Ganon. King of Evil, Holder of the Tri-force of Power, Violator of domestic animals, your grandma, and income taxes.

Took about 8 hours with photoshop CS2 and my trusty palette. Actually came up with this design a couple years ago, but that picture featuring all three central characters never came to completion. Link and Zelda were nothing to get excited about, but I thought Ganon looked absolutely ruthless, so I dusted off that old pic for reference and created this. Nerdier crowds will noticed the tri-force of power wedged squarely where his exposed heart should be, I thought it a nice touch.

Again, straying from more conventional Canon design to work on my own ideas. I rather like the primordial Germanic shamen look.

This makes me think of Ganon's fate. I mean, he was killed for once in Twilight Princess. ALl the other times he had to be sealed away. Not that I expect him to be gone for every long, regardless. But if Ganon were to actualy return from mortal death, perse, this is how I would like him to be.

Very cool and dark rendition. You really emphasize the darker, mystical, shamanic powers of Ganondorf here: he truly is an evil sorceror-- or witch doctor witch fits him so well. I really like the boar headpiece and how it conceals his visage like a gaping maw, and his neck piece is extraordinarily detailed.

Furthermore, the one detail that puts this over the top is the way you have his triforce of power inserted/embeded/surgically implanted in his chest! That's absolutely disgusting, horrifying, and spine-chilling and it really defines this shamanic Ganondorf as truly willing to dabble in the dark magics.

Having dabbled in some Ganondorf redesigns myself, I'm amazed and impressed by what you accomplished here. Superb job! :)

This is amazing. You and Nintendo need to make this Ganon's next form.
