The Legend of Zelda Villains: Evil To Most Evil
As the Hero of Legend, continually reborn when Hyruleâs need is greatest, Link has faced his fair share of adventures. Heâs sailed the ocean, shrunk to the size of a Minish, and even worked with alternate versions of himself, acting as the last line of defense between good and the forces of evil. But which of these forces are truly diabolical, and who are just misunderstood friends?

Do The legend of zelda heroes good to most good
The scariest part is that Calamity Ganon, the primal evil that brought Hyrule to its knees for 100 years, is likely only a puppet of the true Demon King, Ganondorf......
Who himself is nothing but a manifestation of a curse, created by Demise!
imagine getting rekt by a puppet and yet it has no triforce power whatsoever.
@@Gazing-09 ganondorf is demise reborn as a mortal so that he can possess the triforce sense only mortals are allowed to use it.
If Demise is Satan, then Ganondorf is the antichrist.
2 years later⊠and your comment turned out to be true
Ahh, for me, the #1 spot will always go to Majora.
1) It's a freaking deity, only limited by the power of those who wear it's mask.
2) It doesn't want power for itself, or the Triforce or any of that. It consciously wants pure distraction, going as far as possessing an imp to get it, just for the sake of it. It has no allies rather than itself, it doesn't care about anything rather than it's ultimate goal of destruction.
And it Russian dances
(Stage 2, Majoraâs incarnation)
@Mike fuller cooking tutorials yeah but you see, Demise wanted the Triforce, he wanted it's power. Demise is evil for a reason and with an ultimate purpose.
Majora is evil because...yes, I like the explanation that they want to destroy Termina as a sort of revenge for being sealed away, but other than that it seems that Majora is evil for no reason. They never say why. And they also don't have an ultimate goal. They never mention any plan for after the world is destroyed. And that's why I like them more.
@Mike fuller cooking tutorials I don't believe Demise to be the source of Majora as I believe that Termina is not really affected by what's going on in Hyrule, not to that extent at least.
Also yes, probably if you compare the two Demise could maybe be more powerful than Majora, but again, I don't think he's more evil. Demise wants, from what I could understand because I didn't play Skyward Sword, to rule the world and claim the Triforce, he wants to be the most powerful being ever. Majora doesn't want that, they fight for nothing but death. They never mention that they want to be powerful or rule, they just want to destroy everything. Of course this is a viewpoint but still. Also Majora didn't really manage to get any allies, even their own people ran away in fear. SkullKid is just possessed.
Yeah, maybe another reason why I like Majora so much is that the whole "I put a mask on and now I'm a disposable individual" reminds me a lot of the power dwelling inside Sauron's Ring (the similarities end there, Sauron is more like a Demise kind of guy).
@Mike fuller cooking tutorials yes I would give him probably silver medal of evil but at least wasnât trying to âkillâ everyone for no reason rather just wanting power.
Nah its gotta be demise. He is literally the king of demons, he has conquered time and space and his immeasurable power that he wants to use to bring darkness and tyrannical rule everywhere. Plus he is technically responsible for anything ganondorf did in any game
Spoilers: The flower girl is top tier
Flowerblight Gannon true
Lmao
flower girl and cuccos
Ever since watching a Final Fantasy VII Remake let's play, I read "flower girl" and think of Aerith.
@@thecosplaycrafter8017 you're not the only one the OG "flower girl" will always be Aerith/Aeris Gainsborough
38:11
Using the fierce deity's mask can't even come close to being called a fair fight. You can beat Majora within 30 seconds with it.
Oh yeah but fierce deity is broken op
I remember when I first played majoraâs mask I didnât collect all the masks and didnât even know about the fierce deityâs mask and beat majora without it,it was hard but could be done lol
Imagine a zelda horror game timeline where demise won in skyward sword
It's crazy to think about had Demise won in Skyward Sword, Ganon wouldn't exist as Ganon or Ganondorf is the reincarnation of Demise because of the curse he put upon Link and Zelda after defeating him.
@@retrogamermax8287 i could imagine he woulda created an evil universe where hyrule is like the horror comic series crossed
@@retrogamermax8287 funny thing is that itâs not just zelda and Link who are cursed, according to the Japanese version of Skyward Sword, Demise cursed the people of the Gods aka Hylians
@@TheKeatonMask I never knew about this. That makes a lot of sense that the population of Hyrule and their descendants would end up being cursed too.
It would be a dystopian world survival horror game
Not gonna lie, Vaati should've been in the godlike villains. He absorbed the light force, granting him limitless power. He also took the magic cap which has the power to grant wishes whoever possess it.
But yes he got less powerful later on in the series but still, Vaati in Minish Cap is a whole other level.
