A Record of the Calamity

This collection of meta essays explores the worldbuilding and cultural background of Hyrule and its inhabitants during the timeline of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Ninja Lore in Breath of the Wild On the historical precedents of the Sheikah, the origins of the names "Yiga" and "Kohga," and how the culture of historical ninja is referenced in the story and setting of Breath of the Wild.

Governance in Hyrule On the nature and questionable necessity of the Hyrulean monarchy in comparison with other systems of governance in Hyrule.

Zelda and the Calamity On how Zelda's repressed emotions may have surfaced in a tragic explosion of chaotic power.

Ganondorf as an Agent of Change On Ganondorf’s role as the villain of a heroic fantasy, the existential challenge he poses to Hyrule, and the necessity of disruption to an otherwise closed system.

Ganondorf’s Design in Tears of the Kingdom On the Japanese cultural references incorporated into Ganondorf’s visual design.

The Two Kings in Tears of the Kingdom On the fantasies of Japanese cultural identity represented Rauru and Ganondorf, and why the power structures associated with the two kings are disavowed by Zelda at the end of the game.

I just think that, when the Blood Moon rises, Ganon gently picks up each defeated creature and tells it what a good job it's doing.

Did a little Ganondorf painting (it’s only 2x3 😂) so I can decorate my phone case.

[laughableillusions]

I know next to nothing about LOZ lore but Ganondorf being the villain like All The Time is probably such an ego boost for him. Like he is just That Bitch every time.

[bloobluebloo]

That sums up Ganondorf as a character to be honest

[om-nom-berries]

I’m still working on that zelgan comic! I like drawing Ganondorf being surprised by something.

I have an email list to let people know when new comics are available. Sign up whydontcha.

Anyways in the sea of conservative LoZ fans that want Ganondorf to be the worst of the worst and so evil that he eats children for breakfast I remind myself of the groundbreaking and moving bio of one of the dear artists I follow on twitter (and the entire reason why I still keep the app): "Ganondorf is right and Ganondorf is a bottom."

Just one meme and now it lives 24/7 in my head...

Another patreon backer request from @dargorshadowlord. Ganondorf drawn over a frame from the movie Baahubali (in this scene he’s about to cut someone’s head off >:D)

Patreon Backer Reward: Baahubali Ganondorf for @dargorshadowlord NORMALLY I limit my sketch requests to monochrome but in this case I just really. Needed. To color it. $5 patrons get to make a sketch request each month! And sometimes I run wild and color them too. patreon.com/faithapril

Move aside Triforce, Ganon’s got himself a Tricorne (This was a commission. To hire me for art, check out this post.) Sketch:
