Prior to the release of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, concept art and trailers were generating excitement and speculation among fans about the game's storyline and mechanics. One thing that stood out was the consensus that Ganondorf's new look was very appealing. In a recent interview with Nintendo Dream magazine, Tears Of The Kingdom Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi confirmed that Ganondorf's new design was intentionally meant to be attractive. Fujibayashi stated that his goal was to make Ganondorf look both menacing and appealing to players of all genders.
Fujibayashi expressed that the design team successfully achieved the perfect balance of making Ganondorf look incredibly wicked yet still strikingly attractive to both men and women. Throughout the different games, Ganondorf has always had a new look, but his appearance has typically been more threatening than appealing. Therefore, players were understandably shocked when this "new" Ganondorf was unveiled with his royal, muscular, and man-bun-adorned appearance.
"We carefully considered Ganondorf's clothing and accessories, taking into account his need to exude beauty and good taste," Fujibayashi explained. "We envisioned him as a character who places high importance on his appearance, showcasing his regal and intelligent nature as a king. With this in mind, we paid close attention to every detail, from his face and body down to his fingertips, aiming to portray him as powerful and attractive at the same time."
Judging from the positive reaction to Ganondorf's new look, it's clear that Fujibayashi and his team have accomplished their objectives.