Vaati at least in his Minish Cap incarnation is definitely in the Godlike villains category. He inexplicably gets weaker and less threatening in the other games he appears in.
Even in his weaker forms Vaati is straight up harder to kill than Ganon. Any sacred sword works on Ganon, but you need the Four Sword specifically to hurt Vaati
Skull kid is implied to have supposed to have attacked Link in Twilight Princess. Hence why the Master Sword is the Woods and he _leads Link to it._
Same deal with why he attacks Adult Link in OoT- Adults are *not* supposed to be in the Lost Woods inside Kokiri Forest. If they are, it means they're looking for something. Which would usually be: The Deku Tree. The Sage of Winds/Forest. The Spiritual Stone.
The legend of Zelda companions: good to most good.
Least Good: Midna ( mainly because she at first only helped Link out of her own selfish desires and she's also shown to have a dark side in the beginning)
Good: Fi (aside from being annoying for the player she's the average video game companion)
Most Good: Zelda ( yep Zelda was Link's companion at one point)
Lets brad do Zelda and sonic
@@buddymmx3936 Zelda overall is a better person morality wise.
@@buddymmx3936 the original commenter with LoZ companions said good to most good so yeah.
@@chadpeterson5698 Spirit Tracks Zelda :D
It's good to see Cia on the #2 lowest. She did a mess with Hyrule like you explained *BUT* was ultimately willed to help even if she didn't get what she wanted. My opinion is that Cia just really needed to hear Lana's words but never listened to her.
Byrne is so underrated, his theme is boppin, his design is pretty decent, and the writing in spirit tracks is amazing. I really hope Nintendo pays attention to the ds zelda games
Byrne (I live in the uk so he's called staven to me) is definitely the most underated. One of the most well written zelda ''villains''
Wouldn't that have been great if Byrne was playable in Hyrule Warriors? Alongside Vaati the Minish?
@@Gazing-09 Yeah, spirit tracks and the GBA games need more love
@@Gazing-09 donât forget Groose.
Why we needed 2 more links over Groose vaati and byrne makes no sense
The battle between him and Link and phantom Zelda was so much fun tho
Majora: *Is an insane and sociopathic mask*
Also Majora: *Does the Russian folk dance in stage 2 of its boss fight*
*Oh yeah, it's all coming together*
Yeah i don't know how majora's mind works. Wish nintendo could give us more information about this mask.
i believe this is from the manga so take it with a grain of salt that majora was a monster that only craved two things The death and suffering of others and it's own demise a traveler came along one day and then talked with the creature gained an understanding of it and offered help... they played the song of healing turning the monster into a mask
@@gabbychan6609 Yes, it does appear in the manga, but also in the boss fight
Dont forget majora can do the moonwalk too
Yeah...
Ghirahim is an AMAZING villain. His unpredictability makes him really interesting
Sly cooper villains:evil to most evil.
Least evil: Dimitri.
Middle evils: The contessa/Mugshot.
Most evil: Clockwark.
The Contessa definitely. Someone who can say that they are above good or evil is enough of a red flag
I think Vaati should have earned a higher place, considering that he didn't have to be egged on by Ganon until that last appearance.
Regarding Yuga, I think there's a bit of 'The Mind is a plaything of the body' going on, seeing as soon as he fuses with Ganon, he becomes obsessed with Link and ruling the world.
White it's possible it was his plan all along, fusing with Ganon did nothing for his mental state.
It's actually not Bellum who gets absorbed into the Phantom Sword, its that Life Force Sand which gets filled in the Phantom Hourglass with which the Phantom Sword was made of
Pokemon:
Evil Team Leaders: Evil To Most Evil and Ash's Companions: Good to Most Good
Evil: Ghetsis
Least: Guzma
@@Nosretep Least evil would be Chairman Rose because he had Galar's best interests at heart, plus he also wants to prevent people from going through the same tragedy he went through when he was a kid.
And demise looks like a cool Irishman soooo he looks cool?
A bit off topic, in Ancient Egypt, it was believed that gods don't reincarnate, they take hosts that they can influence or control. Maybe that's what's up with Ganondorf (the influencee)/Ganon (the true form of the Curse of Demise). It doesn't excuse his actions, but it might make him redeemable at some point.
I feel like it's worth mentioning that in the manga, shadow link isn't actually that evil, just a pawn to Vaati untill Zelda tells him "deep inside you're really a hero, YOU are a Link too" and he decides to help the four Links against Vaati
38:48 Not true. As mentioned by the Essence of the Triforce at the end of the game, and by a monster tree you can talk to in the Dark World to the east-northeast of the Pyramid of Power, Ganondorf's wish was to rule the world. It's only that the Triforce's "expression" of Ganondorf's wish was to turn the Sacred Realm into the Dark World.
