Nintendo fans were ecstatic when they first saw the redesign of Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Recently, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi spoke about how the daunting task of the redesign was assigned to Satoru Takizawa, a staff member and ardent Ganondorf fan, who has been involved with the series since Twilight Princess.
Redesign
Fujibayashi had only one request for the design team – to make Ganondorf a “very cool” and “very awesome demon king,” as he is considered an important character in the game, on par with the protagonist, Link. Fujibayashi expressed his confidence in Takizawa’s abilities, given his extensive experience with the franchise. According to Fujibayashi, Takizawa had previously held back his love for Ganondorf in the designs he had created. However, when this project was assigned to him, Takizawa’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and Fujibayashi knew that something great would come of it.
Future of Ganondorf
In a recent interview with The New York Times, series producer Eiji Aonuma hinted at the possibility of character development and changes to Ganondorf’s personality in future entries of The Legend of Zelda. This opens up a world of possibilities for the character’s future, and fans are eagerly anticipating what lies ahead.
In conclusion, the redesign of Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a testament to the skill and passion of the design team. With such a rich history and loyal fanbase, it is no surprise that the team put in so much effort to create a character that would live up to the expectations of fans. The future of Ganondorf remains uncertain, but the prospect of character development and changes to his personality is exciting for fans of the series.
