tom nook is NOT a landlord!!! he is a construction worker! he SELLS you a WHOLE HOUSE! He is not CHARGING YOU however many bells a month to live there! You PURCHASE a HOME that he BUILDS FOR YOU and then you PAY HIM FOR HIS SERVICE. He charges no interest he sets no time limit it is a relationship built on trust. the only penalty you get for not paying off your home is that he won't build more home until you pay him for the first one. A guy that builds you a house wherever you want him to and then charges you for the cost of construction is not a landlord you own the fucking home
Call this a woke agenda projection if you will, but I think the Gerudo would largely be accepting of homosexuality. At least, between Gerudo women.
Imagine if you went outside today and everyone you saw was a woman. The female Gerudo to Hylian / Sheikah male population ratio is too unbalanced for it to be an expectation that every Gerudo find a male partner. Even if they do place a high value on heterosexual relationships for the sake of reproduction within BotW and TotK especially, lesbian relationships would still probably be acceptable in Gerudo society due to the above.
Do I think it would be viewed the same as heterosexual unions? No. But I imagine they'd still be able to get married and not face much (if any) stigma from other Gerudo. Lesbianism is just normal to them.
Male homosexuality however... They'd probably view it less kindly due to the population issue once again. Ganondorf didn't seem to have any issue doing whatever gay stuff with Zant, though, or having the heavily (and probably offensively idk) gay coded Ghirahim as his minion in Hyrule Warriors. So maybe not, there's not a lot of evidence for this.
Then again, the romantic preferences of his underlings are probably irrelevant to him. Ganondorf believes in discrimination against those who don't serve him, not against the gay.

Ignore my stupid account, I want to send on anon but this is my fucking main and I hate it.
ANYWAYS.
How come Starline wasn't included in love interests? Eggman has canonically called him "my dear Starline" and he does have a figurine of him. I think he could count. They just... happen to divorce pretty fast because Starline thinks he's better than him. But there WAS something before that. 🙏
Ooo good question! I haven't actually read the IDW comics, and to be honest I don't plan on it unless I magically start hearing really good things, so I suppose Starline slipped through the cracks.
From what I understand, they're a lot like Quark and Robotnik in that one in that one AOSTH episode in dynamic, right? Homoerotic scientist beef or whatever. I don't see why he wouldn't count from the evidence you've given.
The figurine thing sounds more borderline yandere behavior. I'll have to look into it.
Gathered some Eggline evidence!
^ "My dear Starline", during the beginning of the Metal Virus Arc, around the start of their partnership.
^ The figurine thing. He was specifically embarrassed about having a Starline one.
^ Strangely sweet-seeming moment between them.
^ Their divorce, caused by Starline not listening to him and being a lackey, trying to work as a partnership rather than him being submissive.
^ Starline crushed by rumble after their defeat. Eggman truly does not give a fuck because of Starline's disobedient behaviour. Once again leans into this idea of a preference for someone submissive.
Here is a really good post I found that explains really well why Stobotnik worked and Eggline didn't.

