“I think I would like being married to you. If you keep— keep telling me stories. You have a really nice voice, Ganondorf. You should do this more often…” “Thank you. And I definitely can do that,” Gan immediately agrees. Perhaps she wants to come to Gerudo and see his stars and his moon and his sun as much as he wants to show them to her. He will be a good husband to her too, the best in the world. Much better than any stupid Hylian noble. “Though… I’m afraid I don’t have a barn for your sheep just yet. Do you want me to build one?” “Well, I don’t have any sheep. But I would like some.” “Hm.” He rubs at his chin for a moment. “I could get you some sheep.”
As a young boy, Ganondorf promised the sacred maiden of Hyrule a whole barn full of sheep, if only she would become his wife and he her husband. Many years and tribulations later, his beloved wife remembers that promise and inquires after the sheep she never received — at least not in the way either of them would've expected.
Or, Ganondorf and Sheik watch a sunrise and a moonrise, nearly two decades apart, and talk about love, family, and The Romances of the Sun and the Moon.
