis I would buy that game in a heartbeat
@minronis
that is impossible, Ganondorf is pure evil.
he was never a good person.
I've been listening to this nonstop, Nate. I'm not even kidding. 19 hours and counting.
-send help-
1:31-1:41 Actually... Link can relate to Ganondorf's pain... *:'(*

It's okay. As of this comment, it's my 361st time...
Inkcorperated Records
such an epic moment xD the song just ended right as i finished ganon off "you'll never be my king" does a finishing blow
This video reminds me of how for all Ganon's evil, he himself is a victim of an evil not his own. Hyrule can never experience true peace until Ganon, Link AND Zelda are finally shown mercy and put out of their unknowing misery.
Going back and listening to this album almost two years after it’s release will really make you realize what you missed the first few times you listened to it. For instance, the most obvious reference to “Time to Go” in the chorus’ melody, among other references to songs in the album, but what really intrigues me is the hidden (or rather just drowned out) Link appearance near the end singing the chorus of the first song in the album, drawing on the support and love he received as a child. Very clever, mate. Very clever indeed.
Ganondorf in this song: ultimate badass
Ganondorf in the game: Wii sports tennis
I love this song and how it has parts from all the other songs in the album plus cant help but see other version of ganon and link just switching between them in the lyrics
I never got into Zelda, but this song makes me want to!! So frickin awesome!!!!!
same
PLAY THE GAMES
+Adam O Donoghue Is ocarina of time good?
+SunTheGoldenRedPhoenix Seven Imo, yes! Nintendo is releasing Ocarina of Time 3D as a Nintendo Select for 20 Dollars this month actually.
After OoT3D, play Majora's Mask 3D.
Not sure what you should play after that. I've only played OoT3D and MM3D tbh.
+SunTheGoldenRedPhoenix Seven I say it's overrated, but definitely a good start if you want to try getting into the series.
I'd also recommend Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
I just like how this song ends.
Ganon: My praises you will - I will be your king
Link: You'll never be my king!
Just like in Shell.
The chorus ends with the line "His praises you shall sing." except the final chorus where it is "His praises you shall--" Link is always fighting Ganon for the sake of Hyrule!
Sounds like Gerudo Desert but i love this song Nathan DO MAJORAS MASK
Jackattack2016 that's the point, is that it's music put to Gerudo Desert
Spencer Olson *lyrics
Its 2023 and the Evil King is BACK!!!
I really prefer Ganon as this character that started out as a monarch trying to provide for his people, but the nature of doing so led to what morality he had almost completely drying up. I like this song touching on Ganondorf's growing up in the Desert, as it references his development in Wind Waker as something besides "loltyrant."
I reject the Demise reincarnation plot device. It seemed really forced in trying to establish a root for it all, when I think Ocarina of Time's political situation and the Zelda, Link, and Ganon being in the right place at the right time is the only explanation we need. The King of Hyrule was a jerk, and Ganon sought out the power of the Triforce to end the harsh life for his people. We assume Ganon showed up and just demanded the Stones in a vacuum, but why don't we imagine the various leaders were either prejudiced against the Gerudo because of a prior war, or fearful of the King's wrath (look at that Shadow Temple for all the evidence you need there are some terrible politics in History's past)? Given the possible extinction of his people, Ganondorf's extreme methods seem proportionate.
A part of me thinks Zelda and the Deku Tree's premonitions regarding Ganon weren't so much about him being an evil person, so much as a weak one. He had plenty of reason to have anger and hatred in his heart, as much as a quest for personal glory... he is human, after all. No matter what his original intentions were, he was not ready to wield the power of the gods. What portion he received, though, was enough to corrupt him and essentially end whatever good was left in him.
...this would happen to just about anyone else, too.
Your argument is really good, I will give you that. But one could also argue that Demise isn't reincarnated, but more akin to a spirit of sorts. Ganondorf sought the power to save his people and was lead to Hyrule. While there, Demise could very easily have begun to influence him, inciting his anger and hatred of these people with so much wealth that eventually, he lashed out. Especially when Zelda and Link, the two Demise hates just because of his its history with the embodiment of Hylia and people in green tunics.
So, in effect, your theory is sound. There are tons of villains throughout the series that are not Ganon, with Vaati and Majora being two off the top of my head. These two are likely also influenced by Demise, with Majora likely having been a fragment of his power sealed away or a corruption of a different power by Demise. Demise's own name implies an "end" in which case, Demise is a spirit of the end, a harbinger of destruction. What do all of these villains have in common? They bring destruction.
This is why I believe that Demise could very well have had a strong influence in Lorule's downfall. Because the destruction of their Triforce spelled the end of Lorule without Hyrule's interference. The quest for the Triforce by Ganondorf could very well be Demise seeking the end of Hylia's power. Ganondorf just happened to be in the right place to try and take it, and was almost successful, had the goddess not thought ahead to weigh the hearts of those who touch it first.
When it is used subsequently, it is after it has been reforged in that timeline. This includes the Child timeline, as Link still bears the mark on his hand at the end of OoT. This means that the Triforce itself is on its own linear time, and is unaffected by time travel. What was my point...ahh.
To conclude: Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda WERE in the right place at the right time for the influences of the past to affect them, and drag them into a conflict. With the establishment of Demise's curse, the legend of Zelda series becomes a horribly sad story of those who must face against each other endlessly. You can observe this influence of Demise in particular throughout the Zelda series in the backstory of each conflict. Ganondorf was merely the first and most successful of all of Demise's own puppets, as Ganondorf as well as Ganon return subsequently to try and destroy Hyrule or control it. Numerous times.
Tanner Bates I like your opinion, but you can't just reject Zelda canon. I, for one, love the Demise plot. It kinda makes you feel sad for Ganondorf, since he can never truly die. It also makes him the ultimate evil, so you hate him even more than if he only destroyed Hyrule at one point in time.
That American Narrator do you though? I can't say I hate him. Because in Wind Waker, I genuinely feel that he was freed from the curse of Demise. He was once again just plain "Ganondorf".
This is due to the way Demise formed that curse:
"So long as your descendants live, I will return".
That curse required Link and Zelda to both to leave a legacy, either together or apart. If the hero had just stopped rising, or the royal family line died out, or someone left Hyrule with 1/3 the triforce (2/3 of which finally happened); the cycle of reincarnation would break, the gods would finally need to intervene to bind or purge Demise in whatever form he donned at the time.
Ganondorf would possibly be "born" (read: exorcised) one last time as a mortal, and time would march on. We see a new hero chosen anyway, and the goddesses bestow him with the newly reforged triforce of courage, in a world getting a new start, free of the past and the chains of Hyrule's histories; and that's that.
agreed
Actually, you're not far off.
There was a war. A war for the Triforce, which likely ended with the genocide of the Gerudo. Ocarina of Time immediately follows that. And Wind Waker Ganon is the same as Ocarina Ganon, hence his speech at the end. How could he have grown up in the desert if it was underwater? Plus, it's also canon that he escaped the seal Zelda put on him at the end of OoT and that's why the gods flood Hyrule.
And, as suggested above, perhaps he isn't Demise reincarnated. He is Ganon reincarnated, but I'd guess that it's only Demise's raw hatred that drives Ganon to be the King of Evil.
As for when he meets the king, I doubt he does even demand the spiritual stones. That would be way too obvious. He swears allegiance to the king and then secretly tries to force the other races to hand over the stones. He curses the Great Deku Tree, starves the Gorons, and does something to Jabu-Jabu, the guardian of the Zoras. Then he notices you and just quietly watches as you do his dirty work for him and then jumps in last second to steal the Triforce, which splits into three leaving him only the Triforce of Power. But that's all he needs to reign as king, even if he does want it all.
This needs to be on the radio. jesus man.

Am I the only one who can easily imagine an animated version of a music video for this?
Murphio can you draw? if yes, I neeeeed to see this
I can, though if I am ever doing it'll probably be a few years before I actually get to the point where I can do it.