Hero of Hyrule
Another thing I forgot to mention here... Robotnik has got to be a breast man across the board because why did he feel the need to make that but hurt comment about being a formula baby in the first Sonic movie.
It just occurred to me yesterday that I completely forgot to mention whatever vaguely homoerotic thing Ganondorf and Zant have going on in TP in my big post. Consider this part 3, then?
I haven't actually played TP for myself, so correct me if I'm wrong on anything. I wouldn't call Ganondorf's relationship with Zant a massive outliar from what I've previously covered, still serving as a tool for him but in a more miniony way. The only big difference is that Zant is a man. We have no canon evidence to inform us on Gerudo views on homosexuality, or views within Hyrule at large, so we can't draw any conclusions as to how Ganondorf would view such a relationship. I may make my own headcanons on this eventually, though.
Beyond this, you could also view Zant as an outliar due to his deep devotion to Ganondorf, of which is apparently mutual.
These feelings can be speculated to be returned on Ganondorf's part for a number of reasons; because Zant is a very good minion to him, because Ganondorf sees a bit of himself in Zant (maybe more of a stretch, but they do have some similarities), etc. What I think is interesting, though, is that Ganondorf doesn't really seem to care that Zant is... a little strange, to put it plainly.
Even just the language used by Ganondorf in the image above feels so much more intimate than anything he says to Zelda or Nabooru in his interactions with them.
Probably ideal on Ganondorf's part, however, a large power imbalance still remains with Zant calling Ganondorf "my God" and "Master" and such. Unsurprising, I feel it is very much like Ganondorf to enjoy being miles above everyone else, even if he clearly favours them, in terms of power and dominance over a situation.
Broke: Ganondorf has never engaged in a genuine romantic relationship in canon, however we can ignore this because my OC is sooooo different yadda yadda... Lovey-dovey kissy huggy
Woke: Ganondorf, like many Gerudo, would view romantic relationships both as a tool (however, for gaining different things) and as a near sacred matter. He does not engage in romance canonically because he has found no-one he believes is worthy of him and serves his goals simultaneously.
Nah, it makes perfect sense & I definitely agree to an extent. At the same time, I see most of this as something that Ganondorf himself might have taken into account. Namely that he seems the sort who'd only considered someone that he could have as only a wife. Someone who is not as storng as himself.
But that brings into question how he'd handle someone on his level in terms of martial prowess, intellect, strategy, & charm. I like the idea of a meeting of the minds. Of finding THE person.
Not simply the loyal wife to an all-powerful king, but a true queen in her own right. One equally as formidable as her husband. One who'll not take disrespect.
Somehow, I just don't think that the man would anticipate such an encounter.
Honestly? I think he'd take meeting such a powerful woman as a bruise to the ego and either see her as a rival, be she as militeristically focused and domineering as he is, or potential major political ally. Still a tool to him, just in a different sense :/
The very idea of another person having his level of power would frustrate him deeply, and he would potentially seek to squash her within their relationship. Even for some of the "nicer" Ganondorfs like WW, I can still see this happening subtly. Even if he genuinely respected her and desired her as an ally, he'd still be manipulative as all Hell. Overly flattering, eager to show the very best of himself. He'd struggle far more to be vulnerable with someone he viewed as his near equal especially.
I don't doubt that either of these could result in genuine love, in Ganondorf's own way, however. He'd be taken a-back by a woman of equal standing, in spite of his desire for dominance. He may even respect her for it in the long term.
This is a very fair analysis of Ganondorf as a character & I don't doubt that you might be correct.
At the same time, I'm heavily biased as I have an OC whom I pretty much created to be his perfect match. One to act as a sort of counterbalance to him. It was, in a sense, a bit of a thought experiment on my part.
I definitely agree with your assessment on how he'd handle a relationship. Dominating, manipulative, a struggle to show vulnerability to anyone, not just an equal. All of that very much aligns with my own assessment of him. At the same time, I have this idea in my head that, someone who was able to see passed the manipulation & counter it with either her own subtle manipulations or even just directness, would... intrigue him.
Like a mental chess game, if you will.
My thoughts are something along the lines of the trope, Silk Hiding Steel. But then, you're more than welcome to disagree.
How this conversation feels:
I do agree with you that he'd be intrigued, yeah. It certainly helps to counter his frustration if he's somewhat beguiled.
I'm not a big fan of the 'silk hiding steel' trope myself because I think it's a little overdone, but I think it could work well for a potential partner for Ganondorf as kind of a yin to his yang, if you know what I mean.
An interesting thought is how any of the beast Ganons would take to a partner like your OC, seeing as they're generally more direct with what they want. I don't know if you're into any of the beast Ganons in particular, but your writing for ALttP him is very good :D
I'm sorry if I come across more aggressive than necessary. It's definitely not my intent. >///<
Thank you! In fact, that was one of the important things that I had to navigate so as to keep the interaction between them believable. That is to say, Ganondorf's ego. Like, I had to really thread the needle on keeping her his equal, while not bruising his ego too roughly. Mostly, I did this by having it so that she starts off as equally skilled as him, but lacking in physical strength thus allowing him to just barely win their spars. At least, until after he's caught feelings & they're married. After that, she'll eventually become so evenly matched with him that spars become more a matter of luck & strategy than prowess. And I'm referring to both of them.
Another important factor for them actually being able to work together is that her personality is far more humble, level-headed, & self-assured than him. She feels no need to behave dominantly, so Ganondorf doesn't feel threatened by her. More so, she is a very composed individual with a presence of gentle authority that goes unspoken until she shows exactly why no one should ever underestimate her. (Though, it's sometimes difficult avoiding the Mary Sue pitfalls.)
Really? Then, we must not run in all the same fandom circles as I actually don't tend to come across this trope much in my own fandoms, which is part of why I find the silk hiding steel trope to be such an interesting one. Though, I wouldn't be shocked if it's actually more common than I think & I just haven't been encountering it. At the same time, that's EXACTLY the dynamic I had in mind: the yin to his yang!
Oh? I- Thank you! That's very kind of you! >////< Though, would you mind reminding me what, specifically, I wrote on ALttP Ganon that you enjoyed, as… I've kind of made a bunch of posts. 😅
As for your question, in the end, I somewhat see the Beast Ganons as Ganondorf losing himself. Not simply his humanity, but in some cases, his sanity as well. Maybe not so much TP & HW Beast Ganon (as, for whatever reason, they give the impression of having greater control over themselves), but definitely in the cases of OoT, TotK (referring to Dragondorf), & especially with the Beast Ganon as he's depicted in the Downfall Timeline. Though, I base that last part on the fact that by the time you see him in LoZ2 (I believe), he's essentially little more than a non-verbal, vaguely anthropomorphic pig-shaped silhouette that really just... doesn't seem to react much.
And, I somewhat use that alongside other bits & pieces of information throughout the series, to put together what I hc the actual consequences of using black magic (such as malice, gloom, & the like) to be. In my mind, it's corrosive in almost every sense of the word & the ultimate end result for warlocks/witches (those who use it) is to eventually become monsters. Some even little more than animals mentally. In a way, you could see it as having a similar effect to that of the Ring from Lord of the Rings. It grants great power, but at the cost of losing everything.
But I digress; in a sense, I see Beast Ganon as Ganondorf's swan song &, in some respects, even a monument to his own hubris.
As for how they'd take to my OC... It would vary greatly depending on not only the Beast Ganon, but also the version of my OC that would correspond with that Beast Ganon, as well as how far along in the relationship the 2 would be at those times. I'm more than willing to give it a good think, but it'll take time.

I had a dream last night that I woke up, looked at my phone to check the time and found it was "38 minutes past the King of Hyrule" because I'd installed a special clock app that replaced the hour with a Wind Waker character. Apparently this meant it was 12:38 PM.