So basically Ganon forgot to specify.
fun fact about the twinrova's last words in ocarina of time in the french version: the last line is "At least, I'm the sexy one!"
Majora himself should have ranked as the most evil, he didn't want to rule the world, he just wants to destroy while causing as much pain and misery as possible
I agree completely and to think the idiots at the villains wiki only put Majora at near pure evil.
@@chadpeterson5698 they did describe majora as minor amoral so it does make some sense
@@LucarioBot
They also said the argument was very weak since Majora has a personality
@@chadpeterson5698 exactly
@@LucarioBot and that personality doesn't show any redeeming qualities in fact it's only bad qualities such as being sadistic, manipulative, untrustworthy, omnicidal, and cruel.
How the heck is Astor so low on the list?
I just had an idea for a Legend of Zelda RTS:
The Good campaign is a normal war between Ganondorf's armies and it ends with him being sealed away.
The Evil campaign takes the perspective of Ganondorf before Wind Waker. It ends with him winning but then the rains begin to fall. But it could easily give us a whole game that gives us a massive backstory for Ganondorf.
It could be like Battle for Middle Earth.
Link has fought so many villains. Just like Sonic and Mario.
Ooh! Do nintendo heroes, good to most good
Are we forgetting that it's most likely a different skull kid?
I think that Skull Kid is actually given the role of gardian of the Master Sword later on, as we see in Twilight Princess.
... he has made contact multiple times with links so it makes sense that he would probably be able to sense the heroes spirit and thus gave link a trial to prove that he is ready to wield the master sword and not actually not ready to use it. It's a test to see if link is ready to use the sword of evils bane. Or if he's just naive and isn't ready to control the power of the master sword.
I thought wait why isnât ganon number one but then you bring up demise and your right heâs pretty much responsible for every evil thing in the Zelda time line.
Except majora who can actually rank higher than demise and there are other villains who are worse than ganon namely veran, zant, ghirahim, yuga and astor
@@LucarioBot thank you for saying that for me.
@@LucarioBot youâre not wrong. But demise is truly evil and is in my opinion the most powerful Zelda villain. Also demise is the one who started the cycle for ganon and zany and garhim. Heâs the ultimate evil and was only defeated because he was cocky.
@@eaglewarrior7979 being more powerful allows you to commit bigger crimes which is why you shouldnât compare the worst crimes of a deity to those of a mere mortal
So we actually did get some extra backstory for Sooga. We see in a flashback that he was a lonely, starving boy, probably an orphan, who stumbled upon a Yiga encampment, and was nearly attacked by their foot soldiers, when Kohga awoke from a nap. To the young Sooga's surprise turned gratitude, instead of putting the boy out of his misery, Kohga offered the starving waif a banana, and since then, Sooga has spent his life indebted to him.
Notes and my Opinions I made while watching the vid:
I donât know how accurate these sound because I have only looked into the lore of some canon zelda games but not others (an example of this would be like Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask, both to an extent-thereâs always more to learn and speculate about)
-Iâm surprised that you didnât mention Dorian from botw for the low lvl villains category but I also get that heâs also kinda a minor character in botwâs world as opposed to skullkid
-Iâm also surprised that you included age of calamity in this, mostly due to the whole debate about the game being canon
-Another thing that I wasnât expecting was Vaati being in just the powerful villains list and not the godlike ones because of how he is in minish cap and how he ends up returning several times eventhough heâs less powerful
-Iâm tempted to argue about Girahamâs placement in powerful villains instead of godlike villains too considering how he was basically Demiseâs right hand man servant sword and I would like to argue that he should be right under Demise if not closer to Deniseâs placement (or at least farther up on the list) considering how his main appearance is in skyward sword showing how heâs been there since the beginning and how he toys with Link by sparing his life
-I feel like Zant should be under Giraham in this list because of his actions and how he was manipulatived by Ganondorf vs those who willingly side by Demise such as Giraham
?-Ganondorf should probably be higher with his placement on the list due to him being an incarnation of Demise
-I feel like Calamity Gamon should be higher on the Godlike villains list because of how the Calamity is âpure malice incarnateâ aka straight hatred and how long and the amount of damage it did to botwâs Hyrule considering that by the time we play as link after being in the shrine of resurrection for 100 yrs that itâs an apocalyptic kind of setting (not quite as thrust in your face as a whole moon about to fall on termina but still pretty apocalyptic) but still below Demise himself(my opinion). Oh yeah, it also went over to age of calamityâs timeline to try to raise hell there too. (I unfortunately donât know much about seasons and ages so I donât know how much weight this holds, I do know that the ganon in those games wasnât an intelligent ganon possibly due to twinrova making a jank revival meaning he was kinda just angrily swinging around a trident at link but his physical strength and hatre does make him a dangerous entity, just not enough to be more powerful than the calamity bc of what I stated earlier in this note)
-I would argue about shadow links placement due to how he was by Ganonâs side vs smth like the calamity however he is a reflection of the hero and released Vaati so he is some kind of powerful entity
-I would like to greatly argue about Majoras placement here,-this dude raised hell on Termina and was sealed away in the mask by the tribe that worshipped him bc they were scared of him and what he couldâve done if he was not sealed, hell we saw everything he did in Termina as just the mask, using Skull Kid as his puppet and we are given the Fierce Deity mask that gives us, link the power of a Dark God in order to fight Majora on even ground to save Termina (or we can just fight him as the hero of time and the fact that we can do that as a literal child makes me wonder about the hero of timeâs power levels and is lowkey terrifying to me). Majora is mischievous and deranged and a deity to be feared almost as much as Demise himself.