I can. I could make animatic and animate when I have time since I'm in school right now. :3
that would be fuking amazing
Im actually planning on animating this once soooo 👀
When I get more comfortable with drawing humans that is lol
Ganondorf: you will never understand what it feels to be alone
Link: bruh
Ok aways had Saria but ganondorf had no one ganondorf had it worse
@@orangevod6122 true but I’m more talking about how ganondorf said link doesn’t know what it’s like to be alone when link pretty much threw everything away just to stop him
Not measuring who’s lonelier
But I’m mean no disrespect or whatever the correct word is fill free to correct me
@@israelwilson4022 oh ok i misunderstood you
@@orangevod6122 all good friend
Did anyone realize that most of the chords or lyrics are pulling a bunch of (not gonna say all because I haven’t checked, but a lot) of the other legend of Zelda songs he has sang? Don’t mean to alarm you- time to go, your just a thief- the bongo bongo one (don’t remember the name), one part is literally part of the chorus of drowning, they called you the hero of our time... do I have to say it... hero of our time... these were all that I realized but I just think that is so so cool
Edit: the same old boy the same old house- same old forest (expect a few more edits coming lol)
Edit 2: it doesn’t cut to the chorus of drowned but there is another connection, I haven’t found it but I was informed that it connects to all of them but grounded (rip grounded)
Edit 3: the chorus is from shell but it’s also just Gerudo valley so... yeah, I think the it’s such a shame you’ll die alone is from drowning, I know the now I need my I need my room to fly is from one of the other songs I can’t remember which one it might be time to go but it also may be far away I’m not sure and I haven’t checked too deeply
Edit 4: I still didn’t check but I was thinking about it and I think that the now I need my I need my room to fly is from same old woods but I could still be wrong about that but I’m pretty sure
nice analysis
Thank you I tried
Can't believe I'm just now discovering this masterpiece!
Learn to play this song with guitar and bass tabs on Give Heart's DLC shop! shop.giveheart.tv
Link, the hero of OUR time, please defeat the evil king, or we Will be grounded forever!
I’ve listened to all the songs, and this one, out of them all, is my absolute favorite.
"You'll never be my king"
I don't know what you guys think, but that ending was the best for the album
I listen to this song in school and I have to restrain myself from shouting and singing along with the lyrics because this is _such_ a powerful song.
anyone else notice this is set to the gerudo Valley theme XD listen to the chorus
I think it's clever! Since Ganondorf hails from Gerudo Valley. :D
He has another song set to the Gerudo theme as well called "Shell"
Yes! Shell is a good one too!! :D
Omg I've been wanting to say this forever! XD
yes
This is my favorite song in the album, it's fantastic that it's a mix of every previous song with even more things added, fantastic work Nate.
This song is awesome, and I love how at a few bits it sounds like the Gerudo Valley. Also, this is perfect for Ganondorf!!!
I can imagine that this song is actually CZcams's copyright system trying to copyright songs Nate has created. But Nate's fighting back of course. XD
Nate never stop making these songs about legend of Zelda you are a true god and a true king
InfiniteGaming Nate is
(He kinda did)
He is not a god endless he is like Lynaru or the other two gods that made Hyrule and you better listen to me because I'm brother and sister whith Sidon and Mipha and Ruto
HE WILL NEVER BE MY KING!!!
Zant would like to know your location
So I'm confused.... why doesn't Nate have more subs?
Having heard the rest of the songs on the album, I can fully appreciate how great this song is as a culmination of all the other songs with references to most every other song on the album using both lyrics and composition.
I never realized how well this fits not just Ocarina of Time, but Fable as well.
The background at 1:13 sounds really similar to the opening of Nate's cover of I Just Can't Wait To Be King . . . wait a second...
That song was about children looking forward to adulthood...
This song is about adults looking back on their childhood...
NATE YOU ARE A MUSICAL GENIUS
This legit sounds like a classic Gisney Villain song for arguably the best incarnation of the Gerudo King.
gisney
Are you Brazillian by any chance? That's the only way I can rationallize somebody saying "Gisney".
@@infinityalbi9840 It's a joke about their D looking like a deformed G.
"You could never understand how it feels to be alone."
