Gonna hit you with a bingo ask too cause i wanna know your thoughts on Ganondorf/Vaati and perhaps even Ganondorf/Octavo
Ganondorf/Vaati: OHHH YES PLEASE. I barely even know Vaati but I love this one.
Okay I've never played any Vaati's game (I really need to) so I can't say much about him and his history with Ganondorf, but I'm pretty sure this is yet another one of his exes, right? Just add him to the list. I never really thought about it before because I didn't know much about Vaati, but all of your stuff about them has fully convinced me.
They're both fucked up, have some sort of history, and don't exactly align with their goals. Yet somehow....... I am convinced this would work between them. I'm not sure why. I want them to succeed and become the power couple of Hyrule.
Also I think I really need to read A Tale of Two Rulers to see them interact.
Ganondorf/Octavo: INTERESTING INTERESTING. I DIDN'T CONSIDER THIS ONE BEFORE, but I think you're onto something here. Octavo helped create Ganon by showing Ganondorf the potential power of music in his very attempt to stop him. I know his whole goal is to stop Ganon, but obviously the guy is very corruptible when it comes to power lmao. And I'll always say it, but Octavo is powerful, damn it. The guy is off time-traveling and splitting the timeline and creating monsters. He even defeated Ganondorf in one timeline. He would be valuable to have.
I think Ganondorf could turn him, tbh. And I think it'd be fun if he helped turn Ganondorf into what he is now and then he helped turn Octavo into a worse version of himself too.
Plus he is TOTALLY Ganondorf's type, that guy LOVES gay, dramatic, purple, little mages.