I laughed every time he said astor.
âAfter a store was stealing their soulsââ
okay but why do the last four of the powerufl villians category just give me the same energy? Like they're all crazy, but in a likeable, wierd way.

@@jakeking3529 This comment aged horribly
I think skull kid in twilight princess was testing the hero and protecting the sword from unworthy individuals. As for adult link, thatâs a different version of the skull kid since he never got to befriend link in that time line.
He did befriend Skull Kid in that timeline, he did it in the past before going to the future.
Couldn't have been after returning to the past because Zelda immediately told him to leave Hyrule after returning to his child era, and he went to the Lost Woods, so if Link befriended him there then Skull Kid would've recognized him in right away in MM, as they would've met like an hour prior or maybe just minutes, so it doesn't add up.
I think adult Link is attacked in OoT because either the Skull Kid doesn't recognize him (to be fair, Mido doesn't recognize him either, so it's feasible) or maybe it's not the same SK, since we know of at least 3 of them in OoT, so there could be more.
Metroid Good to Evil.
You should do that when Metroid Dread releases
The Good đ: Samus Aran
Grey Area: Rundas
Bad to Evil đ„đ: Ridley
@@at00ss16 I'd say Sa-X is worse.
@@at00ss16 How tf is Rundas in the grey area? Also yeah, the X are definitely worse than Ridley. They're pretty much evil personified. At least Ridley has a soul.
@@carnage0685 and Ridley doesn't care he'll kill anyone and everyone he wants he may have a soul but he might as well not have one. Also the X as you describe it is amoral so they don't know the difference between good and evil while Ridley does as a result Ridley is MUCH worse.
@@chadpeterson5698 X Parasite are danger to all organisms they meet. They can cause serious mutations, unlike Ridley.
Overall good list, and I can understand giving Demise the top spot just for sheer scope of his influence on the rest of the series...but at the same time once we finally see him he comes off as almost honorable, willing to not only grant Link a chance to face him but creating/making a portal to a new plane for their fight so it would not damage Hyrule and allowing Link to take as long as he needs to prepare for the fight, as opposed to the sheer chaotic malevolence of Majora who not only intended to destroy a world, but seems to actively draw it out to feed on the despair of the inhabitants given it is made clear when the giants stop the moon he could have been 'pulling harder' for lack of a better way to put it and had the moon strike down faster. Add in the shattering of the Great Fairies, which honestly probably count as demigods in their own right, the sealing and corruption of the four guardian god giants, and the twisted mindset that sees all the havoc it has inflicted on Termina as a mere game, which begs the question of what it being serious would look like, rambled a bit there, but point is, if we are ranking by raw evil, I would put Majora at gold, or at worst silver if you are upping Demise due to being technically responsible for all Ganondorf/Ganons as Ganon only wanted to rule the world not destroy it for sadistic amusement/some sort of power boost, really is unclear what it gains from blowing up Termina, which is part of the intrigue I suppose for me.
Except they underestimate many villains due to forgetting that they are doing evil to most evil not weak to powerful
@@LucarioBot it does feel like a mix of the two went into the process, to a degree I can see more powerful as a factor as it effects the scale their evil actions can effect, but they should have perhaps made the title a bit different to reflect that they mean who are the worst threats not solely how evil this person is...because if how evil they are was the sole qualifier I would have to make a lot more changes
@@zanttwilik72 dangerous to most dangerous
@@LucarioBot How evil they are WAS a factor though...just not the only one, otherwise Cia and Skull Kid would have been a fair bit higher I'd say
@@zanttwilik72 skull kid wasnât truely evil though
First ever 1upBinge video Iâve seen.
