The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom saw the return of the Demon King Ganondorf after a nearly seventeen-year hiatus. The iconic antagonist of the Legend of Zelda franchise has been revived, reincarnated, and redesigned many times throughout the lifespan of this classic Nintendo franchise. Seemingly always destined to return in some way, Ganon is never truly defeated. Even after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's satisfyingly definitive ending, the threat of Ganondorf is always looming.
