TofK Ganondorf Design Notes

The character design for the Ganondorf who appears in Tears of the Kingdom is extremely interesting. This is just speculation, but I don’t think he’s dressed like a villain.

The golden ornaments on Ganondorf’s topknot, chest, arms, and ankles reference the common portrayal of Fudō Myōō, one of the most widely venerated deities in Japanese Buddhism. Fudō was originally a minor Hindu deity called Acalanātha, who is an avatar of the wrath of Shiva, the god who destroys so that new life may emerge.

Like Fudō, Ganondorf wears long hair bound into a topknot, golden sandals, and loose pants gathered at the knee. These are sartorial traces of Fudō’s South Asian origins, and they serve to connect Ganondorf to the Gerudo of Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild, whose designs are inspired by various cultures along the ancient Silk Road.

Fudō was especially venerated by the warriors of Japan’s medieval period, so perhaps it’s fitting that Ganondorf’s costume alludes to the dress of medieval warlords. His robe, with its embroidered hem, crimson lining, and golden sleeve weights, would have been extremely expensive to create and would only be worn by a wealthy domain lord.

The matte black of Ganondorf’s outer robe is an indicator of high rank, as is its colorful interior. Toward the end of the medieval period, black robes were sewn with gorgeous inner linings in order to demonstrate wealth, power, and prestige. To me, Ganondorf’s robe reads as something that would be worn by Oda Nobunaga, one of Japan’s most notorious warlords.

What’s interesting about Ganondorf’s design is that he doesn’t come off as a deity or a warlord. A god would have no need for such a sumptuous robe, while a lord would not reveal his skin or wear sandals. I’m strongly reminded of the sort of rōnin famously played by Toshiro Mifune in The Seven Samurai, a skilled but aging warrior who retains his dignity despite his debased circumstances.

Ganondorf’s lower torso is wrapped in a haramaki to reinforce his core strength, and his right arm is bare so he can wield his sword without impediment. These are both very human touches, as is the cloth covering his shins and soles so that his skin doesn’t chafe. A more godlike character would not need these concessions, and a more aristocratic character would not bother with them.

In previous games, Ganondorf was covered from chin to toe in ornate armor or belted robes, signifying a lack of openness and vulnerability. Meanwhile, the Ganondorf of Tears of the Kingdom literally bares his chest as he reveals a number of contradictions. He is ornamented yet barefoot, and his regal black robe has been peeled back to showcase a bright lotus pattern.

Even despite his stern frown and clenched fists, I don’t feel that Ganondorf is visually coded as a villain… or, at least, he doesn’t seem completely inhuman.

#Legend of Zelda #Tears of the Kingdom #Ganondorf #I just think he's neat #I’m intrigued by the Buddhist imagery #maybe he can end the cycle #as a treat #don't get me started about the magatama on his crown #but maybe I'll write more about the lotus mandala on his inner robe

a bunch of people do their takes on the gods of the cookie world, so heres my go of the pantheon. it includes every cookie whos rarity is above epic, which is why clotted and oyster are present!

also i uh. dont know if capsaicin is in the right place? i havent gone through the tri-cone cup story yet ;^^ but he doesnt seem to be exactly mortal.

maybe the spirit section is a hot-take, but when sherbet and stardust came out, it struck me that they looked a lot like wind archer and fire spirit!

Longan Dragon Cookie x Sibling! Reader (Platonic)

Relationship : Platonic

Warning : Angst

Reader is GN

Longan Dragon Cookie once had a twin sibling

You were the twin of Longan Dragon Cookie. Both of you are inseparable ever since hatchlings and always stay together.

Despite being twins, the two of you have different personalities. A very huge one that is.

Longan Dragon is seen as a serious and judgmental while you on the other hand is a total opposite of them.

You are a kind hearted, gullible and compassionate dragon. You care about the cookies and befriends them.

Your friendliness towards cookies was disliked by Longan Dragon and they often warned you about the consequences of befriending with such mortals.

Despite not showing much emotion, Longan Dragon Cookie loves their twin with all their heart but their pride and judgment are always ahead of them.

This causes an argument between the two of you. Since both of you see things differently.

Longan Dragon Cookie wants to turn all cookies into stones and reshape the world.

While you think that their plans are ridiculous and told them that the world is already perfect as it is.

"So, it seems that you are turning too soft, (Y/n) Dragon Cookie. You have forgotten who you are! You are such a disappointment to dragonkind and to me. You have become worthless as those mortals and deserve to become one of them" Longan Dragon said, glaring down at their younger twin.

"Fine! It seems I'm better off as a cookie! I wish I was never a dragon and I wish I was never your twin!" you growled.

You ran away from the place and never came back.

Longan Dragon foresees the event and it burns their heart. The pain that refuses to leave. The small ivory throne next to them is now empty.

The hall once filled with your laughter is now filled with silence.

Longan Dragon doesn't know where you are, you disappear without a trace like you never exist.

Longan Dragon knew that every word and action they did had consequences. They foresee their actions and yet they don't want to avoid it.

They knew you would leave and never to return but why didn't they stop it?

And if they did, they wouldn't have lost the only dragon they call as their twin. The one that was baked from the same flour and jam as them.

I’ve been wanting to make a dragon cookie oc for a while and pandan desserts are my favorite so it just made sense: Pandan Dragon Cookie!

I love Thai naga and loved the idea of a royal warrior/fighter type character with a ngao/polearm