First impression: I went the whole video thinking he was going to introduce the next Jackbox Party game.
To everyone who thinks Majora is the most evil: they would be if they had more lore attached to them, but for now demise is the most evil.
Not a fact majora already committed enough evil to be Pure Evil levels of heinousness so yes majora can be ranked higher
Indeed Demise is the most evil since he is the Orgin and the source
He the grand daddy of them all.
i want nintendo to bring back some of the old villains some day. namely maladus or majora, idk how they'd make a story based off of them coming back seeing how they've been defeated but im sure making a story to explain their return wouldnt be too overly hard
The most evil definitely navi she hey listened me into oblivion
Dead Meme.
@@neosolitudexevermore4895 sorry I was always a fan of necromemery
26:47 so I'm pretty sure the fused shadows drove Zant insane and everything we saw of him up until the confrontation in the palace was his true personality.
Nintendo, Iâm literally begging you to decanonize Tri-Force Heroes
Yeah or if Nintendo remakes the game remove Lady Maud and replace her with Vaati, also rework the entire story.
@@chadpeterson5698 or alternatively make her attitude a bit more like doloris umbridge as thatâs one of my favourite attributes to doloris umbridge her being a complete monster who dresses like a good person
@@LucarioBot yeah also make her a good deal more reprehensible. I would do that by having her have more ambitious motives that being wanting to take over the land Triforce Heroes takes place in and actually wanting to kill the princess just so she can more efficiently take over. Also make her less fashion based but still egotistical about her appearance. I also think she should have a more evil looking fashion sense such as wearing a purple or blood red dress and just looking more sinister in general.
@@chadpeterson5698 well I liked dolores umbridgeâs design because it didnât look sinister in the slightest which shows that even the greatest monsters dress in nice clothing but other than that I completely agree with your idea
@@LucarioBot that's why I didn't suggest a darker color like black. After all Umbrige wore a darker shade of pink which is why my first suggestion for Lady Maud was a purple dress rather than a simple skirt. Also the Wicked Stepmother from Cinderella doesn't physically look intimidating on first glance but she is definitely scary the more we learn about her and she wears red or purple, she also has several similarities to Umbrige.
Skull kid was tasked with testing and guiding the new Link to the master sword in twilight princess
I enjoyed this list and I can see why demise would be considered most evil since he did set in motion most other events to come, but in my opinion Majora's mask would've been most evil seeing as it cursed people for enjoyment possessed skull kid and caused the moon to fall simply because it can and it was all a fun game for it
Yeah and to think that the pure evil wiki seems to think Majora is amoral which he clearly isn't.
i mean thats not evil thats sadistic while demise cursed the hero to be always be followed by a reincarnation of his hate meaning all of the zelda villains other than the ones who were controlled and stuff so that means majora is still a reincarnation of demise and also demise's hate was so strong that it transcended time itself meaning he his literally pure fucking evil also his plan is to kill the goddess herself and to torture everything in existence so i feel thats a lil bit more evil ,you know ,just a teeny tiny bit more evil
@Ali Ataya I don't see much much difference between evil and sadistic...and only Ganondorf was the reincarnation of Demise's hatred...all others such as majoria, Yuga, and Vaati are there own evil. That's why his destiny is the one intertwined with Link and Zelda.
@@gaminglegacy6170 Ye but what I mean is that in the timeline skyward sword is the first meaning that the hero of hyrule has not been cursed by demise but then after demise is defeated he puts a curse to have his hatred follow him and from what we know in every Zelda game the hero has been followed by an evil and also as I said theyâre all reincarnations of his HATRED other than the ones who got used and stuff like the yiga clan but all does other dudes are technically a reincarnation of demiseâs hatred which makes sense since the entire point of the curse is that the hero is followed by his hatred which is literally what happens in all of the games also to be fair being sadistic is evil but being evil could be sadistic or a whole lot of other stuff like causing pain to others not because you like seeing their pain but because you hate them or murder enslaving torture emotional damage
@Ali Ataya well yes Demise's hatred spread throughout history but most other villains wanted to either take over the world or just kill the hero....majora went straight for planetary genocide and cause as much chaos before hand and even if it was a part of the curse, the evil choices were still their own
18:27 - The Nightmares don't really belong on this list. Every action of theirs was self defense. The worst thing they ever did was kidnap BowWow, so maybe at the very beginning of the list for that? Link destroyed their entire realm & everyone in it in the end, killing even those who helped him complete his quest. If anyone from Link's Awakening belongs on this list... It's Link.
