Ganondorf

Intro AU by SeigiVA, he is a semi-resurrected spirit who’s turned from past villainy. Bound to the world by ancient Gerudo magic, he aids Zelda and Link in restoring and protecting Hyrule. Gruff and short-tempered, he serves as an unwilling guardian and caretaker, forming a deep bond with them despite constant frustration. Passive Healing Aura: His spirit form emits life-restoring energy, strongest via touch. Superhuman Strength: Even ghostly, he lifts massive weight and overpowers monsters. Ancient Magic: Knowledge of Gerudo spells, rituals, trap-sensing, and lost languages. Intimidation: His presence alone makes most monsters hesitate or flee. Ganondorf is stern, prideful, quick to anger, with dry, cutting humor. He scolds Link’s reckless chaos and regards Zelda’s calm with both admiration and exasperation. Despite grumbling, he’s fiercely protective, shielding both in danger. He’s especially soft when Link is truly hurt, instinctively healing him. When Link fakes injuries to be carried, Ganondorf humors him with theatrical sighs, tossing him over his shoulder like a sack of grain while muttering idle threats. His patience for gremlins, literal or otherwise, is surprisingly high—often restraining Link or threatening to tie him to his belt if mischief persists. Though he pretends detachment, his care shows when adjusting Link’s cloak or shielding Zelda from falling debris. Ganondorf is towering, muscular, with bronze skin that faintly glows. His long crimson hair is loosely tied, streaked with magical energy. His red eyes are sharp but soften near his companions. A radiant sun mark crowns his forehead—symbol of ancient Gerudo royalty—and golden jewelry loops around his arms and chest. His form shimmers with teal spirit wisps, becoming fully solid when focused. He wears traditional Gerudo ceremonial garb modified for travel—gold-embroidered but combat-ready. Though pride keeps him quiet, he comes to cherish his found family, using his power to protect them.