*Breath of the Wild comes out, Link has some of the least readily-available interaction in the series and is typically portrayed in fan works as being a lonely, depressed mess*
ok how about you go into a coma for 100 years then wake up. no matter who you interact with you will always feel lonely and out of touch
I like the part when you made it say. " THESE TOYS ARE TO MUCH FOR YOU" from the legend of Zelda Ocarina Of Time I have that game and I love it if been playing ever since I was 5
This song just popped on my pandora and i have to say how amazing it is. I really love how the Ganon sound effect is implemented.
Ganondorf the man who no matter what must become evil and do evil things even if people don't understand
Zelda a reincarnated goddess who must reincarnate to do battle with that evil
Link a man who either by a curse from evil or a wish from a goddess to her ever loyal champion must rise up to fight evil
Each one cursed in a never ending conflict a tale of love loss and pain until all are freed of their curses they shall never be allowed to rest
Ganondorf curse of hatred must be broken with love
Zelda with letting go of what she holds dear
Link to lay down his weapon and allow his spirit to find peace instead of the endless conflict
all because of Demise
Attaboy Nate Attaboy. Solid solid. Now That is perfection.
My friend got me to listen to this song a few months ago, and it's still stuck in my head
The Completionist directed me towards this piece of art. Damn fine work, Nate.
Gosh I wish this album had a musical to go along with it...
Awesome. So awesome. It screams "Final Battle" or "I am the final boss! This is were it ends! This is the final stand!"
(edit) SO FREAKING POWERFUL!
My headcannon is that this is the last thing Link hears before he dies in the fallen timeline.
OMG THAT GERUDO VALLEY TUNE THOUGH IT WORKS SO WELL I AM IMMEDIATELY OBSESSED!!!
Oh my goodness I just noticed that. Nice touch!
Yes! Love this song. Love the echoes of previous songs in it!
Happy 7th Anniversary!
This is just so great! I really like the words, 'You're just a theif, took what is mine!' and at the end, 'You'll never be my king!'
Holy frick, that guitar, that VOICE ESPECIALLY 1:01 OMG! Flashbacks to the first time I ever found you, with Nightmare, which gave me chills...I feel exactly the same way with this song, chills included. holy frick this guy is good!! Your best song yet, Nate.
So Nate, first off, great song, second of all, I love how it combines sounds from the other songs on the album, it's really interesting
I've ben listening to this entire playlist nonstop for days, and my favorite thing about this song is still how it references all the songs have come before it. "The same old boy from the same old house" "Now I don't mean to alarm you" "The hero of our time" "My paraises you will sing..." And then that last line that brings the album full circle and ends where it started: with Link.
I just...good gosh. A+ songwriting all the way through here.
That Gerudo entwined in this just gave me shivers. This is freaking awesome. The quotes and actual full on story overlaying with this was just amazing.
It sure resoNATEs! Get it? GET IT?

Pbness Jellyness And that's a sad fact of life.lol
But give it time he just might
This song is so awesome i can't stop listening it always make me remember how great Ganondorf is my favorite video game villain ever
Ganondorf wasn't quite as evil as they make him out to be. Everyone sees themselves as the hero of the story. A evil force to you is a guardian of what's right to someone else.
No, If Ganondorf were to take the triforce, He would bring suffering to those who are affected by Ganondorf's victory.
Its best to keep the triforce out of ganon's hands.
Um no, even his own people are tired of him do you see what he did to the zoras,gorons,and castle town.
I honestly feel sorry for Ganondorf. You have to remember that the curse from Demise is what basically makes hime evil, right? He has no choice. It's an eternal. Some people might think it as a dark blessing for him but it's as much of a curse to him as it is for Link and Zelda. *sigh* Stupid Demise and his stupid curse...
+Jacob Jimenez I wish they'd make a Zelda game where they figure how to break the curse coz like, come on! Ganon makes a great a villain at all but, it's getting sad, you know? I love it but... really wishin they make a game that where Ganondorf is like a good guy. I bet he'd make a cool good guy. Hm...
+Neon Tronn I think it'd be interesting to see a Zelda game with Ganon as the main character with the game being him trying to break the curse. Not sure how the game would turn out but it would be interesting at least.