The logic of dreams being temporary doesn't hold up, as Koholint is shown to be more than just a dream. Each individual has their own personal memories and goals. The Nightmares are capable of the self preservation instinct to not want to die. Marin is capable of wishing to be a seagull & being curious about other places. They're more sentient than characters would be who're just in a dream. They also do things even when they're not in the spotlight, something dream characters wouldn't be capable of (like when Marin played her song to the Windfish). Just because this dimension is technically a dream, that doesn't make it any less of a valid alternate dimension as any other, or the murders of its inhabitants any less of a murder. (For Link that is. Not for the human player. It is absolutely still a video game.)
So well said
Yes but the Nightmares are *technically* responsible for creating Kohalint by forcing the fish to sleep in the first place. And not for any moral reasons, they wanted to eventually take it over themselves. So yeah the Nightmares do have self preservation (some of them probably weren't evil) but they weren't the good guys you think they are.
Will you do this but with manga characters? Shadow Link is just unloved sad child there and I love him.
I wanna see a game where Ganondorf is the hero. He and link work together to stop the new villain Zelda possessed by Demise
Ganon is Demise's reincarnation though, as part of the endless cycle between him, Hylia and the hero getting forever reborn to fight again. That was his final curse when he was defeated.
@@ElekiSerket I know but what if Demise returns as his full self and we got to see Ganon live in one timeline without the essence of evil
@@fanofmediastuff269 Considering how much strange stuff we see in the franchise... that would be a cool plot twist, maybe if the 3 reincarnations finally break free from the repeating cycle of Demise's curse, thus letting Ganondorf finally be himself without being tied to Demise's natural evil
I love Spirit Tracks, but it always make me think who the true villain was here. Because, I mean, Zelda ancestors arrived to this new land and claimed it for themselves, chasing out the original inhabitant, Malladus. Was it really evil for trying to get its home back and punishing the invaders? Uhm... I don't think so.
Also, I can't believe that in a rank of evil characters you didn't include Bongo Bongo! O_O And I don't mean him as a temple boss, but long before that. He was a human, a mere standard human, that didn't even have the excuse of being a demon or a monster or being controlled. For his terrible evil acts, Bongo Bongo had his hands cut off and punished horribly through torture for a long time. Not even after death he was allowed rest, turning into the shadow boss of the temple that was his PRISON, not his domain. I simply cannot imagine what heinous actions he may have done to deserve it all...
Very suprised Majora wasn't number one
Vatti is my favorite Zelda villain. I would LOVE to see him in breath of wild 2 maybe?
Doubt it, but would absolutely love to see it. Ganon needs a break
Majora is unquestionably the most evil villain in the Zelda universe. While most of the other Zelda villains like Demise and Ganon just wanted to rule the world, Majora wanted to commit genocide and destroy everything in the most disturbing ways.
And the only âpreventionâ listed on its near pure evil wiki page is more of a debated validation than a prevention
@@LucarioBot yeah all it takes is a well detailed proposal and Majora is easily going to be put on the Pure Evil wiki.
@@chadpeterson5698 well I think Iâll make that proposal once I meet the requirements however I wonât be completely one-sided as there also isnât much evidence in favour of majora having moral agency hence me saying debated validation
@@LucarioBot well there is one way to help shows that Majora has moral agency and it involves his final line in Majora's Mask
" do you want to play with me, let's play good guys against bad guys, yes let's play that. Are you ready, you're the bad guy and when you're bad, you just run that's fine right, well. Shall we play."
This line shows that Majora has an understanding of good and evil since Majora even tries to shake Link's confidence by literally saying that he's the bad guy. He also is shown to be aware of a person's strengths and weaknesses and has an understanding of them so as a result it's pretty clear that Majora knows what he's doing.
@@chadpeterson5698 I do remember that line and tbf itâs still kinda understandable that they thought of it as amoral what with it being an evil creation
Sooga doesn't die, when your dad his entry in the gallery it says he took over the yiga clan after Kohga went to help the others
The Henry stickmin collection characters *good to evil*
Good đ Charles Calvin
Grey: Henry stickmin
Bad: Reginald copperbottom and right hand man
Evil đ: Dimitri
Henry does fall in the grey area because of the different endings.
@@aaravlanka4475 yeah he can appear good and be with the government or he can be with the toppats or none and goes by himself and sure he can be greedy and selfish and doesn't have any problems of betraying someone or murder someone in any case but he does have a soft spot when it comes to friendship and to help others
So Henry can be in the end of the good or the start of the grey area
Pretty sure Sooga does live actually. I'm pretty positive he shows up with Yiga members in the second-to-last story mission in the northwest corner of the map.
Aren't those just regular Yiga Blademasters
Here's an idea for when The last Smash Ultimate Fighter is revealed: Super Smash Bros Fighters: Good To Evil (In their main Series.)
