How Calamity Ganon manifests is still a big mystery to me. Prior to TotK, Calamity Ganon was a lot simpler to understand. He was once a man that, consumed by his hatred for Hyrule, returned over and over again to antagonize the land he wished to burn to the ground until he lost all sense of the man he once was, becoming a force of nature with its singular goal being to see Hyrule razed to the ground and shrouded in darkness. It was a story of how hatred and the desire for power and ultimate victory can drive a person to become something unnatural, something that is not themselves yet also revealing the most basal nature of that person's heart. It was a story of how a kingdom who imposes its rule with impunity will face its consequences.
Then TotK happens and it sort of turns everything upside down.
It is implied that Calamity Ganon is a manifestation of Ganondorf's hatred. A lot of people, seeing the gloom and malice dripping from Ganondorf's corpse when it is first found, assume that it is from that malice that Calamity Ganon arose. This would imply that Rauru's seal was flimsy.
Except it wasn't.
It is stated clearly that Ganondorf's seal was weakened when the Calamity rose 100 years ago and damaged his seal. That is when the gloom and malice began to actually escape his corpse. By the time TotK rolls around, it has weakened to the point that the surface is affected, making people ill, and that is what prompts the investigation by Link and Zelda. This means that up until then, Rauru's seal was pretty airtight.
So, if Rauru's seal did contain Ganondorf's dark power for thousands of years, how did Calamity Ganon manifest? Was Ganondorf's hatred that powerful that he basically hallucinated a manifestation of his hatred into existence? What the actual fuck?

Let's watch the West memphis 3 doc. Let's listen to the metallica songs they use in the doc. Let's live in the sun. Let's swim naked at a secluded lake. Let's hike up to mountains, fuck in the forest. Let's build a garden on a balcony. Let's live in Italy or Spain or Greece. Let's live on an island. Let me also do my own thing. Let me do my own thing a lot. Let's dance. Let me buy a car I'll drive you to India. I don't want to feel attached don't let me choke. Choke me let's get attached forever.