Most Good: Yoshi đ
Good: Isabelle
Neutral: Steve
Evil: Ganondorf
Most Evil: Ridley đ
Switch Ridley and Ganondorf and then things are more logical
Sephiroth or Kazuya should be the most evil
@@4K_ob_5623 Ridley is pure evil and kills for fun even killing Samus's parents just to heal himself and taunting Samus herself about it. He's the most evil but Sephiroth isn't too far behind
Well Mario has a lot more heroic feats than Yoshi Luigi as well and Luigi is more or less often referred to as the "purest" of the Mario characters.
@@chadpeterson5698 I agree with you because Sephiroth is shown to have an actual motive for his actions (it doesnât justify his actions it just shows that he actually has a reason) whereas Ridley appears to do what he does out of pure sadistic malice.
I like Astor and think he is a great villian just under used.
And since we don't know how he dies in canon (ending of age of calamity is not canon so we don't know how he dies) and I want to see him be the villian in his own main series game without Ganondorf (maby in the btow future timeline but a new incarnation of link)
Ohhh... Same.
I hope for him to appear again in some game. He was just awesome! đ
I even have an extremely Dark theroy involving Astor.
What if Astor in his plan to ensure Calamity Ganon's victory so he can rule the world killed Zelda's mother.
bro in my country there's a snack product called astor đżđ
"Natural Causes"
What about King Bulblin...?!? Or was he not "Villainy" enough...? I was expecting him to show up because of his line "Enough. I follow the strongest side! ...That is all I have ever known."
i wouldn't count that as villain.
Thatâs more chaotic neutral.
Nintendo Villians: Weak to Powerful
(Also I am really happy you did this Zelda video)
Weak: King Hippo
Powerful: Mewtwo
Most Powerful: Gygas
Majora should have been number 1.
"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Vaati is such a neat villain
I agree with Denise being number 1, but I donât see why Yuga is ranked less evil than Majora.
I think The Twinrova faked their death in Ocarina of time, None of the other bosses have such a bizarre death scene
Good point, ty Zelda
Cubus sisters from PH also survived and they also send a letter to link if he forget heart container.
I had no clue A Store was a villain in Zelda. Was it Walmart?
Nice pun
Henry Stickmin Characters: Good to Evil
Good: Charles
Grey: Felix White
Evil: Right Hand Man
Super Mario RPG: Good to Evil
Good: Mario
Grey: Bowser
Evil: Smithy
Iâve never seen an animal look both shocked and offended at the same time
Nintendo Heroes Good to Most Good:
Least Good: Dark Pit
Middle Good: Mario
Most Good: Kirby
Iâd have Kirby in middle, but Mario still in the middle as well. Link would be at the top.
@@wetu5389 I really think he is the purest of all.
@@davidferreira7517 He does have a strong argument, but he is a smidge greedy.Still a great pick though.
Kirby is in the least good category.
kirby only helps when his appetite gets damaged.
Great video. Thank you.
If we ignore the rather inaccurate ranking
Video game parents Good to Evil
Good
Mike Haggar - Final Fight
Aliu Aku - Crash Bandicoot series
Bowser - Super Mario Bros.
Bass Armstrong - Dead or Alive
Jun Kazama - Tekken
Barry Burton - Resident Evil
Johnny Cage - Mortal Kombat
Norman - Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire
Crimson Viper - Street Fighter
Grey Area
Guile - Street Fighter
Sonya Blade - Mortal Kombat
Anju's Mom & Pamela's Father - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Talon - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Bad/Evil
Sindel - Mortal Kombat
Heihachi - Tekken
Annette Birkin & William Birkin - Resident Evil 2
Sindel is a decent parent in the original timeline but yeah she sucks in the new timeline.
Most Good: Asura from Asura's Wrath
Gray: Kratos from God Of War Series
Most Evil: The Pale King from Hollow Knight
I love how you forgot ghetsis in the bad fathers
Zant is my favourite villian in the franchise
Same here
You actually think the Skull Kids in Ocarina, Twilight Princess, and the one in Majoraâs Mask are all the same person?
I feel like this video was less "Who's the most evil" and more "Who's the most powerful". I disagree with a lot of your placements when viewing it this way, especially Zant being more evil than Girahim and especially Majora being below Demise and seemingly Ganondorf
Well Zant is pure evil and Ghirahim is only near pure evil since he fails the heinous standard. But other than that I agree.
Which can also be said about Disney villains evil to most evil and looking at these lists really shows how little time goes into ranking and that they seem more concerned with the role a villain plays than the actual crimes why else would they rank maleficent the self proclaimed âmistress of all evilâ higher than judge claude frollo whose worst crimes include attempted genocide and mass arson
@@LucarioBot yeah and Maleficent even has redeeming qualities such as caring about her pet raven Diablo. Also Shan Yu since he's a mass murderer he should have been ranked higher than Scar.
@@chadpeterson5698 and rank dr. Facilier in the top 5 since he has one of if not the biggest moral event horizon crossing out of any Disney villain
@@LucarioBot he's definitely in the top 10 for me in fact here's my top 10 overall and no sequels included
10. Cruella DeVil
9. Dawn Bellwether
8. DOR-15
7. Scar
6. The Coachman
5. Dr Facilier
4. Shan Yu
3. Commander Rourke
2. Judge Claude Frollo
1. The Horned King
Is there way to suggest a Good to Evil video? I would love to see the morality scale from Ratchet & Clank
Did you forget about the fact that Majora literally turned the HEAVENS to evil.
With Link Between Worlds establishing Lorule, I theorize that Demise is to Lorule what Hylia is to Hyrule and Girahim is Demise's Master Sword.
Told you ganondorf being forced to be evil was pure headcanon
24:16 Or 5 minutes after the second bell, which is a game over.
Majora I think is the most evil.
probably
Kirby: Weak to Powerful
I grew a softspot for Hilda. I actually found myself teary eyed at the end of Between Worlds, best 3ds Zelda remake hands down.
Favorite villain, Ganondorf. Y'know now with new Ganondorf especially. Most evil, definitely Majora.
Red dead redemption 1 & 2 characters: good to evil
Suga is the most loyal subject of kohga. In the dlc he is a playable character and he's the strongest character in the game besides battle tested guardian. Those two are dlc characters and are the strongest in the game. You unlock sooga by not letting a single yiga member drop below half health/die. If you succeed sooga will appear and you can use him against a blight. And he wipes the floor with it. And then he becomes unlocked.
The hyrule warriors story is sooooo underrated
Puyo Puyo characters, good to evil.
Good: Amitie
Neutral: Schezo
Evil: Ecolo
I like the background music.
Without a doubt Majora and Ganon are the top two most evil
No Straight Roads characters Good to evil
Good: Sayu
Grey Area: Mayday and Zuke
Evil: Kliff
Soga is still alive. We see him in secret end credits and he help in level when you unlock calamity ganon.
1. He doesn't show up in the level you unlock Calamity Ganon he does show up in 2 Calamity Ganon levels one where you play as him another where you fight against him and even then those levels are non canon.
2. He doesn't show up in the actual secret ending scene so it doesn't really count
Highly accurate and very well done.
How is this highly accurate when they split ganon up incorrectly and went too soft on veran, astor, ghirahim, Zant and yuga
@@LucarioBot Astor, ghirahim and zant straight up died anyway so they are not worthy of higher placement. Veran and onox shouldâve been higher in my opinion but everything else was correct
@@ryanh8314 if we remember that this is evil to most evil not weak to powerful
@@LucarioBot exactly, they serve more evil ones
@@ryanh8314 and still end up more evil than their masters: Zant commits the actions ganondorf did in ocarina of time but takes them a step further and is introduced threatening to kill the entire population of hyrule if princess Zelda doesnât surrender and when she does surrender he places them in a situation where they have minimal chance of survival, then thereâs ghirahim whoâs loyalty is likely just fanaticism and while less heinous than the others I mentioned still implies omnicidal intent saying âsoon this world shall be drowned in darkness and astor was NOT choosing to serve calamity ganon rather he believed ganon was serving HIM and he does it to destroy hyrule so he can rule over the world as a god
I think we need an updated version of this now that we got Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom.
Mmmm long video. Love it.
I wish they make a game on the OG fight between Hylia and Demise
They might pack a game with the Skyward Sword remake that does exactly that. Although that also might be wishful thinking.
@@chadpeterson5698 maybe a DLC
@@LikanMX maybe if they do that with remakes.
@@chadpeterson5698 they could do a warriors a la calamity
Love the Loki music.
Hey 1UP Binge!! If you want an indie game with the writing of a Pixar movie; I would recommend Wandersong( In my opinion the game is near perfection.)
Lego villains. Evil to most evil.
You know even if they couldn't magic Laurel's triforce back. They could theoretically play ping pong with it. Keeping the worlds from decaying indefinitely
I know that you said you weren't going to mention the manga but the skull kid in Majora's mask manga is so sad I feel so bad for him
Ha majora is easily the most evil being in the zeldaverse and he is probably almost as old as demise because most likely majora is demise in the sense that they are alternate worlds demise just wants to rule hyrule while majora just wants everything to burn and suffer including him so which one seems worse!?
